This bar has such a great balance to it—even though its only 60% cacao (I normally like things VERY VERY dark)—the crunch of the hazelnuts, and tangy currant bits work together incredibly well. Organic and Fair Trade. Definitely getting this again. … [Read more...] about Green & Black’s Organic Bittersweet Dark Chocolate Bar, Currant and Hazelnut

Best Standard French Whip – Light Design 8 Inch
I was looking for an alternative to a blender bottle to mix up some basic protein shakes - I don't use fruit in my shakes, so using a wire wisk is a good option. After being thwarted in efforts to purchase a blender bottle last night at Whole Foods, I decided - why not try and find a small wire whisk that will fit well into the tall glasses I already have. I really don't enjoy … [Read more...] about Best Standard French Whip – Light Design 8 Inch
An Unusually Delicious Combination – Custom Chocolates with Peterbrooke Chocolatier!
Yesterday was incredibly cool - as I got to make chocolates with my friends at Winter Park's Peterbrooke Chocolatier yet again (here's a video of when we made Year of the Dragon spicy chocolates last time). The day before, while lamenting that a certain local health food store has NOT restocked their pink peppercorn and guarana dark chocolate bar, I had a sudden moment of … [Read more...] about An Unusually Delicious Combination – Custom Chocolates with Peterbrooke Chocolatier!
Let’s Talk About Designing Kettlebell Workouts….
There was a LOT of interest—we were babbling about it excitedly on Facebook, twitter, the Dragon Door forums, possibly even Pinterest?!—the ebook edition of The RKC Book of Strength and Conditioning came out yesterday. Judging from my own reaction and the reactions of others about this "can't put it down, ooo look what's on the next page" book, it's already an "instant … [Read more...] about Let’s Talk About Designing Kettlebell Workouts….
Why Dragon Door? Why all this stuff works for me….
Yesterday, after tweeting about working on my CK-FMS case study (**Update! I am CK-FMS certified!!!!!), someone remarked that "wow, you're really drinking that koolaid." My wacky personality responded that I was also taking baths in it and asked if my skin had turned a funny color yet. Pretty sure the intended outcome of the exchange was not to inspire me to poke fun at … [Read more...] about Why Dragon Door? Why all this stuff works for me….
No School Like the Old School – A Relevant At Home Workout from 1904?!?
This morning, Master RKC, Geoff Neupert (Author of the highly effective Kettlebell Burn series of programs) sent out a very interesting little email. Well, apologies the email itself was more intriguing than anything. So intriguing that I looked past the annoyance of actually having to cut and paste the url of the blog post—on any other day his emails have clickable links. … [Read more...] about No School Like the Old School – A Relevant At Home Workout from 1904?!?
Product Review: Dragon Door Kettlebells
They keep getting better and better, honestly - the ones which were at the Orlando RKC had a really nice finish on them, no need for sanding or dremel grinding - which was very good considering I had left such tools at home. I remember thinking how much I liked the one that I used for the snatch test, and how the handle was smooth and perfectly shaped to travel around the … [Read more...] about Product Review: Dragon Door Kettlebells

Beyond Organic Promo Sliders – AKA Two Bite Burgers
As you probably already know, my Beyond Organic Founder's Pack arrived this past weekend and I had entirely too much fun unpacking it on video. Also depicted on the video was putting 2lbs of the green fed ground beef in the freezer and one in the refrigerator. Overnight the package of ground beef in the fridge thawed nicely right in time for lunch. Its perfectly square … [Read more...] about Beyond Organic Promo Sliders – AKA Two Bite Burgers
Beyond Organic Founders Conference
Just got back from the Beyond Organic Founders Conference - really feeling like quite the road warrior this month, as I will have spent over 1.5x what I pay in rent for an entire month on hotel rooms for the past week. LOL. Did spend one night at home - was there for about 12hrs - long enough to sleep, take a bath, get caught up on a few online tasks and wash a load of … [Read more...] about Beyond Organic Founders Conference
