That is what American David Zabriskie is disproving as he competes in his fifth Tour de France – this time fueled by a vegan diet. My dad sent me this article from the WSJ, which I read this morning with my cup of joe. I’ve read both of Lance Armstrong’s books, so I’m familiar with the grueling bike race and all the intense, specific, calculated ways these athletes eat, drink, and transfuse blood replete themselves on the tour.

Perfect puddin’

I took my sweet time posting this recipe because I wanted it to be perfect. I wasn’t looking for anything fancy. My criteria were the following: quick low on sugar no fake sugar dessert worthy chocolate substantial In other words, I wanted something that I could whip up with ease, that would satisfy my sweet tooth, without excess sugar.

Happy Fourth!

I’m working today, but I plan to join up with Kyle and friends as soon as I’m outta the hospital. I may shower first. But it depends on how many patients poop on me today…too graphic? My bad. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane. Can you believe one year ago today I was drinking away my singledom at my bachelorette party in Las Vegas?!?!
