Fig Beef Picadillo What a night! Have you ever stayed up WAAYYY too late doing something useless? I know you have. Obviously I have too. It’s funny, because I used to be the guy who thought that all of that staying up late business was just silliness. “What’s the point, if […]
UPC’s Micro Greens Chicken Salad It’s been quite a while since I’ve written a post. For that I apologize. I’ve lost a bit of my “mojo” recently. Part of that is because I’ve just got too much on my plate in the real world. Of course, I simply need to […]
Looking for a delicious way to spice up your daily salads? Try out this Parsley Micro Green Salad and you just might love it!
UPC’s Slow Cooked Rib Eye Steak and Veggies Spring has been teasing us here in the NYC area. It’s playing hide-and-go-seek, or some version. It’s like it shows just enough of itself to get us to be excited, get up, and start chasing it; but it’s a much better runner […]

UPC’s After Workout Power Meal It’s been quite some time since I’ve put up an after-workout meal for you. I guess, to be fair, it’s been a while since I had one that was as good-looking, or as good tasting, as this one. Well, that’s not entirely true… The Shredded […]
Shredded Sweet Potato Salad It’s not always all about the meat. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of the meat that I eat, and it doesn’t take long for anyone reading my blog to recognize that immediately. Not only is meat delicious, it’s also the most nutrient dense […]
UPC’s Blackened Shrimp Bento Box – A Hot&Cold Lunch Salad I had a lot of fun with the Hot&Cold Salad last winter and spring. It was one of my favorite ways to give myself a great helping of greens, while still enjoying a nice hot meal. Further, there’s nothing more […]
