Easy steak/yam/kale dinner

Sometimes, you just want a steak! 

Tonight we decided to keep dinner simple. This is one our go-to meals when we want something delicious that doesn't take much effort to make. 

Steak, seasoned with MFT Bittick's rub and seared for 5 minutes each side in the cast iron skillet. A yam, coated in olive oil and baked for an hour at 350F (add butter or olive oil to taste). 1 1/2 heads of kale sautéed in the wok with olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. 

Frozen feet, sleep, and a tasty breakfast - Paleo Banana Pancakes

Here is a recap of my 50K race yesterday.

Inspiration in a fish - fried orange roughy & tequila-cilantro-lime wild rice/black eyed peas

"Hey hon, did you get anything for dinner?"

"Nope, can you grab something?"

"Sure, I'll swing by Winco on my home."

"What are you thinking?"

"I dunno, I'll figure something out."

I wandered the isles thinking...

Resting up and chowing down - Beef soup from scratch

The last 5 or 6 weeks I have been gradually ramping up my training, with weekly mileage approaching 50 (not that much in the grand scheme of things, but quite a bit for ME), weekly elevation gain up to 8,400ft, and some gym workouts at the Crossfit Arbor (thanks for helping me work around my bum right hand!).  This week, however, I'm trying to take it easy so that I'll be rested for the Wilson Creek Frozen Feet 50k on Saturday.  As such, a couple short runs (3 miles last night, maybe another 2 or 3 tonight), and one gym workout today are all I plan to do.

Mostly, I just plan to eat!

Monday night Yum - Scallop-arugula salad

On the menu tonight we had a gourmet main meal salad.
