Sweet Friend,
It was a successful birthday week!
Each of you made this week so special. And we wouldn't be able to celebrate TransFit's 4th Birthday without your dedication to supporting our mission to transform the bodies, minds, and spirits of the Athens community.
We loved seeing you sporting TransFit blue with us this week!
Each one of YOU has filled this place with encouragement, kindness, enthusiasm, and love as we have accomplished goals and inspired one another to live transformed! Stronger together!
Check out these pictures of all those who helped us celebrate!
The celebration doesn't stop. Let's remember to celebrate every day because each new day is a gift. Rejoice!
“My joy comes from the lord, not from the ease of my day. My identity is found in Him, not in what I do or say. My past will not define me, I have been forgiven, washed, set free. My future secure, by grace this is me.”
What would do without you!?
As a THANK YOU, we want to share two of our favorite recipes.

Famous Crunchy Cashew Thai Quinoa Salad
Ingredients:
¾ cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups shredded red cabbage, depending on how much crunch you like
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 cup shredded carrots
½ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup diced green onions
½ cup cashew halves or peanuts (honey-roasted is good)
Optional: 1 cup edamame or chickpeas
Fresh lime, for a bit of tang
For the dressing:
¼ cup all natural peanut butter
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
3 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos
1 tablespoon honey (use agave or pure maple syrup if vegan)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon olive oil or more sesame oil
Water to thin, if necessary
Instructions:
To cook quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups of water to a boil. Add in quinoa and bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa has absorbed all of the water. Remove from heat and fluff quinoa with fork; place in a large bowl and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. You should have a little over 2 cups of quinoa.
To make the dressing: Add peanut butter and honey or agave to a medium microwave-safe bowl; heat in the microwave for 20 seconds. Add in ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and both sesame and olive oil and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you want a thinner dressing, simply stir in a teaspoon or two of water or olive oil.
Add as much or as little dressing as you’d like to the quinoa. I always start out with a little bit of dressing and usually add more to suit my taste preferences. Alternatively, you can save the dressing for later and add when you are ready to eat; however, the flavors of the dressing usually soak into the salad so I love adding it to the quinoa first.
Next fold in red pepper, onion, cabbage, carrots, and cilantro into the quinoa. Garnish with cashews and green onions. Serve chilled or at room temperature with lime wedges, if desired.
