Slower Sunday: Detail oriented
Sometimes you lose the forest for the trees. And sometimes you just find a really great tree. You could spend the better part of a Sunday in here.
Walk on the beach, eat in town. Big Sur.
Not much town, but what a beach. Yours for the walking. One hour. Two and a half miles along a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Down a winding, unmarked trail to a really beautiful beach. Walk to the end. Get brave for a few seconds, time the waves, wade around the rocks. All yours. Happy World Ocean Day.
Maine Coast: Hike the Ocean Path Trail
A totally refreshing summer adventure hike along the Atlantic Ocean. Seven miles. Three or four hours. A little more than 1,000 calories burned. Time and space for that lobster roll at the end of the trail. Happy World ocean Day!
Green Seasonal Sandwich, Part 2: Spinach
A spinach-feta omelet on challah toast dressed with romesco sauce. Completely delicious. A meal-in-a-sandwich for ten minutes in the kitchen and less than two dollars. Not many calories. Not much Glycemic Load.
Snacking on National Trails Day
Two all-day hike's worth of fruit leather for two serious hikers who care about what they eat on the trail. 12 cents per serving. A half-apple and its Vitamin C per serving. A snack that tastes exactly like the fruit, but more intense. Tastes just as good at home.
Eggs Florentine. Pizza, no muffin.
An Italian twist on the American brunch. A strikingly healthy brunch pizza for four. Super-low calorie, zero Glycemic Load spinach and eggs on a very thin, crisp pizza crust. Looks too good to eat. And tastes Way too good not to. Happy National Egg Day!
Your Monday #20: Row, row, row yourself
Good news: all you need is frequent exercise to maintain muscle strength and mass. At any age. Today's Way comes with a simple, one-minute Way to increase your strength. This month: your upper back, shoulders and biceps.
Slower Sunday: Watchin’ the grass blow
Taller than knee-high. Sit down in the sand and it's eye-high.
Warm Brioche. Strawberry-Rhubarb Stew
You break the brioche open while it's still warm and you want to bury your nose in it. Then you coat it with the Strawberry Rhubarb Stew. When that's gone, you lick off your plate. Less than a buck for an irresistible little breakfast.
The Walk That Ate Bananas
While it's still possible, eat one before your morning walk. At the Kona Coffee and Fruit Garden, you can get a pretty good cup of coffee with it. And walk down Lower Napoopoo Road to Kealakekua Bay to swim with the spinner dolphins spiraling in and out of the water. Just for fun.
