The supplements were given ahead of sprint interval training (SIT), which consisted of intense short cycling sessions 3 times a week. Nitrates are commonly found in green, leafy vegetables like spinach.

Who: Sarah Copeland, cookbook author and food writer; her husband, András Gipp, a furniture designer; and their two children
Where: Hurley, New York

You may recognize Sarah Copeland as the author of The Newlywed Cookbook, a must for just-married couples, or Feast, her vegetarian tome, which makes us want to give up meat entirely. After all, who needs meat when you can eat oats with plumped dried plums and lime or apple-rye pancakes?

Her name may also sound familiar if you’ve ever picked up a copy of Food Network Magazine, Real Simple, Food & Wine, Saveur, or Better Homes & Gardens. She’s developed recipes for all of them.

In short, Sarah is someone we trust implicitly when it comes to everything food-related and, as it turns out (not surprisingly), she has an equally enviable sense of style. We visited her at her home in Hurley, a tiny hamlet in the Hudson Valley, about 90 miles north of New York City, to steal a glimpse of her dreamy kitchen. Apple dumplings and triple-cream cheese were involved.

Who: Hannah Black and Carla Perez-Gallardo, owners and artist-chefs of Lil Deb’s Oasis
Where: Hudson, New York

Hannah Black is one half of the duo behind Lil Deb’s Oasis, a vibrant-hued, neon-lit restaurant in Hudson, New York. She and her partner, Carla Perez-Gallardo, are both artists, rather than classically trained chefs, who arrived at food as an outlet for their creativity — and this fact is clear from the minute you step into their fanciful spot.

I started working at the supermarket in my town when I was in high school, and continued to pick up shifts when I’d come home from college in the summer, for winter break, and (you guessed it!) Thanksgiving weekend.

Even though I’d be home for just a few days during Thanksgiving, there were two things I could count on: My jeans wouldn’t be as comfortable when I got back to school, and my boss would ask me to work a shift the day before Thanksgiving.

Pumpkin cheesecake has become a fall and winter dessert classic for good reason. The lively, familiar spices of classic pumpkin pie are balanced by the cool and creamy goodness of a New York-style cheesecake.

The combination makes each bite memorably delicious and worthy of any celebration — especially Thanksgiving.

Where I live in the Catskills, in upstate New York, there is a glut of exceptional, specialized food. And if you have a cooler and a car, I could easily fill it 10 times over. But these picks are designed to be slightly more travel-ready.

Some are edible, some are not, but they all deliver some small taste of the area I call home.

Fiona’s Green Chicken

I consider myself to be a pretty healthy eater. I rarely drink soda, I drink unsweetened coffee and tea, I bring my lunch to work, and I eat a mostly vegetable- and protein-based diet. So when my coworkers invited me try Whole30 with them to reset before the holidays, I joined them because I wanted to see if I could do it, not for any specific health reason. Would I be able to go a day without eating cheese? What about all those office cupcakes? It felt like a challenge.

Once I started doing the Whole30 program, however, I quickly realized that I had less control over my day-to-day eating habits than I previously thought.
