Canadian Running Recipe
January 18 2011
We’ve been asked to contribute a recipe for the May issue of Canadian Running. The way it works is their nutritionist talks about certain healthy foods in each issue and then I choose from those ingredients and send a 
recipe that uses at least one of the ingredients.
Instead of using a healthy recipe from our site, I’ve decide this would be a great opportunity to create a new recipe from scratch. Some of the ingredients to be featured are blueberries, quinoa, brown rice, dried dates, canned salmon, flax oil, and sundried tomatoes all of which are used frequently in our current recipes.
I am hoping to come up with something that not only uses at least three of these ingredients but is also low fat, low sodium and high in protein, vitamins and minerals…much like the recipes at MealEasy.com. Looking at the list it should be pretty easy. Quinoa, blueberries and sundried tomatoes are some of my favourite things to cook with. I love the nuttiness and texture of quinoa; the wonderful flavour of blueberries (and their incredible nutritional punch); as well as the salty chewiness of sundried tomatoes.
We’ll be filming the cooking and testing process so we can add it to our library of videos for the site. Look for it in a later blog and also, look for the May issue of Canadian Running for the recipe. Hey, if they like it, hopefully they’ll ask me to write a recipe for Canadian Cycling, their sister publication, as well.
