It&#8217;s a fascinating insight to what makes something organic, and all the work (and\u00a0bureaucracy) that goes on behind the scenes. My immediate thinking is that bigger is better for larger change, but I understand that this means that the ultimate efforts of the original organic farmers get lost in the shuffle. Thoughts?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two<\/strong>: Let&#8217;s talk about <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.foodnetwork.com\/healthyeats\/2012\/08\/12\/how-to-deal-with-post-workout-hunger\/\">exercising and hunger<\/a>. I think I am going to do a &#8220;Healthy&#8221; month coming up, because I think that healthy eating doesn&#8217;t have to mean miserable, diet-filled days and hunger, sad nights. I&#8217;ve been exercising in the mornings, but I think incorporating <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.foodnetwork.com\/healthyeats\/2010\/05\/18\/snacks-to-fuel-workouts\/\">some fuel<\/a> into my morning workouts will help me boost my run times.<\/p>\n<p>What do you guys eat before working out? <strong>When do you work out?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Three<\/strong>: Coconut oil.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/distilleryimage6.s3.amazonaws.com\/79dc5206ed6211e1a94522000a1e8aaf_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So I have this coconut oil that I got in the mail from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tropicaltraditions.com\/\">Tropical Traditions<\/a>. I am going to discuss with Becca how to use it (and soon!) because we already use + love coconut oil. Stay tuned for something exciting in the future that I am sure will make you all happy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Four:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.foodnetwork.com\/healthyeats\/2012\/05\/02\/avocados-5-new-ways\/\">Avocados<\/a>. I need to make an avocado smoothie this minute. I plan on maybe doing this next Friday before my race&#8230;I think this&#8217;ll help me run the 5k. Have you guys ever run a 5k? What did you eat beforehand?<\/p>\n<p>Five: I made <a href=\"http:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/baked-lemon-pasta-a-la-pw\/\">this pasta last night<\/a> for eleven friends, and I am still dreaming of it. Luckily it&#8217;s also what I have for lunch! I can&#8217;t believe it took me two and a half years to make it again, but I will never wait that long again &#8212; you should have this for dinner tonight. I also made it in my turkey roasting pan, because I didn&#8217;t have another pan big enough to fit all three pounds of pasta. My turkey roasting pans lives under the credenza.
