Hot Fitness Tip

     

When training the neck, it is extremely important to follow good form. Carelessness with neck exercises can be much worse than with other exercises. Use smooth controlled motion at all times, don't jerk or bounce at all.

An easy exercise for neck stability, Sit on the floor, with your back and " tail " against a wall and your legs stretched out in front of you. Gently bend your head down toward your chest, keeping the back of your head in contact with the wall and your chin level (not poking out, up or down). The movement should come from the back of your neck, at the top of your spine. Return to the start position and repeat.  
  


Words of Inspiration

     

Budget your Time

There is one thing we all have in common - we all have a 24-hour day. It's how we use that time that's important!

What do you do when you can't cope with the volume of work?

You must set your priorities for your jobs. Make choices and assign one activity ahead of another. Get rid of unnecessary tasks. Budget your time carefully.

Today work smarter - not harder!

Chickpea Crepes with Spinach Mushroom Pesto

Makes: 6 servings

Nutritional Information:
Per Serving

Calories: 170 Kcal, Fat: 11 g, Carbohydrate: 15 g, Protein: 6 g, Fiber: 4 g.


Ingredients:

Crepes

  • 1 cup chickpea flour

  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary

  • 3/4 tsp. salt

  • 2 tsp. soft buttery spread, if using skillet

Filling

  • 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

  • 6 oz. Cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)

  • 1 (5 oz. box) baby spinach

  • 2 Tbsp. prepared pesto

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Directions:

  • In medium bowl, whisk chickpea flour, oil, rosemary and salt with water until mixture is smooth. Let batter sit 20-30 minutes to thicken slightly. Before cooking stir to loosen any clumps.

  • For crepes, set non-stick crepe pan over medium-high heat until drops of water flicked into pan ball up and bounce. With one hand, hold pan up at 45-degree angle. Pour 1/4 cup batter near top of pan, rotating pan as you pour so batter flows into 6-7-inch round crepe. Cook until crepe is golden on bottom, 1-2 minutes. Using large spatula, turn and cook until crepe is lightly golden on bottom, about 30 seconds.

  • Transfer crepe to large plate. Cover each crepe with wax paper. If using a regular skillet instead of non-stick crepe pan, coat hot pan with 1/2 teaspoon spread before first crepe and repeat as needed between crepes.

  • If not filling crepes immediately, cool to room temperature and cover plate with plastic wrap. Hold crepes at room temperature for up to 8 hours, refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

  • For filling, in medium skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add red peppers and cook, stirring, until onions are translucent, 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture looks wet, 5-6 minutes. Add spinach, stirring to wilt leaves. Cook, stirring often, until most of moisture has evaporated and filling is tender, 8 minutes.

  • If crepes have been made ahead, wrap them in foil and warm in 250 degrees oven, 20 minutes. To assemble crepes, in small bowl, mix pesto with 2 tablespoons warm water. Stir pesto into filling. Arrange a crepe on a plate. Spoon one-sixth filling over bottom half of each crepe, then gently fold crepe in half over filling. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling. If desired, garnish plate with some mesclun leaves and strawberries. Serve immediately.
