Monday, May 09, 2011

Ingredients

     1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
     3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
     2 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4 inch thick
     4 ounces morels, halved if large, or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
     8 ounces asparagus (8-10 stalks), trimmed and sliced diagonally 1/4 inch thick, tips reserved separately
     1 cup peas, fresh or frozen (thawed)
     1 cup fava beans or lima beans, fresh or frozen (thawed)
     4 scallions, white part only, thinly sliced
     3/4 teaspoon Maldon or other flaky sea salt
     1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper, or more to taste
     3 tablespoons kosher salt
     1 pound penne pasta, preferably whole-wheat
     1/3 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
     1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
     1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
     1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese



Preparation

   1. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until barely golden, about 30 seconds. Add carrots, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sliced asparagus stalks and cook for 2 minutes, then add the asparagus tips, peas, beans and scallions. Season with sea salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until all the vegetables are just tender, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
   2. Meanwhile, bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in another large pot. Add kosher salt and pasta; cook until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes (or according to package directions). Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
   3. Add the pasta and 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water to the vegetables, stirring and tossing over medium heat to mix well. Cover, reduce heat to low, and allow to steam together for 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and a splash or two more of the reserved cooking water if necessary to loosen the sauce. Stir in the parsley, basil and mint. Serve with Parmigiano.

Another Amazing Transformation!

by: Adam Moore
Tuesday, April 26, 2011



Hi everyone! My name is Trish and I just recently finished my body makeover with MooreSkinny. It had been 3 months and I was struggling with losing my post pregnancy weight. I was busy learning how to be a first time mom and taking off the post baby weight seemed impossible!

 I met Adam Moore in a gym in Tennessee when I was laboring away on the cardio machine and he and his wife were on vacation. They were both wearing a shirt that said MooreMuscle on it; I loved the design so I asked them where I could get one. We got to talking and Adam told me about a fat burner he had just designed that was in its test phase, it was called MooreSkinny.

Even though it was still being tested I really wanted to try it. Adam sent me a bottle after their vacation and we stayed in touch over email and phone throughout the next 4 months. He wrote me a healthy diet I could stick to and walked me through my training over email.

In 4 months of taking MooreSkinny, I had not only lost the baby weight but I had gained a confidence in myself I had never had before. I feel amazing and I love being a mom! And a hot mom at that! My most heartfelt thanks go to Adam Moore and MooreSkinny!

 Sincerely,

Trish H.

Our First Transformation!

by: Marcel Lecours
Saturday, April 16, 2011


My name is Steven and I literally owe my health and my self-confidence to Adam Moore and MooreSkinny.  I am now 24 years old and I live in New York City, New York.  Almost a year ago Adam approached me and told me that he could change my life.  After a few conversations Adam convinced me that if I gave him 6 months, he could help me build a body and build a life.

During that time I was struggling with a self-confidence issue which was affecting my everyday life.  It was affecting me so much I was having trouble doing my normal tasks I needed to do to survive.  I would wake up for work and just go back to sleep.  I missed work over and over until I eventually lost my job due to “poor attitude” and “poor attendance”.
  
Having just moved out of my parent’s house after completing college, I was drowning in debt from student loans and credit cards.  Now to make matters worse I had lost my job.  I was tired all the time, really lonely and worst of all I felt like on a day to day basis I was giving up on myself.

Adam wrote a nutrition plan for me consisting of 5 healthy meals a day and a weight training plan that had me at the gym  4 – 5 times per week.  In addition he put me on a fat burner he had just designed called MooreSkinny.  Adam explained he had designed it in a specific blend to help me burn a lot of fat.

As the weeks passed by I began noticing changes in my body.  After about 3 weeks I could almost watch the changes by the day.  At 3 months I felt like I had already reinvented my physique.  I called Adam and he said “just wait”.  At the end, in just under 6 months, I had lost 37lbs of fat and gained a lot of muscle!

I owe so much to Adam and MooreSkinny.  Even writing this story is emotional for me.  To anyone who reads this that is trying to make a change, I wish you the very best and if I can change myself, anyone can.

Train hard!

Healthy Cheese Fries

by: Adam Moore
Wednesday, April 13, 2011

One of the most famous unhealthy dishes of all time turned into a healthy snack!  Combine a healthy diet and MooreSkinny and watch the fat come off!

Ingredients:
2 medium-sized turnips (about 12 oz. each), scrubbed clean
1 medium-sized russet potato (about 12 oz.), scrubbed clean
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
3 slices fat-free American cheese, torn into strips
1/2 cup fat-free chicken gravy


Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside.

Carefully cut turnips and potato into French-fry-shaped spears. Place in a single layer on the baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. If needed, use a second baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.

Bake in the oven until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, about 30 minutes, carefully flipping spears about halfway through. (The thicker the spears, the longer the bake time.)

Once cool enough to handle, transfer to a microwave-safe plate. Evenly top with strips of cheese. Microwave until cheese has just melted, about 20 seconds. Set aside.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat gravy in the microwave until hot, about 30 seconds. Give gravy a stir and serve alongside cheese fries for dipping. Enjoy!
