13 Days of Christmas Cookies and E-Book

I have two fun announcements to share with you!   Tomorrow, I will be posting as a part of The Ultimate Baker's Dozen Christmas Cookie Exchange.  I've come together with 12 fantastic food and craft bloggers for this delicious event.  Each blogger will post a Christmas cookie recipe tomorrow and 6 of the bloggers will be giving away a 3-month membership to The Cookie of the Month Club!  So come back tomorrow to join the fun!

On a different note, a few months ago my brother called me and asked if I would write a  cookbook  (e-book) for his clients at Pro-Performance.  Erik is a nutrition specialist and human performance and speed coach and has had the opportunity to coach for: University of Arkansas, Univeristy of the Pacific and Mississippi State University and a few Olympic athletes.  He has incredible knowledge in nutrition and it's amazing how he has helped transform his athlete's and client's lives (and bodies) with his training programs.  He has written my strength training programs for the last year and a half and I've seen incredible results.  The recipes use ingredients in certian combinations that follow the philosophy of nutrient timing.  Nutritent timing is basically a way of timing certain nutrients at specific times during the day to speed up the process in which your body burns fat and builds muscle.  I eat using this timing method because it speeds up my progress and it's another great way to add on to my hard work at the gym.  The cookbook is full of simple and easy to prepare recipes that include: Pesto Smothered Chicken, Chicken Basil and Spinach Soup, and Almond Coconut Post-workout shake, just to name a few.
