Slower Sunday: Gone Wishin’
I don't fish. But if I did, this would be my favorite place. Hard to imagine a more spectacular place for it. Or a more secluded place. Press Play for a completely relaxing one-minute vacation. You'll wish you were here.
An-Apple-A-Day: Sweet, Savory, Stuffed
A Cheddar-Stuffed Baked Apple. Deep, satisfying sweetness from the apple. Earthy, slightly salty richness from the cheese. An amazingly healthy, total-satisfaction, zero-deprivation breakfast. Two minutes to prepare for baking. Fifteen minutes to jog it off.
Beautiful, easy, available. Like this.
The Burbank Trail. Along the Yokun Ridge of Lenox Mountain in Massachusetts' Berkshire Mountains. A perfect example of a green-peace-of-mind hike in a park you never heard of. 60 - 90 minutes that makes your whole day. A little more than three miles with a very gradual 500' elevation gain and 500-calorie burn.
Spinach, Ricotta & Vitamin-Filled Pepper
A compact flavor and vitamin bomb. Takes less than 5 minutes to turn 4 ingredients into a deliciously fresh, aromatic vegetable dish that's wonderful on the side or at center stage. Rich and smooth. Fresh and bright. Luscious.
Potato Salad Salsa Verde
Mellow, tart and slightly spicy at the same time. Big, rich, deep flavors to coat the season's first, fresh new potatoes. Total comfort food with a Mexican accent. Less than $5 for enough to feed four or more.
Sandwich of the Month: Edamame Baba
The Far East and the Middle East meet over a piece of really good bread. The fresh sweet pea-like flavor of the thick Edamame Puree and the smooth, smoky, garlicky Baba Ghanoush make one of the all-time great flavor combinations.
Stronger Monday: No-Lawn Mowing
No lawn. No mower. Great for lower and upper body strength and muscle tone. And a moderate intensity cardio exercise, too. Burn 100 calories in 15 minutes. Better and Free. All you need's a floor.
Slower Sunday: Let’s do a 360. Slowly.
We're cruisin' through it all like a day dream when, kinda suddenly, we stop. Because we really have to ...
Peach-Blueberry Pie. Wow
This is what summer should taste like. A light, intensely flavorful but not too sweet dessert. Pretty terrific for breakfast, too. Amazing how easily you can make this Better and Cheaper than you can buy it. 70 cents per slice.
The Walk That Ate France, Italy and Switzerland. The Tour du Mont Blanc
10 days in the French Alps, the Italian Alps and the Swiss Alps. 107 miles of calories-burning in a place where it’s pretty easy to replace those calories. Moderate your local cheese and wine consumption and see the spectacular sights while you burn way more calories than you consume.
