March Madness- Good Food, Good Results

Saturday I woke my 16 year old up early to play in his first AAU Basketball tournament. He grumbled about not getting to watch the VCU game that evening as he and the team would still be traveling. I encouraged him and said maybe one day he could be playing in March Madness vs. watching it. Now it took time but I had volunteered to make man sandwiches and brownies for the team. I made Deluxe Turkey and Havarti Cheese with Bacon Club Sandwiches in the round loaves of Hawaiian bread(see Youvegotsupper.com for recipe) and cut in wedges. They loved the sandwiches- 8 of them ate 18 wedges. But here is the rest of the story. They won the first game after eating my sandwiches in DOUBLE OT !!! Did the home-made sandwiches vs. eating fast food hamburgers give them the edge? Just 1 degree difference makes hot water boil. Haven't you noticed in these March Madness close games- so often the difference in winning or losing "boils" down to one shot or smart play? Good food brings winning results in games and in our health. And good food makes life so much more enjoyable. You are worth the extra effort! As Nike say, "Just do it"- fix more meals in your own kitchen!
