Fitness Food - Picture Sharing

I have recently discovered the wonderful food that is known as buckwheat. A friend of mine that lives in Canada told me that I should try some, and she felt it necessary to send me some in the mail! I cooked it up, per her instructions added a bit of sweetener and some peanut butter flour for a nutty taste. I was so impressed with the buckwheat I am going to the local Whole Foods in a day or so to pick some up and begin working on a really good way to prepare it! This stuff is very filling with 17g fiber per cup. I really enjoyed this bowl full of goodness!! thanks LK!!

Fitness Food - A Very Sweet Post Workout Meal

This particular recipe is for those who incorporate a decent amount of carbs into their diet. This meal was thrown together on a whim, and turned out to be very sweet and tasty. I was so impressed with the taste that I decided to take a snap shot and share it with you all! Keep in mind, this is nothing too special, but its very filling, nutritious and is a great way to get some a good amount of carbs after a demanding weight or other fitness related workout. This size of a meal is very typical for me and this is just part of it as I have left my protein source out of this particular recipe. WARNING: if you are afraid of carbs, and believe that carbs make you fat, you need to close the browser and wait for my next update!

Now of course feel free to divide this recipe up if my serving size it a bit too large for your meal/diet plan.

::RECIPE::

Ingredients: macros - p/c/f
900g sweet potatoes + white potatoes 18/162/0
15g Splenda Brown Sugar blend 0/15/0
14g honey 0/12/0
14 (1tbsp) Light Butter Spread 0/0/5
cinnamon

Directions
dice up the potatoes, coat a pan that you can cover with some non-stick spray. Turn the heat on high and add the potatoes. Sprinkle cinnamon as desired on top of the potatoes. Pour about 1/2 cups water, or a little less. You mainly want to cover the bottom of the pan with water to prevent the potatoes from sticking, and as they are cooking while covered, the water/steam will make them very soft and mushy! stir every so often and cook until desired. You may have to add more water. I like mine to be very soft, almost to the point to where you could mash them up if you want. If you like your potatoes a bit more crunchy, just cook for a shorter time. transfer the cooked potatoes to a large plate or bowl, add the butter, honey and brown sugar, give a good stir/toss. Grab a fork or giant spoon and enjoy.
