Message From Heather: Take Our Spinning Challenge!
 Winter can be a time of slacking off on cardio - it’s not easy running or cycling in the cold and snow. We’re offering a way to beat the mid-winter doldrums with our Spinning Challenge starting this month, and continuing through March.

Between February 3 and April 3, we will keep track of who puts in the most Spinning classes, but only if you sign up by emailing me. The prize for the winner is a free locker and laundry service for a month. Every time you come in for your class, your clothes will be freshly washed and put back in your personal locker.

This is the perfect opportunity to start Spinning or ramp up your routine. Spinning can burn over 600 calories a session, and it’s a great way to strengthen your heart and work your legs.

Remember, you're only eligible if you sign up. To sign up for our Spinning Challenge, please email me at heather@viefit.com.

Recipe of the Month: Tortilla Soup with Lime Crema
 Spicy turkey sausage gives this soup a kick, but you can use chicken for the protein if you don’t like spicy. Radishes and cabbage boost the nutrition value of this soup.

Soup:
  • 3 corn tortillas
  • 1 2/3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 small white onion, chopped
  • 6 oz. fresh spicy turkey sausage
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder, such as ancho
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 14 oz. can no-salt-added tomatoes
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 6 radishes, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups cabbage, shredded
Lime Crema:
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • 1/2 lime
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  1. Preheat oven 375. To make tortilla strips, brush tortillas on 1 side with 2 teaspoons oil, then stack them and cut into very thin strips, about 2 inches long. Spread on baking sheet and bake until crispy, 12 to 15 minutes.
  2. In a large saucepan, saute onion in 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until soft. Slit sausage casings and crumble meat into pan, browning for about 3 minutes.
  3. Add oregano, chile and cumin; stir for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and their liquid, broth, and three cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and let soup stand while you prepare the crema.
  4. To make the lime crema, mix yogurt, lime juice and cilantro.
Ladle soup into 6 bowls and drizzle each with 2 teaspoons lime crema. Top with radishes and cabbage. Serves 6.
