Chili String Beans

String beans are low in fat and offer an excellent source of protein, fiber, and complex carbs. They are also a very good source of folic acid and molybdenum, while providing significant amounts of iron, phosphorus, magnesium, manganesese, and potassium.

Due to their rich source of fiber, beans are great for lowering cholesterol. Studies have shown that the high fiber contained in beans prevents blood sugar levels form rising too rapidly after a meal, so eat up!

This is one of my favorite bean dishes. A spicy dish featuring stir fried string beans with lean ground pork, onions, red pepper and chili dressed with olive oil.

Ingredients:
• string beans
• 1/4lb lean ground pork
• 1/2 sliced red pepper
• 1 small onion
• 1 chili pepper
• chili flakes
• 1 clove garlic
• olive oil
• salt/pepper

Seeking Players

Deep sand diver seeks players interested in playing advanced 4's in the NSP tournament.

I need 1 guy and 1 girl to play both days. We plan to only have 4 players so everyone can be on court the whole time.

Msg me if interested.

NSP Tournament

Beach Volleyball is one of those sports I can never get enough of. Yep, it's that time of year again! I'll be playing in the Not So Pro beach Volleyball Tournament at Ashbridges Bay from August 18-19. In previous years I've played intermediate 6's but it's time for a change. Gonna put those newly improved volleyball skills to work and give advanced 4's a try.

I can't wait! It'll be a jam packed weekend of sun, beach volleyball, high spikes, low digs, and of course, scorpion dives.

I'm also looking forward to watching the pros play in the So Pro Tournament.

Sgt Shanahan Boot Camp :: Week 5: Holiday Pain


Another amazing boot camp workout. I pulled a muscle playing vball but i'm glad i still went. Highlights included scorpion walks, improved performance on the suicide runs, spiderman walks with a 10lb kettlebell from funk (apparently xmas came early this yr), challenging fellow boot campers, & lotsa ripitude & high fives.

My goal: sexy abs & 10% body fat
