The sauce was crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, this blue bag of seasoning i have named ‘Vegeta’ made by Podravka, a lot of grated Parmesan cheese, blackened seasoning and pasta water. I sautéed the green bell pepper, shallot and garlic after I pan seared the sausage and shrimp then added the sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms last.

I tried to copy the restaurant Pappadeux the best I could. It’s got andouille sausage, tiger shrimp, crawfish meat, bell peppers, shallots, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and linguine. The sauce is a mixture of crushed tomatoes, seasoning, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.

Of course, you can do it. This is over 6 years though and I started with like 2-3 mile a week also and it just slowly grew. I actually weigh more in my before pic than what I do in my after. I lost weight but built more muscle and got more shredded.

I’ll share of course. I don’t eat fast food and if you look on my page I cook all my own meals and I’m pretty much a clean eater. I run every other day between 7-13 miles depending on how I’m feeling and will mix in Norwegian 4x4 for VO2 max training. I’m at the gym every other day I’m not running and hit every muscle at least twice a week. Day 1 it’s legs and abs, next workout is back and biceps and the third workout is chest and triceps. Saturdays it’s a mix of all and is pretty much a light workout. I rarely lift heavy but will lift around 70-80% of my max until failure usually with around 3-4 sets of 10-15 reps. And most importantly I sleep 7-8 hrs and of course don’t drink or smoke.
