TURKEY TIPS

  • Don’t be afraid of turkey!
  • Anna has perfected her turkey recipe over the years.
  • You need to dry brine the turkey.
  • If you have the first Eat Happy book, go look at the Easiest Roast Chicken recipe.
  • Take it out today. Pour salt on inside and outside and put in back in the fridge.
    • Dry brine is much easier than wet brine.
    • This cures the skin, makes it moister and more flavorful.
  • Get out a stick or two of butter with your turkey in front of you. 
    • Tuck the wings underneath. 
    • Poke a finger between skin and meat on breast, shove in pats of butter.
    • Rub the rest of your butter all over the turkey.
  • If you have anchovy paste, add a tablespoon to your butter before you shove it under the skin/rub the rest over. You can add fresh herbs too.
    • Or, put quarter of onion and some herbs in the cavity. 
  • Put turkey in oven for 30 or 45 minutes before you baste it. 
    • But make sure the roasting pan has some chicken stock in.
      • At least half a cup to coat the bottom of the pan!
  • Anna only bastes every 20 to 30 minutes.
    • She takes it fully out of the oven to do this.
  • 12 lb bird takes two and a half to three hours.
  • Check out the recipes on Anna’s website here: https://annavocino.com/nsng-low-carb-thanksgiving-round/
  • Prep in advance or have a helper for other foods.

How to Eat for the Holidays – Episode 1711

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1711 – On this Friday show, the wonderful Anna Vocino joins Vinnie to talk how to eat for the holidays, starting this podcast, eating disorders, Vinnie’s workouts, the importance of sleep, sticking to a routine, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

HOW TO EAT FOR THE HOLIDAYS

  • People who used to be addicted to sugars and grains may find the holidays a stressful time. 
  • Vinnie does truly believe it isn’t what you eat between Hanukkah/Christmas and the New Year, it’s what you eat between the New Year and the holidays that matters.
    • It IS okay to put a bit of LIL over the holidays.
      • However, don’t let yourself fall off completely.
  • Anna’s cookbooks (the Eat Happy series) include some NSNG®-friendly holiday recipes!
    • There are also pretty friendly pies and the like – they do have some sugar in them.
  • We just want you to feel good, so we’re here to tell you about NSNG® comfort foods.
  • For Thanksgiving, she has wild mushroom grain-free casserole, stuffin’ muffins, mashed cauliflower with NSNG® gravy, creamed spinach and more.
    • She has a paleo pumpkin pie, apple pie, cheesecake, and more.
  • You probably want to avoid mulled cider or wine, eggnog, and the like.
    • You CAN make an NSNG® eggnog.
    • Andy has been posting some Tuesday Tips cocktails.

VINNIE’S WORKOUTS

  • Vinnie is moving in a week.
  • He’s already planning his little gym.
  • For about two weeks, while he moves, workouts are going to be tough to fit in.
  • His moving will be some of his workout.
  • However, he needs to commit himself to waking up at 5:30 to workout, to row or bike.
    • This means going to bed early.
      • Proper sleep is incredibly important.
      • He didn’t wait until he started to move to start this routine –– he’s already begun to get in the zone before things get stressful.

Workout Bikes, Ultra Events & A Marie Update! – Episode 1669

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1669 – On this Monday show, Anna and Vinnie talk wildfires, proper hydration in crazy heat, Anna’s marinara, ultra events, good workout bikes, and more, and the two provide a Marie update!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

MARIE UPDATE

  • Vinnie is in Louisiana with his mom.
  • She broke several bones, including a shoulder and a knee.
  • He’s helping her recover with physical therapy and what not.
  • But don’t worry, she’s doing great!

ULTRA EVENTS

WORKOUT BIKES

  • When Peloton came out, they couldn’t sell any bikes.
  • Then, they doubled the price and they took off.
  • They’re good bikes to motivate people through competition and whatnot, but with subscriptions and all the extras it gets expensive.
  • You don’t need a peloton to do a bike workout.
  • Many spinners are great. Check out Schwinn.
  • You can find one for several hundred dollars on Amazon and pull up a guided ride on YouTube.
