A Mexican Inspiration for March

Okay folks, February is over (we made it!) and it's now March - the month of change! We move the clocks forward for daylight savings, cherry blossoms adorn the city with little pink buds, and Switching Gears club members are dawning race bibs for the first time (Diva 8k race and the UBC Duathlon). Then our training camp rounds out a long winter of indoor training and lands us smack into the Easter long Weekend.

What a mouthful. And SPEAKING of mouthfuls, let's get to this month's food item of the month:  Navita's Naturals Raw Cacao Powder - Ooooooohhhhhhhh the possibilities... 

Thanks Josh and crew from Urban Fare Olympic Village, who sent me this in an email boasting the benefits of this month's item:
"Raw Cacao powder is packed with magnesium, antioxidants and other essential minerals and nutrients. The uses for it are endless"

And with that I introduce this month's inspiring recipe: Crock Pot Chicken Mole

Now, I know I said March was a month of change and moving toward warming temperatures and such, but..... Don't put away the crock pot yet. This spicy dish is gonna warm you up after those cool outdoor runs & rides plus this dish is so rock-your-mouth-spicy it'll make you sweat so bad you'll need to eat it in your bikini my friend, oh yeah - that's Spicehhhh!!!

Enjoy this dish with rice, tortillas and slaw, as a dip for chips and just about anything else you can think of that'll make you want to don your bikini, sun hat and a cold Cerveza ;)

Hasta Pronto xo
