Fresh Grains. A Feel-Good Summer Salad
Fresh sweet corn. Nutty, toothsome farro. Earthy, supple shiitake mushrooms. All those flavors and textures make a party in your mouth. And a complete, satisfying, beautiful and aromatic meal.
Summer Squash Lasagna
Not spaghetti squash. Lasagna squash. Because Summer squash is everywhere. Totally ripe, totally fresh. Really cheap. Quick and easy to make in advance or just in time. A meal in a single pan. Tastes great hot or cold.
Ready, Ripe, Ratatouille
When you can get eggplant, peppers, squash, fennel, scallions and tomatoes in one week's CSA farm share or trip to the Farmers Market, it's time to make ratatouille again. Make a huge pot to refrigerate and enjoy cold for the rest of the week.
Slower Peach Sundae
We got so many in our farm share I'm gonna make a pie with some. But I thought you'd like to see them like this, before I start to slice them up. Press Play. It'll make you go the Farmers Market and buy a basket. Great thing to do on a Sunday.
Slower Sunday: Sing Along
Over and over. One after another. So steady. So rhythmic. Waves are a perfect rhythm section. They never miss a beat. Nature's karaoke. You do the melody, OK? Press Play. Whistle. Hum. Sing. C'mon.
Living Room Olympics: No-Ice Skating
Your event's coming up this week. So let's practice. No skates. No ice. No mittens. No striped tights. But almost all the exercise benefits of real skating. Balance and strength.
Living Room Olympics: Luge Training
Sounds like something slow and lazy. You lie on your back on a strange sled. But then you slide around an icy track at 90 mph. You don't just lay there. You have to steer the thing. With your calf muscles. Really. Time to strengthen and stretch your calves, huh? C'mon, stand up.
