Why we love Pasta & Red Sauce, Basil Chicken, & Caramelized Parsnips Recipe

When I think of romance my mind immediately drifts to Italy... I mean, the Italian Cuisine is truly a sensual experience. So, uncork a bottle of wine for sipping while you enjoy the romantic art of preparing, cooking, and eating our course Italian dinner. Traditionally, in Italy the protein and sauce are cooked together but served separately. The pasta and sauce served first with the protein and vegetable following. A beautiful way to experience the protein and the sauce in their own individual way- complimenting flavors but without over-powering each other.

Our second course is a hearty traditional tomato sauce, which is cooked with the chicken but served as a separate course over a good quality pasta.   Did you know there over 2000 shapes of pasta? Pretty amazing! So, take a look at the different shapes and sizes to pick one that speaks to you. I chose the Tarchiette shape for this course because I loved the twisty-curly shape which has is large enough in size to have a sufficient bite to it.

Fit Friday with Nichole

 Happy Fit Friday! The snow is falling and I am in the gym, staying warm and not sliding on the ice. Winter is a great time to stay in and work with weights, even for all of you runners out there that just want to get outside. 

Today we are getting sweaty with a HIIT session that focuses on explosive moves and some solid core work. That strong intensity that comes with HIIT style workouts is great to pair with explosive moves. Just remember, even though it is timed quality is more important that quantity.

This workout should take 25-30 minites, with warm up and cool down that will end up being 40-45 minutes. Don't slack on the warm up and cool down! If you don't have a box or bench for the box hops just do squat hops.
