How to succeed in life



Make these burgers! Probably one of the best things I've eaten in a long while. Loaded with calories especially coming from fat. not quite the best for those looking to lose bodyfat. For me on the otherhand, looking for quality fuels to power my training its great.

1lb grassfed organic beef
1lb organic venison
Feta Cheese
1 organic apple
organic mushrooms
1 organic onion

Mix these all up and fry them in hamburger patties (fry them in bacon fat if you have a fat tooth like me).

Once they were completed I put organic grass fed cheddar cheese on top, goat cheese, and organic avocado on top!

If that wasn't enough I completed the burger with friend organic cage free eggs on top.

WOW! Amazing

Pimp my pantry


Now for the cabinets and what lurks behind...

Alright Alright, the good stuff

Organic Figs, Prunes, Raisins, Cranberries
Organic Fair Trade coffee - 99% of non organic coffee products contain carcinogenic substances!
Organic Dark Chocolate
Organic Raw Walnuts
Organic Quinoa
Organic Sweet Potatoes
Organic Peanut Butter
Organic Amaranth (I think that's how you spell it?)
Organic Coconut Oil
Organic Cocoa Powder
Sea Salt

And the dark side...
Trail Mix with M and M's and other sugary temptations
Old rancid nuts - need to use these before they spoil
Canned tomatoes (the inside of the can comes off into your food, nothing healthy about eating bits of metal and teflon)
Planter's honey roasted nuts - roasted nuts tend to be less nutritious then raw and as a result of roasting the fats in these nuts tend to be rancid as well. Not to mention the sugar encrusting the outsides doesn't round out this item as an allstar.

Well, like John Berardi says, throw out the crap and you won't eat it later!
