Cottage Custard Recipe

This is basically an egg-and-cream custard with cottage cheese courtesy of Evan. When made with small curd cottage cheese, it has a texture much like rice pudding. But if you then whiz it up in a blender or food processor, it makes a smooth pudding as well.

NOTE: You can use different sweeteners such as agave, honey, evaporated cane juice, and xylitol. All work just fine. Each tastes different because of the flavors of the sweeteners.

NOTE: The recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon Stevia powder, which is just right for Stevia. If you use another sweetener, use 4-8 teaspoons. I used 8 teaspoons for the test, and found that while it wasn't over-sweet, I could have used less. Play with it a bit until you find the right sweetener and the right amount for your taste.

ALSO NOTE: The recipe calls for cream, but you could substitute any mixture of cream and milk in whatever proportions you require for your intake of fat and carbs.

The recipe makes 5 servings.

Ingredients:
3 eggs

3/4 cup cream

1 cup small curd cottage cheese

1/2 teaspoon Stevia powder or less depending on taste

1 teaspoon vanilla extract Raisins (optional)

Nutmeg (optional)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
Mix eggs, cream, cottage cheese, and Stevia powder with a whisk until blended.
Pour into 4 ramekins.

Sprinkle a few raisins in each ramekin (I used 10 raisins per) and sprinkle nutmeg on top. Place the ramekins in shallow pan with about 1/2" water in the pan.
Bake 30-40 minutes, until a knife comes out clean.

Do not over-bake.

Top with Stevia sweetened whipped cream or raspberries.

Lift it Lisa!

The Fundamentals of Kipping

Kipping Workshop -Wednesday, February 11th at 6:30-7:30PM

Cost of the workshop $10

Do you need to increase your capacity for work and power on the Pull Up bar?

Are you W.O.D. times suffering as you kick your feet and swim your chin up the pull up bar?

Learn how to develop the momentum in the horizontal plane and then divert it to a vertical direction to increase work capacity and POWER!

Who doesn't want more work in less time!?

Right?

Learn how to take the following words on kipping and apply them on the bar:

"-push the chin and shoulders forward-violently close the shoulders pulling the chin to the bar-lean back, push the bar away-the body drives forward at the bottom...and repeat!?

Learn how this skill (and transfer of power from the lower extremities to the upper) resonates to the snatch and clean.

Greater intensity=Better Results=Better Fitness.

Get some!

CrossFit KoP's Kick the Sugar Contest

Did you know that the average man, woman, and child in this country eats 150 lb. of sugar annually?

For ONE month - ONE MONTH ONLY -just try it. Make the effort, see what it does for you. See how you feel, look, perform. You can do ANYTHING for one month, especially knowing it's for your HEALTH and PERFORMANCE. If you choose not to do it, if you haven’t sincerely tried committing to good nutrition, maybe it’s time you looked at your reasons. What are your excuses? How valid are they, really? Are you so invested in them that you’re willing to sacrifice your potential and long term health?

1. All participants must commit by signing the sheet at the gym by January 30th. Challenge starts on February 1st and ends at midnight, on February 28th. I will keep a tracking spreadsheet at the gym and some progress posts will be made on the blog along with some ideas, websites and recipes.

2. The way to kick sugar is to not eat ANY sugar of ANY kind.

3. Only consume sugar that is found naturally in foods such as fruit - and limit the consumption of too much, choosing low glycemic index fruits primarily.
What is the significance of Glycemic Index? Not all carbohydrate foods are created equal, in fact they behave differently in our bodies. The glycemic index or GI describes the difference by ranking carbohydrates according to their effect on our blood glucose and insulin levels.

4. The best way to be successful with this is to eat clean. Create meals from meats and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and NO SUGAR. No processed and refined foods with high fructose corn syrup and high sugar content (i.e.: chips). Shop the perimeter of the grocery store; avoid the aisles where labels and long shelf-lives increase the sugar content. Limit bread.

5. If you drink adult beverages, only pure spirits (vodka, whiskey, rum, etc.) and wine are allowed in small quantities. No dessert wine, or any other alcoholic beverage made with added sugar, such as beer.

6. Keep a food log, writing down EVERYTHING you eat. At the end of each week, show it to either Aimee or Evan and have them help you with your choices of foods and staying on track. The winner will be the person with the most consecutive days completed successfully. The runner-up will be the person with the most overall days completed successfully. This may be the same person or persons.

7. Please feel free to email me or post to comments with your own input, comments, encouragement, articles, recipes, struggles and victories.

So far the participants are:

Jon, Nicole, Jason, Paul, Doreen, Miranda, Cindy, Hannah, Jen C. Lisa E., Mr. Dillon

The Challenge will be on Saturday morning Feb. 7th at CrossFit Delaware Valley. CrossFitters of all levels and abilities are welcome to participate as the WOD will be scaled to individual levels.

Keystone Affiliate Challenge:

The Challenge will be on Saturday morning Feb. 7th at CrossFit Delaware Valley. CrossFitters of all levels and abilities are welcome to participate as the WOD will be scaled to individual levels. There will be an individual WOD followed by a team WOD where each affiliate will work as a group to complete. Let me know by January 24th or post to comments. I am extremely disappointed but I will not be able to attend. I will be in Texas at the CrossFit Affiliate Gathering (finding out how to make our affiliate the BEST), but I expect ALL my CrossFit KoP-ers to go and represent!! Evan will be there in my absence!

Bells and Burpees to ring in the New Year!

W.O.D. 1/2/09

Burpees & Kettlebell swings.

This workout runs every minute on the minute for 30 minutes.Start with one rep of each movement on the first minute, then add one rep every minute thereafter.

Example:

Minute One: 1 Burpee, 1 KBS

Minute Two: 2 Burpees, 2 KBS

Minute Three: 3 Burpees, 3 KBS

Minute Four: 4 Burpees, 4 KBS etc ...

Continue as long as you can adding one rep to each movement until you "miss" - until you can no longer complete all the reps within one minute. At that point you re-start on the next minute, beginning at one rep and adding up again. Your total number of reps is your final score for this WOD.
