I admit, I’m a chicken guy – I definitely prefer chicken with the right spices and/or sauce over a hamburger. (don’t get me wrong, love a steak, especially filet’s and top cut sirloins).

One word: Costco.  When you’re witnessing in the video above is frozen chicken breasts and chickpeas.. both from Costco.  When combined.. the most delicious concoction is created!

Poking holes in the chicken is a little trick that does two things:

1 – Helps cook it faster

2 – Allows the spices and juices of the chickpeas (and vegetables) to enter the depths of the chicken

All and all, super delicious.. AND did I mention: HEALTHY!

Spices are awesome because at worst, the have sodium – but they don’t have fat or carbs (the two things that make you.. well, fat).

Some spices have been proven to help you fight cancer and increase your immune system (I don’t know the details of these, yet.)

I love cooking.. it’s fun, delicious, and can be healthy at the same time!

As for ski slopes in Maryland, I don’t think there are any (are there?) – But close by in Southern PA, we find Whitetail, Liberty, and Roundtop.

Those are the 3 “sissy” slopes (as I like to call them) closest to me.. but not far away is 7 springs and Wisp, which are both good fun, but I’m not sure they are worth the drive unless you have a good group (would love to hear otherwise).

Other than the local places, let’s talk Canada and Vermont!

Tremblant was AMAZING – and I’ve been to St. Anne, but don’t remember it.  I love seeing a French speaking family or couple that is laughing at French jokes.. something about hearing people laugh in different languages is neat.

In VT you will find.. Jay Peak (Awesome glades.. and if you stay in the super 8 that’s 15 miles out from the slopes, you save mucho $$).  Also in VT is the famous Killington.  I’ve been there twice, always a blast.  It’s a huge mountain with something for everyone.

Where have you been that was memorable? (do share so I can explore recommended terrain)

I’m probably an advanced downhill skiier, but when it comes to jumping, tricks, and the park.. I’m a newbie.  Don’t get me wrong, I;ll throw a 180 (my favorite/only trick) every now and then, but grinding poles and clearing 40ft gaps is not my thing (yet?).

My ABSOLUTE favorite skiing is through the trees, or the glades as they call them.

If you know where the best glades are.. tell me NOW! (in the comment box below)

I’m going skiing tomorrow!
