Editors’ Weekly Round-Up

I am so excited to share this week’s picks with you! Usually it’s just Christy and I emailing links back and forth and making each other read this and look at that… Now I get to make YOU look, too! How fun!

**I have been following Shawna’s styleberry blog for a few weeks now, mostly because she is an awesome photographer, and well, I love photography! Yesterday, Shawna had a post about Crossfit. Now, maybe I live under a rock (probably), but I have never heard of this before. I am totally intrigued and plan to do some more digging.

** This video is perhaps one of my favorites. Ever. If you vlog this routine (in a unitard) and post it for me to see, I promise you will be my hero and probably my new bff, too.

**We all know and love Biggest Loser, but did you know there is a Biggest Loser Resort where people like us can go to get a jump start on our healthy and fit lifestyle? HINT, HINT husband! Christmas is quickly approaching, you know!

**One of our awesome sisters, Beki, completed her first-ever 1/2 marathon last weekend! Read her race report here! She totally rocked that race!

**I found this recipe on Tasty Kitchen and I will be making it for a party this weekend:

Green Salad with Apple, Feta, Pecans and Balsamic Dressing

Ingredients

FOR THE SUGARED PECANS:
* ½ cups Pecan Pieces
* 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar

FOR THE SALAD:
* 6 ounces, weight Baby Spinach
* 1 head Red Leaf Lettuce, Torn
* 1 whole Granny Smith Apple, Cored And Very Thinly Sliced
* 4 ounces, weight Crumbled Feta Or Blue Cheese

* FOR THE DRESSING:
* ¼ cups Red Onion, Finely Chopped
* 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
* 3 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
* ½ cups Olive Oil
* 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
* 1 clove Galic, Minced
* ¼ teaspoons Salt
* ⅛ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Preparation Instructions

Place nuts in a medium skillet with 2 tablespoons sugar. Cook over medium-high heat until nuts are coated and brown, stirring constantly, about 4 minutes; set aside.

Toss salad greens, apples and cheese.

Combine dressing ingredients in a small jar and shake vigorously (I usually just use the blender). Pour over the salad just before serving.

Sprinkle with sugared nuts.

That’s all I’ve got for this week! Come back next week for hawt-mama Christy’s picks!
