In recent years, some quite advanced sports science has become affordable for the amateur enthusiast. One recent trend I have noticed is the growth of blood lactate tests.

 

Blood lactate tests have been around for a while and can be a useful indicator of what is happening in some parts of your energy systems as you exercise – if you know what to look for and how to apply it.

Corn on the cob may start showing up in grocery stores sometime around Memorial Day, but it’s really all a tease. Tempted as I may be, I hold my distance until right around now. And it’s always worth the wait. This is the time when those ears of perfect sweet summer corn — with firm, crisp kernels — make their way to the market. And it only gets sweeter and more delicious through August and the rest of the summer.

Once you’ve had your fill of eating all that corn straight off the cob, here are 15 delicious ways to put it to use.

Primal

Chicken spaghetti is comfort food at its best and worst. It has that comforting casserole flavor that’s mild, but not bland, and a creamy, baked texture. But that’s where the goodness stops. Layers of spaghetti noodles, canned cream of mushroom soup and gooey cheese make chicken spaghetti a meal to be avoided at all costs.

But what if chicken spaghetti could be remade into a healthy casserole that tastes really similar the traditional recipe? In the case of chicken spaghetti, this means the casserole should be creamy but not taste like coconut milk, and have the texture of noodles without tasting like (spaghetti) squash. Both of these things can be achieved by using celery root.

Celery root has a neutral flavor and color. It can be turned into a creamy puree or cut into noodle-like matchsticks. In this recipe, it’s a perfect stand-in for cream of mushroom soup, the glue that binds chicken spaghetti together. It’s also a perfect stand-in for noodles.

Must cheese be forsaken entirely? It’s hard to imagine chicken spaghetti without it. If you don’t do dairy at all, then yeah, you can leave it out. But if you don’t mind a little bit of unpasteurized, aged cheddar, then this dish will taste better for it.

You might have to make this recipe to believe it – Primal chicken spaghetti really does taste like chicken spaghetti should (only better). It’s healthy and comforting. The best of both worlds.

Servings: 4

Time in the Kitchen: 1 hour

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (white and/or dark meat) (400 g)
  • 2 celery roots (about 12 oz/340 g each)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (60 ml)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided (45 g)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 cup grated unpasteurized, aged Cheddar (90 g)
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne (1.2 ml)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (1.2 ml)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 ºF/177 ºC.

Use a paring knife to trim the skin off each of the celery roots. Cut the roots into sheets 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick, trimming the sides to make squares or rectangles (keep the scraps). Then cut the sheets into noodles that are ¼” (6 mm) wide.

Celery RootCut Celery Root

Toss the celery root noodles into a pot of boiling water and cook just until fork tender, but not mushy. This should take not much more than 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Gather up all the misshapen scraps of celery root that are leftover and cut them into evenly sized pieces, so they’ll cook evenly. Toss the pieces into a pot of boiling water. Cook until very soft, then drain. Put the cooked pieces in the food processor with the chicken broth and 2 tablespoons/30 g of the butter. Puree until very smooth. Add salt to taste. Set aside.

Melt the remaining tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers and sauté a few minutes more.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, celery root noodles, onion and bell peppers, cheddar cheese, cayenne and salt. Gently stir in the celery root puree (hopefully you have close to 1 cup of puree). Add more salt as needed, so the dish has ample flavor.

Smooth the mixture out into an 8×8 square (2L/2 quart) baking dish. If you like, sprinkle another ½ cup/45 g grated cheese on top.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until warm and bubbly.

I guess I’m getting to that age now where memories loom larger than dreams. With nearly a half-century in the sport, I along with those in my age cohort often end up discussing where weightlifting has been and where it is heading in the future.

 

In case any of you younger lifters are curious, here are a few thoughts on where Olympic weightlifting has been and where it is going – from the perspective of an old-timer.
