HAPPY WEDNESDAY!! These are my long teaching days, and I am finding I love them! I teach cycle and yoga (back to back) with a little break before I head to another location to finish the day teaching yin. The more classes I teach, the happier I seem to be. And as weird as it may sound, (knock on wood) my back hasn't been bothering me at all. Since the last back surgery, I have experienced some degree of pain daily. Usually it's just achey and tight when I first get up in the morning, and I would start moving around, it was loosen up and not bother me so much. It just occurred to me a week or so ago that my back hasn't even been bothering in the morning. Weird, until I saw an article recently

So the last two days have been in the upper 90's, and we have even hit 100 here in Arizona. Welcome "Spring"! We've just turned our air conditioning on here, so I am writing this with a hoodie on, since my husband likes to duplicate the weather in Northern Alberta in February. Spring means its officially the start of grilling season in the East, and north - and anywhere where it dips below 50 at any time of the year. The recipe I am sharing with you today was originally titled "Spring Chicken" but I thought that was deceiving, since we make it throughout the year.

The week after a long weekend is always the hardest to get through. It's a shorter week, but most of us still need to fit in the same amount of stuff. Makes for a super busy week. My to-do list this week included buying a new pair of running shoes! Last week, I made my first attempt to run since back surgery #2, kept it slow and all went well! No back pain! YAY! I thought I ran at a slow pace before I hurt myself, well, now I am even slower. It's more of a slow jog. Maybe a fast walk... Another milestone in the bank!

Memorial Day is fast approaching, and that normally means it's officially summer! Of course, technically, summer doesn't start until June 21st on the calendar, but thats just semantics to me. We've had a pretty mild spring in Arizona (knocks on wood) this year, and have only seen a few 100 degree days so far and Memorial Day weekend is looking to remain less than 100 degrees!! I'm looking forward to being able to hang out outside and get some work done in the garage before the temperature rise!! I know it's coming. In light of Memorial Day being the traditional day we kick off the barbecue season in climates that experience seasons other than spring and summer, I wanted to share one of my favorite summer recipes - Berry Cherry Spicy Barbecue Chicken. This sauce is sweet, wth a hint of spice and smokiness that just yells summer. I highly recommend serving it along side cole slaw with a vinegar-based dressing and maybe some grilled corn on the cob! YUM!
