Exercise and fitness routines can also fall into the “trendy” category, but Darren says they don’t force current trends when not necessary.

“We do enjoy incorporating new fitness trends and styles when applicable, but we always maintain the timeless ideology of customizing workouts for the specific client,” he says. “Clients are also given guidance and direction so that each movement and exercise they perform can provide the most benefit.

“Everyone has their own idea of what being fit feels and looks like to them, and everyone has different reasons for wanting to be or become fit. When clients walk into our studio, they will immediately sense an extraordinary level of experience and extreme focus,” he says. “One can confidently and safely begin a program in our studio, knowing that their exact fitness plan will be crafted and structured with only one person in mind. Whether you're an athlete, seasonal exerciser, or never set foot in a gym, The Set will partner with you to achieve long-term, life-changing results.”

Pan-Seared Chicken WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS OVER MASHED CAULIFLOWER

BY JUDY BEAUDIN OF SCRUMPTIOUS CATERING JUDY BEAUDIN OF SCRUMPTIOUS CATERING CREATED THIS DISH WITH THE GOAL TO SATISFY WARM WINTER CRAVINGS BUT WITH A FOCUS ON MAXIMIZING HEALTHY, FRESH INGREDIENTS AND ELIMINATING THE REFINED CARBOHYDRATES THAT CAN CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN. "Don’t be intimidated by the multiple components," she says. "Each is very easy and quick to prepare, and dinner can be on the table in about an hour from the time you start cooking."

INGREDIENTS 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon butter Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 8-ounce packages baby portobello mushrooms or a mix of portobello and shitake mushrooms 1 clove garlic, minced 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons butter MASHED CAULIFLOWER 1 large head cauliflower, cored and florets chopped into small pieces 1⁄2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 3 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups water 3 tablespoons heavy cream CARAMELIZED ONIONS 2 red onions, sliced into 1⁄4-inch strips 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar LOCAL PRODUCTS USED Dairy cream from Hatcher Family Dairy in College Grove Thyme from Bloomsbury Farm in Smyrna Fresh portobello mushrooms from Loudon 28

Brentwood Lifestyle | January 2018

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Allow chicken breasts to come to room temperature. Sprinkle kosher salt and pepper on each side.

2. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add olive oil and butter, swirling to coat pan. Turn heat to medium-highh and add chicken breasts to pan.

Cook for about 4 minutes, or until chicken releases without sticking, and the bottom side is browned. Flip and cook other side for 3-4 minutes to brown.

3. Reserving 2 tablespoons drippings in pan, drain pan and move chicken breasts to a rimmed baking sheet. Place in preheated oven. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until internal temperature is 160 F when tested with a meat thermometer. Cover pan with foil and set aside until time to serve.

4. While chicken is cooking, add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to drippings in pan. Turn heat to medium and add minced garlic. Stir for 1 minute, loosening browned bits on the bottom of the pan.

Add mushrooms and salt. Continue to stir and cook for about 8 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and mushrooms are tender and browned. Stir in fresh chopped thyme and stir for 1 minute.

DIRECTIONS FOR MASHED CAULIFLOWER 1. In a medium stock pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower pieces and saute for about 5 minutes.

Add salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium heat. Cover and cook until cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes.

2. Drain the cauliflower, leaving about 2 tablespoons cooking water in the pot. Add 3 tablespoons heavy cream. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.

DIRECTIONS FOR CARAMELIZED ONIONS 1. In a wide-bottom saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add onions and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Saute for 3-5 minutes to “sweat” the onions. Once they begin to soften and become translucent, increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook, stirring often, for about 20 minutes or until onions are a rich brown color. Add brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. Stir to blend and cook for 1-2 additional minutes.

TO SERVE 1. Spoon mashed cauliflower onto a serving plate. Top with a chicken breast, then layer caramelized onions and mushrooms over the chicken.

2. Garnish with a fresh thyme sprig and serve by a cozy fire!

F I T NE S S I NSI G H T S JOHN HUMBLE OF HUMBLE FITNESS

FITNESS EXPERT JOHN HUMBLE HAS WON NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN POWERLIFTING, OLYMPIC LIFTING AND BODYBUILDING. For nearly four decades he’s used his expertise to help others get in shape and stay that way. Today, at his private studio in Maryland Farms in Brentwood, he offers personal training to people of all ages but specializes in helping teen athletes and people over 50.

He says when it comes to getting in shape resistance training is key.

“I start out the morning with a quart of chocolate milk and two Pop-Tarts. And then, because I love it—but I only do it on Saturdays–I drink a quart of Cherry Coke.”

“I work out six days a week, and I eat right those six days a week, but when Saturday comes I don’t work out,” he says.

“One of the best things that ever happened to me was back in the day I met a fellow who became my mentor," John says. "He told me to stick with resistance training and never quit doing it because everything that happens to your body happens through muscle tissue. It’s as simple as that. He was my friend and mentor until he was 96 years old and passed away from pneumonia. That was Jack Lallane.”

He says eating healthy and working out doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some of your favorite foods once in a while.

John says it’s never too early or too late to build muscles and get stronger.

“I’ve got a couple of guys I’m training in their late 70s. It’s incredible that they can double their strength with the weights they’re using on my machines," he says. "And how can my 11-year old son lift more 34

John says people who don’t take a cheat day now and then will end up crashing, then bingeing, which often makes it harder to get back on their workout schedule and healthy eating regimen.
