The Cook "Dan"
My life summed up in bulletpoints...

Born and raised in Minnesota
Middle child with brothers on either side of me
Tried playing just about every sport but focused on golf and cross country running
The "vegetables" I ate growing up were white potatoes and corn
Attended Gustavus Adolphus College and played golf
Worked as a golf professional at Hazeltine National Golf Club
Stayed quasi active between running, gym, and volleyball after college
Began cooking as a way to impress "THE COACH"
It worked and we got married the in 2008
Never received any formal culinary training, learned through doing it and Alton Brown's show Good Eats
I love that food brings friends and family together
I get my inspiration for cooking by eating out at restaurants, cooking shows, and blogs
I love learning new techniques and giving some of my family recipes a healthy twist
I don't follow a specific diet, ie Paleo, but believe eating a balance of whole foods is important
I am also a Beachbody Coach, I love working out now, especially with P90X3 and Focus T25
I am a certified Nutrition Coach through Precision Nutrition
My passion is educating people on how food can heal and harm you depending on the choices you make

The Coach "Laura"
Now it's my turn....

Middle child of 5 kids
Born in Akron, IA then moved 3 times before settling in Devils Lake, ND
Was active all through high school and even into college...playing basketball and volleyball at a jr. college for 2 years
Graduated from NDSU with a degree in Business Administration and had absolutely no idea what to do with it
Stayed active after college but never loved working out until I found "Insanity" and Shaun T
Met & married "THE COOK"...but not because of his cooking skills :)
Hard work and consistency were values instilled in me by my parents and I'm so thankful for that
My PASSION: to help people realize that focusing on being HEALTHY and STRONG will change every aspect of their life
Becoming a Beachbody Coach changed my life and my outlook on what is possible
I love food but even more so, I love helping other people change their views on food. Healthy can be delicious!!
I don't follow a specific diet either...I just eat real food...with a few treats mixed in!
My faith is my #1 priority and my family/friends are a close #2
My favorite color is green
