Go Lateral from NWCF

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

This is the true meaning of getting posterized. Sara does this look familiar? If you get posterized at CFDF, you will do 10 burpees on the spot! The reason for this is to work on your awareness and agility. If you get posterized this means you were to busy talking in the box and got caught flat-footed. UMMM Sara? The 20% rule is always in effect. I do this cause I care for each and everyone of you. What kind of coach would I be if I let this happen to you on the streets? So train hard and always be on you toes!!!!!!

WOD:
1000 meter row
then
6 rounds
12 wallballs (20-16)
12 burpee jumping over your barbell
12 SDHP (95-65)

Over head Squats (95-65)
Pull ups

Rest 5 mins

Tabatas
Push ups
Double unders


Kale Chippies (yes, you have to say it in your squeaky, high-pitched GIR voice)
Basically, I tried this recipe I found at Girl Gone Primal and just converted the oven temperature to Fahrenheit and added my go-to spice: garlic powder! Never underestimate the power of garlic to take something good to the next level of deliciousness!

Cooking Time: Start to finish, less than a half an hour!

ingredients:
1 bunch of kale per diner (I used dinosaur kale because it has such great texture–like dinosaur skin!)
olive oil
salt
black pepper
garlic powder
any other spices your heart desires

Preheat your oven to 355. Meanwhile, wash the crap out of your kale (unfortunately, farmers market kale is often teaming with life, so wash thoroughly!). Tear the kale leaves off the thick part of the stalk in big chunks. There is some shrinkage in the oven, so don’t make them too small or they’ll shrivel up and burn. Discard the thick stalks (I have to find a recipe using them, I feel bad throwing them away!). Dry your kale in a salad spinner or with paper towels. Dinosaur kale is pretty awesome in that it repels water, so there isn’t much water to wick away after washing. Now, put your kale on a sheet pan or pans (preferably lined with Silpat, parchment, or foil) so that they aren’t overly crowded (ideally one layer). I was living on the edge and neglected to line my sheet pan or use two pans for two bunches of kale–such a rebel!–but since the other recipes mention these preventative measures, I should too even though mine was successful and without excessive cleanup. Next, drizzle on the olive oil (don’t glug, but try to get enough on there to coat once you toss it–remember fat is GOOD) and then sprinkle on the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other spices you desire. Toss the leaves around with your hands to coat everybody equally. Now, whack ‘er in the oven for 10 minutes and check. Remove to a plate any browned ones or firm ones that are chips. Yes, they are actually chips! Leave in any floppy, moist ones for another 5 minutes in the oven. Repeat until all of your kale has magically transformed into CHIPS!
