Gayle thinks you should go to Colorado Springs this weekend and watch the USAW/CrossFit Open.
What are we going to do with all these weird veggies, three block dinner.
Mouth watering isn't it?
It's September and we belong to Grant Family Farms veggie share. It's been a fun season of fruits and veggies and we've learned a ton. Like what the heck is that in the picture? Well we aren't exactly sure, what would be the fun in that? We do know what it is not, it is not a squash or a potato, we think it's in the turnip, radish family. So how do we stay in the zone with the unknown?
When you've been zoning for as long as we have, you start to see some similarity and you can make some pretty darn good assumptions about foods and their block content. Similar food seem to always have the same blocks measurements. We've also noticed that whatever you roast (we're talking paleo veggies people so not potatoes) and all things can be roasted into a delicious goodness, WILL in fact generally be 1/2 cup per carbohydrate block. I have measured this countless times until my heart is content and this is a very good rule of thumb with low glycemic veggie mixes.
Here's what we do know…
1 Eggplant, from farm
1 Onion, yellow
1 Green skinned white veggie (think it's a radish/turnip, from farm and as large as a 16" softball)
Chicken Breast
Grill the chicken, I love the Mrs. Dash, no salt, grill seasoning. Cut up all the veggies, spray pan with olive oil, and toss into broil on high. After 10 minutes on broil, cover the top with squirts of lime juice, no salt all purpose seasoning and cumin. Broil for a minimum of 10 more minutes (or until you get the yummy roasted crunch), stirring and covering the veggies with a liberal amount of spices as you go.
Viola'
A 3 block meal = 1.5 cups of the roasted veggies, three ounces of grilled chicken and 3 fat blocks. I used nuts, but avocado would be amazing.
Now mix it up by roasting up those unknown veggies for some mouth watering goodness.
