Here’s is one of my favorite breakfast smoothies.
Morning smoothie:
1 cup goat milk
1 banana
Some ice
2 spoonfuls flax seed
2 spoonufls peanut butter
Mix in blender.
I don’t use goat milk straight from the can, I mix it in a pitcher 1 can goat milk and 4 cans water. I’ll sometimes add protein powder. But I have been getting enough protein from my regular meals lately.

Here is a recipe for Yeastless, gluten free pizza crust. The original recipe is really a Yeastless Focaccia bread that I modified slightly to use as a gluten free, yeast free pizza crust. All I did was substitute some gluten free all purpose flour with Xanthum gum in place of the 2 cups of regular flour. I think next time I will use baking soda instead for the baking powder, as I prefer a more thin and crispy crust.
For the toppings I used some organic pizza sauce (sometimes I will just run a couple of tomatoes over a cheese grater), turkey pepperoni, chopped artichoke hearts, chopped olives, chopped red peppers, chopped zucchini, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese. That’s about it, a pretty simple pizza.

No, not the decade. A couple weeks ago I was wanting to come up with a workout that was simple, easy to remember, doesn’t need a lot of equipment but would still be challenging and effective. I came up with what I called The 50′s. Basically it’s doing 50 of each exercise and using a 50lb barbell when needed. I have been mixing up the order but I always try and follow the push-pull method. The push-pull is alternating between a pushing exercise and a pulling one. Here’s an example of one of my 50′s. The 50 reps do not have to be done at once, either something like a 30rep -rest- 20rep, 15rep -rest- 15rep -rest- 10rep -rest- 10rep, or what ever works for you. Just finish all 50 before moving on to the next exercise.
- 50 Bodyweight or “Hindu” squats. push
- 50 Bent over rows with a 50lb barbell. pull
- 50 Overhead presses with a 50lb barbell. push
- 50 Upright rows with a 50lb barbell. pull
- 50 Push ups. push
- 25 Pull ups, 25 chin ups. pull
- 50 Squats with 50lb barbell. push
- 100 Bicycle crunches. (Ok not 50 but if you count a “right-left” as 1 that’s 50. Ha)
I’m sure there are lot more to add to the mix, so be creative, and have a good workout. Yes that is a photo of my workout room. When the weather is nice I do try and workout outside though.
