We're in the final countdown. Mere days for all the decisions, shopping and preparation. So I'll suggest a few possibilities from the BCS Greatest Hits archive. Starting today with the Main Course. Deeply delicious dishes with Calorie Counts and Glycemic Loads you'll never regret.

Fry the cauliflower. Pass the ketchup.

Manchurian Cauliflower. Might be the best Fall vegetable dish of the year. Really. You could love this even if you think you don't like cauliflower. An unusually delicious dish you'll make a hundred times if you make it once.

Sweet Potato Pie. Pizza Style. Mozzarella. No marshmallows.

Warms the heart and eases the mind of the tradition-seeking guest. Gets a smile and a sigh of relief from the one who can't bear the thought of another marshmallow-covered candied yam casserole.

Me and the pelican, we were both watchin' the tide roll away. Wastin' time. I remember it. Clearly. Must have been a Sunday. Press Play. You have a minute to waste. C'mon, it's Sunday. Whistle along with us.

When the chilling Fall rains and the freezing Winter temperatures arrive, it's time for indoor hiking. Stay on your feet for three or four hours and you'll burn somewhere between 600 and 1,000 calories. I just did this at my local museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I'll show you the Way.

Winter Squash Becomes Lasagna

November 9, 2023
Dick Sandhaus

Not spaghetti squash. Lasagna squash. Winter squash is everywhere. Totally ripe, totally fresh. Really cheap. Quick and easy to turn into a meal in a single pan. Aromatic and delicious. Melting, soft and satisfying. Low in calories. Even lower in glycemic load.

And the winner is pasta with broccoli

November 8, 2023
Dick Sandhaus

Maybe the ultimate quick, cheap-and-easy, low-glycemic, super-high-nutrition meal. Just add water. And boil. But not for too long. Cook your pasta past a minute or two past al dente and its glycemic index actually increases about thirty percent.

VOTE! Then, try talking to yourself

November 7, 2023

Your exercise dreams may come true. If you can believe this study: "Talking Yourself out of Exhaustion: The Effects of Self-Talk on Endurance Performance". Really. It appears that feeling of exhaustion is in your head, not your muscles. This is worth reading. AFTER you vote. Because you won't be able to talk yourself out of four more years of Republican catastrophes.
