Indian Spiced Broccoli Slaw

Indian Siced Slaw
Here is another easy, cheap veggie idea. Buy a bag of ready made broccoli slaw. Heat 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil over medium heat in a skillet, add 1 tsp of mustard seeds. Cover and cook until the seeds stop popping. Add the whole bag of slaw, plus 1 tsp cumin and 1/4 tsp of turmeric. Saute for 3-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the slaw is soft. Add 2 Tbsp of lemon juice. Stir and serve. This can even be a good breakfast, just top with eggs.

3rd Year Anniversary Workout!

Yesterday we celebrated the third anniversary of CrossFit Portland with a difficult variation of “Fran.”

3 minutes of work, 3 minutes of rest. 3 sets for rounds of:
10 heavy thrusters
10 pull-ups

Rochelle instructed everyone to work 3 times as hard since we got a 3 minute rest. I did my best and possibly had an out of body experience during my last set of pull-ups. B-R-U-T-A-L!

Here are some pics from the evening:

What We Do, Fun To Do

Working out can be challenging, fun, and done with others in a community. Or, it can be predictable, unstimulating, and just another borefest at the gym where you wander from one exercise to the next, pushing out the repititions with the same mental attention and engagement as driving down the highway.

We think the fun, challenging community just makes more sense!
