Lean Lena Lately: Personal Post

So… hello, friends 🙂

It’s been a while… I needed to take some time off this blog (well, “some time” being the entire month of January, to be precise) to get my life stuff all sorted out and to re-focus.

It’s been quite a long time since I posted anything personal on this blog as it has grown and become more of a resource website for instructors teaching TRX® and indoor cycling or Spinning®. Today’s post is personal. VERY personal. We’ll be back to our regular broadcasting after this one, but I do owe you this post so that you know what’s going on and where all this is going.

Here we go…Continue Reading

Fried Rice: How to Cook it Perfectly

Hey guys! Happy Tasty Tuesday!

Loooong time ago, I spent 3 months working as a tour guide in Thailand. Apart from hard work, partying and loads of fun, I will always remember living in this country because they had THE BEST fried rice ever! I watched them make it thousand times, and then I tried making it myself another thousand times, and still did not come quite as close to the original as I wanted to.

Anyway, today I want to share my fried rice recipe with you – it is as perfect as it gets with me, folks. The recipe for making the rice itself (before you fry it) is by my wonderful husband, and what I do with the leftovers – my own business 🙂 So, here we go!
