First things first…..SO SO GLAD you all like the Digging Deep post. Those ladies are amazing and so bold for sharing. I honor that! I think I will do another post next week with hearts unveiled. I have a few more that I’d like to share. So if you’re still interested, send me that HEART and SOUL picture to cottercrunch (at) hotmail.
ok okay, now for the goods. Ahh yes, it’s that time of week, WEDNESDAY! Well, really Wednesday is over but you get my drift. What does that mean for the Cotter Crew? It means it’s time for some WIAW (what I ate Wednesday) and WIWW (what I worked Wednesday).
First up, a little WIAW. It’s always a pleasure to participate in this. Go see Jen at Peas and Crayons if you want the inside scoop. It’s too fun!
Okay, I am beat, literally.
Cheers to creatures and features on this Wednesday!

p.s.
Please pray for Eden and her dad right now. He is undergoing a lot of intensive treatment for his brain. She could use all the love and support right now.
oh yes, pretty dishes are my favorite! I love the colors. hehe! Hope you get to try some craw fish soon, they are delicious! Lindsay CotterNutrition Manager & Fitness [email protected] www.cottercrunch.com ________________________________
I love your noodle bowls. They look so pretty. I think pretty dishes make food so much more fun! And I believe I have never had crawfish either. Sad. I will put it on the have-to-try-list.
and I totally thought of you when writing that post! I hope all your schooling is going well. can't wait to hear all about it! Lindsay ________________________________
Oh, and I'm super jealous of your crawfish… love those little suckers!
Love the sports massage video!! I totally know some of that stuff now!!! 😀
I don't know who's face was worse, mine or the crawfish. It was an interesting meal, thats for sure! hehe. Lindsay ________________________________
ahahaha i love your FACE in those photooooooos!
ahahaha i love your FACE in those photooooooos!
ahahaha i love your FACE in those photooooooos!
what? You've never had them. There's a first for everything!! I say get you some this weekend. hehe! Lindsay ________________________________
oh my I bet GA can make a mean crawfish boil. One reason I totally love the south! haha. Lindsay ________________________________
oh what a fun neighborhood dinner! Thats such a treat in the summer time. But i have to say, so messy!!! haha. Lindsay ________________________________
Love crawfish — our neighbors have it every once in a while in the summertime and always invite us over for it. That massage looks like it would feel so good — same with foam-rolling: it hurts but feels so good!
I love those big bowl o' noodles! oh man crawfish! yum! I live in CA now but I went to school in GA and oh man..there was some good crawfish in GA! lol…i miss it..massage looks amazing. I could so use a good one right about now…take care!
I'll definitely be praying for Eden! And can you believe I have never had crawfish? I have heard wonderful things about them though! I will have to change this very soon! 🙂 Hope you have a great Friday girl!
I always joke that if I don't cry during a massage, it didn't work, and holy moly does that sound like my kind of massage
Keeping your friend and her dad in my thoughts….that GF zucchini pasta looks scrumptious, too!
It was actually from a crawfish boil but a lot of places carry them here. I know central market has a good selection. fun ,eh?! Lindsay ________________________________
Praying for your friend!And where did you get crawfish in AUSTIN!?! Where did they get it?! I've ONLY had it in South Louisiana 🙂
I.want.a.massage.right.this.minute.That's all.:)
creepy and kinda fun! But nonetheless……….delicious! Lindsay CotterNutrition Manager & Fitness [email protected] www.cottercrunch.com ________________________________
Crawfish! Fun!!!
Mmmmm, I love crawfish! 😀 And your ratatouille (?) noodle bowl looks wonderful!Poor Eden, I'm thinking of her and her dad a lot! 🙁
that would so freak me out to eat those crawfish! ah!
haha, yes and now my hamstring are MUCH BETTER! woohoo! Lindsay ________________________________
I love crawfish omg yumm o! Love the video there is seriously nothing better than someone rubbing your legs, even if your hamstrings are in a ball! Sending my thoughts to eden and her dad!
Looks delicious!Prayers being directed…:)
I know, usually we have them at crawfish boil, restaurants, etc. but someone treated us to these wonderfully cooked suckers. Lets just say our kitchen was a mess after. haha. Lindsay ________________________________
I think you deserve one too! Gotta keep those muscles workin right! Lindsay ________________________________
good pain it was. Like when you know you need to get on the foam roller, eeeek! thanks for your prayers friend. <3! Lindsay ________________________________
Sending good thoughts and positive energy to Eden!Crawfish!!! My boyfriend has been wanting to order live crawfish for a boil. Any tips? Where'd you get yours?? YUM!
all it needs are some sweet potato nuggets!;) Lindsay ________________________________
What a tasty dish!
Mmm… love the look of the noodle dish! And I really want a massage now; I think I deserve one after my run today 😉
HAHAHA oh your crawfish eating faces are HILARIOUS!! Oh that just made my day!! :DYou look in such (good!) pain in that video!! I'm dying for a massage now!! And the Hubs' commentry is so funny!! P.S. I'll pray for her! Nothing beats the power of prayer:)
The crawfish look AWESOME, I've had them, but never in the comfort of my own home. Fun!Sending waves of good thoughts to Eden and family : )
oh yes, painful but in the end, so worth it. At least thats what I tell myself during the massage, haha. Happy almost Friday friend! Lindsay ________________________________
really? Never? I think you'd like them. Kinda like crab and lobster combined. YUM!! Lindsay ________________________________
you have way too many reasons to come to austin, I think during the summer you must come visit! deal? Lindsay ________________________________
oh please do! That would be awesome. He'll get you back tip top shape in no time, for real!!! Lindsay ________________________________
oh definitely some good times! A bunch people eating food right off the table with bare hands! Gotta love that mess, haha! Lindsay ________________________________
go for it! I think we all need these more often than we think, ya know?Cheers Audrey! Lindsay CotterNutrition Manager & Fitness [email protected] www.cottercrunch.com ________________________________
yes, kinda like a mini lobster. Much smaller meat though, still delicious! Lindsay ________________________________
struggle to eat those suckers? I agree. It's hard work! But fun at the time to be with everyone. 🙂 Lindsay ________________________________
I had my first crawfish 'boil' session two weeks ago. I don't think I'll do it again. It was quite struggle for me. 🙂
That pasta dish looks heavenly. I have never had crawfish but I love lobsters – I have no idea if they are similar or not.
ahhh…. a good massage always does the trick. just watching makes me want to call and set up an appointment with my amazing massage lady for today
i love crawfish!! great eats for the linkup 🙂 massages are awesome…but so painful sometimes.
Crawfish, so yummy! We used to have a crawfish boil every year with a group of friends when I was in high school. Good times. 🙂 Also, the Szechuan Zucchini Pasta looks yummy!
mmmm crawfish!!!!!! and i will be looking for ron on april 18th and asking for the cotter special! lots of prayers to eden and dad.
Oh man, I another reason to come to Austin! Ron looks amazing and you are the cutest thing ever!
I'll definitely be praying for Eden! And the Cotter Special looks a little painful but exactly what I need right now lol, I think I'll look into getting one soon!
Thoughts and prayer to Eden and her family. I LOVE, LOVE seafood!!! I've never tried cooking those little guys though.
buurrrrrr! Its 80F here today. I couldn't imagine it snowing. Stay warm, maybe some good coffee to warm ya up! Lindsay ________________________________
Seafood = yum 🙂 I love your WIAW posts! They are always super interesting and yummy looking!!!! Hope the weather in TX is good for you.. it snowed in Pittsburgh yesterday *sigh* hahaha
My thoughts are definitely with Eden and her family right now. Dealing with stuff for the brain is really hard. I've seen it before it is just so heartbreaking. Um, the noodle bowl looks amazing! Have a great day Lindsay!
oh you should go get one!! You need it more than I do! And look for him in Boston, seriously! Thank you for praying friend. More peace for Eden, hopefully! Lindsay ________________________________
oh I would have loved to dined with you in Sweden! So amazing. And you never had a massage? Well this one is more like a beating, but in a good way. haha. I have some great GF brands of pasta that I use. my favorite is King Soba pasta. They have sweetpotato buckwheat (buckwheat is a fruit not a grain) and pumpkin pasta. Here's the link. So good!!http://www.kingsoba.com/whole-grain-noodles-organic-miso.phpalso try this link for more GF pasta ideas.http://www.glutenfreemall.com/catalog/king-soba-organic-brown-rice-wakame-glutenfree-noodles-p-1839.html Lindsay ________________________________

oh no problem friend. I am so glad you asked me! I love doing stuff like that! Let me know if she tries any. She's lucky to have you as a trainer! Lindsay ________________________________
oh thats what I need (i mean want) next. My skin needs some good therapy, eek! Lindsay ________________________________
someday we will share a trail run with our dogs and a gluten free picnic with some crawfish, hehe. Sound good? How's it all going by the way? Lindsay ________________________________
wait a minute, your the seafood queen!! and you've never had crawfish? Missy, I am surprised. I think it would actually be really good with your mushroom noodle dish! Lindsay p.s.thank you for being a prayer warrior!________________________________
i know, you might have to close your eyes and eat them. But I think you'd like them since you like shrimp. And get your butt down here for some "cotter special." I think you need it! Lindsay ________________________________
man handeled, now thats a good word for it. Your turn is next!! Lindsay ________________________________
You are too darling! I am not a seafood gal, but those noodles look DIVINE. Thanks again for your help today girl. You are the best! xoxoxo
Oh man I love crawfish so much! We used to just boil them and then just dump them on a big picnic table and everyone would just stand arond and eat and chat. It was such a great time… you're making me miss Texas so much! :)Your posts are awesome too- love reading!
Ee! Crawfish! They look like giant, scaly spiders to me. Your expression was priceless. :-)Still praying for Eden and her dad…but mostly that Eden will have peace.
I'd like to come to Austin for the Cotter special! I've actually never had a massage, but know that I'd love it!Your Szechuan pasta looks delicious…Do you have a recipe? Since going wheat-free, I haven't ventured into the world of GF pasta. What brand do you like best?Crawfish are so much fun! I have many happy memories of eating them in Sweden!
Mmmm…crawdads! =DI love your expression here with the critters.Just prayed for Eden and her dad!That massage looks fantastic! Now i want to try and find him in Boston.. But I really could use one RIGHT NOW!!! =D
Oh, that massage looked AWESOME! I think I've got some IT band syndrome going on and I'm off for some physio tomorrow–watching you get man-handled has just put me in the right frame of mind for it!
oh dear…I don't think that I could eat those! It's those little eyes…eeks! Love the Cotter Speical- when I make it to Austin I'm going to sign up for that! 😉
That still looks good…like hurts do good. I want Ron. Never tried crawfish! Even after living in Austin and loving seafood! Do they have the giant tubs of crawling live ones ate WF yet? PS- I've been praying for Eden and her family too. Such a painful moment.
Just once. Don't judge 😉
You got worked! I'm sorry –but I had to laugh at your facial expressions during the Cotter Special!!I heart seafood so much but never have had the chance to eat crawfish-mmm!
Glad you got a massage! I got a facial massage from my friend- I think i went into comatose for that hour!! too good 🙂
oh yes, so worth it! Glad you got yours too! Lindsay ________________________________
I finally cashed in one of my massages…heaven! Hope you had a great day girl! Katie 🙂

and kinda creepy too, hehe! Lindsay ________________________________
it tastes like crab and lobster combined. So delicious, but you really gotta dig into those little suckers just to get the meat. Its hard work! sheesh! Lindsay ________________________________
oh you have to tell me, whats the weirdest creature you've eaten in korea? Lindsay ________________________________
oh that sounds even better. Next time I'll bring the crawfish if you bring the blackened grouper. Sound good? We need a WIAW date for sure! Lindsay ________________________________
oh you need it!! Go for it Tiff! You work so hard. Its a well deserved beating, haha. Lindsay ________________________________
That bowl o' noodles looks tasty to me. Yes, Eden is definitely in my thoughts right now. I wish I could fly out there and just scoop her up.

Those little crawfish are cracking me up – they look so silly!Have a great night, Lindsay!
PS Just WATCHING that video made my legs hurt. Geez!
I used to like crawfish…but back when I lived in Mass, we had a MASSIVE flood (I lived near a lake) and I will never forget those bad boys crawling all over my front yard. Eugh. My dog loved them though — LOL! I saved A LOT of money on dog food for a couple of weeks there ;-)Prayers and positive thoughts for Eden and her Dad. 🙁 That is so rough.
oh i want to go crawdad fishing! Sheesh, you are just full of excitment Kristina! If only you lived in austin. 😉 Lindsay ________________________________
oh girl, you need the cotter special after your PR! I bet those muscles need some release. hehe! Lindsay ________________________________
confession: i've never had crawfish and i've only had lobster once. that last part should make me ashamed to be a new englander!
oh they were totally creepy, but delicious indeed. Thanks for praying for Eden. I feel she needs us more than ever right now! Lindsay ________________________________
Ah man, I haven't had crawdads (crawfish… crayfish… whatever) in forever! Seriously, I need to have them again.I bought some Udi's for the first time on Monday and think of you ever time I eat it.I so need one of those massages. I got one yesterday, but they just never seem to go deep enough or concentrate enough on the areas I need worked on!
Oh my goodness. The term 'hurts so good' pops into my head. Crawfish creeeeep me out. More for you though 🙂 Praying for Eden. This is the first I'm hearing of her story. I think I'm going to email you some photos. I'm scurred.
My heart is breaking for Eden right now. Truly thoughtful of you to send some more prayers and positive thoughts her way. The crawfish look creepy to me but I do bet they would taste great!
Well, you've got my heart & soul picture – I'm excited to see who else participates! 😉 Um, the Cotter Special looks like it would ROCK me. Woooof. haha
ouchie!! I have had that kind of 'body work'… I have to remember to breathe, and I've told him when I suck in my breath or make a noise, don't stop – I'll TELL you if you should stop! 🙂 hurts so good, indeed! I used to LOVE crawfish… and used to go crawdad fishin' … in the dark, with flashlights, string and pb. 🙂 I have been sending prayers and healing energy to Eden and her father… <3 and will continue to…
ya, youre right. Mental struggle for some pain, in a good way though. So good for those muscles though! And I have a feeling you'd love crawfish, but getting to the meat is quite interesting.:) Lindsay ________________________________
oh yea! seafood all around. Hope your week is going well. Love those new workouts friend! Lindsay ________________________________
That crawfish looks awesome! 😀 We had tilapia tonight!!!!! sooo good! hahaha
Loved the video! Man, that looks like it hurts….in a good kind of way! I SO need that right now. It's a mental struggle for me—I know it's good, but I know it's going to hurt a lot, so ….I procrastinate :)I've never had crawfish, but I love seafood so I'm thinking I'd be a fan. Hope your week is awesome!
yes indeed, hurt so good. But my muscles are happy now. Phew, its intense though! Lindsay ________________________________
can't beat the freshness, right? And I'm glad you feel my "pain" with the sports massages, haha! Lindsay ________________________________
I know, I'm having Dorry withdrawls already!! Hope your day went well at lulu! And glad you got a massage, well a hurt so good massage!;) Lindsay ________________________________
p.s. Billy loves crawfish!
I had the same experience/look on my face when I had my sports massage yesterday! My hamstrings – OH MY HAMSTRINGS. Hurts so good. LOL James: "He gets balls in return." You: "Healthy bites." I have something to email you in a bit. Love ya. It's been almost 48 hours since I talked to you on the phone. We'll have to change that soon! Ha.
We love our veggies pasta, in fact that was our dinner tonight… zucchini pasta 😉 We had a really good family friend who was a massage therapist, it was lovely, LOL
two things: YUMMY PASTA and YIKES that looks painful!!!!!!!! usually I think of 'massages' as nice. but they HURT
Love!! I love seeing what people eat, haha that sounds super duper creeps but it is so true. I love noodles more than anythanggg. Slurp! 🙂
kinda like crab or shrimp. It was seasoned with cayenne though, YUM!! Lindsay ________________________________
