EAT
This has been a rough winter for many of our running friends. When it comes to getting out there for a run in the freezing cold, there is nothing better than a recipe that warms the soul to celebrate that accomplishment. A great Irish comfort food that we love is Shepard’s Pie. There is a great place in Disney Springs we have featured on the show before, Raglan Road, that has a delectable and meaty version of this dish.
We have featured one of our favorite cookbooks, The Healthspan Solution, on past episodes, including chatting with authors Ray Cronise and Julieanna Hever on Episodes 108 and 109 last year.
This week we made the Shepherdess Pie from the book. We review it on this episode and talk about what made it so hearty and satisfying as a Vegetarian dish.
You can get the Kindle or hardcover book at our Amazon affiliate links below. It does not cost anything additional to purchase the book through the links we list, but it does help support the show.

DRINK
We talked about a couple of favorite holiday drinks that warm the soul back on Episode 88 of our show. Mulled wine is one we typically make each year for Thanksgiving and Christmas to share with the family. It can help you celebrate a live race you’ve run this winter or help you warm up after a run in particularly harsh winter conditions.
We linked to a recipe online, but did not share our own recipe in that particular episode. This week, we feature our own recipe with an option that provides for reduced sugar.
Ingredients (Serves 6-8 cups of wine)
1 - 750 ml bottles of a favorite red wine ( we selected a barrel-aged Cabernet Sauvignon
2 oranges- zest and juice of one and the other sliced in rounds to use for garnish
8 whole cloves
4 cinnamon sticks
2 whole nutmegs
*Normally a cup of sugar and a cup of water are added to sweeten the recipe. To make a more healthful version, you can leave this out and drink it without sweetening or use agave nectar or honey to taste with each serving.
Directions
Pour wine into the instant pot or crock pot. Add the zest of the orange. Squeeze the juice of the orange into the wine and add the whole orange into the pot. Cook on low for two hours. Pour into mugs, stir in agave nectar or honey to sweeten, if desired, with a garnish of an orange slice and enjoy!
