Spread some of this goodness on your next sandwich. It’s fucking delicious. And it lets you double up on your protein sources and cut down on the fat. Shit, don’t limit yourself to just sammies. This is a choice dip so grab some carrots and cucumbers. Afternoon snack: FUCKING DONE.

SUNDRIED TOMATO SPREAD

¼ cup of sundried tomatoes (don’t buy that shit that comes packed in oil. They are way more expensive. Find the kind that look like dried fruit. They will be near the olives or the canned tomatoes in the grocery store)

1 cup warm water

¼ cup chopped white or yellow onion

1 ½ cups or 1 15 ounce can of cannellini beans (any kind of white bean works, like navy or great northern beans. You just want a creamy kind of bean)

1 clove of garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

½ teaspoon tamari or soy sauce

½ teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon dried oregano

Put the sundried tomatoes in a small bowl and cover them with the warm water for 15 minutes.

While the tomatoes soak, cook the onions in a small pan with a little bit of olive oil until they begin to look brown and smell awesome, like 5-8 minutes. Take the tomatoes out of the water and chop them up into pieces but save the water they were soaking in; no need to waste shit. Chop up the garlic into little pieces. Put the beans, sundried tomatoes, onions, and 2 tablespoons of the water from the tomatoes in a food processor and chop that shit up real small. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend it all together until it starts to look creamy. Add more of the soaking water if it looks a little dry. It’s cool if there are still some bigger tomato bits hanging around, just call that shit “rustic”. Add more spices if you think it needs it and serve that fucker up.

This will last a week in the fridge if you are good at keeping delicious secrets from your roommates.

thugkitchen:

WHO THE FUCK DOESN’T LOVE A GOOD SANDWICH?! Well this here is a damn fine sandwich that I guarantee your taste buds would high five you if they could. I mean I’m no scientist, maybe they can high five. What the fuck do I know? SANDWICHES. That’s what I fucking know.

SUMMER TEMPEH SAMMIE

8 ounces of tempeh

1 teaspoon olive oil

Marinade:

½ cup vegetable broth or water

¼ cup sherry vinegar (chill out, that shit isn’t expensive but you can use apple cider vinegar if you already have that at home)

3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce

2 tablespoons of your favorite smoky hot sauce (something with chipotle pepper is fucking delicious)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 cloves of garlic

a couple shakes of black pepper

Cut of the garlic into small pieces. In a large glass mix together all the marinade ingredients. Cut the tempeh width-wise into about 1/3-1/2 inch pieces. You should end up with about 16 finger-sized pieces. Put the tempeh in a shallow container like a pie pan or some tupperware, I don’t know what kind of shit you have in your kitchen. Pour the marinade over and let the tempeh soak in that shit for about 30 minutes. It can marinate for up to an hour but if you let it go too long it can taste really fucking salty so keep your eye on the clock.

Once the tempeh has marinated for long enough heat up the oil over a medium heat in a large skillet or wok. Keep the marinade. Lay the tempeh down in one layer and cook that shit until it starts to brown, about 4-6 minutes on each side. When it starts to look a little dry in there or the tempeh feels like it might be sticking just add a couple spoonfuls of the marinade. See, aren’t you fucking glad you didn’t throw that shit away?

Once the tempeh is browned on both sides then you are ready to make a badass sandwich. I like mine with sundried tomato spread, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers (crunchy as a motherfucker) and fresh basil but you add whateverthefuck you have laying around. Fuck it, use a tortilla and make it a wrap.

Enough for 4 sandwiches

My favorite leg exercise on the #trx @trxtraining my trainer calls the chicken squats because your elbows are pulled back like chicken wings. 1⃣Start at a 45 degree angle facing away from the anchor 2⃣stay up on your tows and squat back into your heels so your shins are parallel to the floor 3⃣push up through your legs squeezing your butt. I do 3 sets of 15 reps along with other TRX exercises and weights.

Sleevers help plz

When did you all start exercise after surgery? I want to go back asap but don’t want to push it.

Can I go for walks within the first two weeks? When can I start smashing cardio and weights again? Ive got this awesome gym plan atm but I don’t want to loose all my fitness again

It’s always best to talk to your surgeon since every one is different. I was allowed to only walk until 4 weeks then could do more intense cardio. I couldn’t do weights until at least 6 weeks.
