My Sunday …

I started the day with an awesome cup of coffee, made with Insight Coffee Roaster beans (http://insightcoffee.com/). Wow! I just discovered that roasting company yesterday on an impromptu trip to Sacramento.
I grabbed some toast with almond butter and honey, and headed out on a ride, hoping to beat the heat and wind. I rode from Davis to Winters, then up over Cantelow Road, back to Winters, then Davis – just over 55 miles. I had planned to ride up Cardiac Hill, also, but it just got too darn hot. I know; I wimped out. But, I rode pretty strong and each time I take on Cantelow it seems to be a little less challenging. Next thing you know, I’ll be riding my second Tour de Cure Century – just 2 weeks from TODAY!
Tonight I cooked dinner for my friend. We had a salad with heirloom cherry tomatoes, avocado, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella, and extra virgin olive oil, served with grilled bread. It was simultaneously rich and delicious, light and refreshing.
Brown rice and vegetables ... Steamed brussel sprouts, asparagus, broccolette, tomato, and short grain brown rice
Grilled Bread
To make the grilled bread, I sliced a Trader Joe’s mini Pain Pascal, spread a small amount of extra virgin olive oil on each side, and placed on my George Foreman grill. I started the grill on high, then turned it down to medium-low. You really only need a small amount of olive oil to give it a little flavor, so be careful to not soak the bread too much (although it can taste good that way, too, if that’s what you want!)
