veggies with protein cropped

Lunch of Veggies with Protein

I had an awesome lunch over the weekend of veggies with protein. It was delicious. It seems like all the vegetables are becoming ripe and are really tasting especially good to me right now. Maybe it is just that time of year! By this photo you might think I didn't get enough protein ,but I added a couple of ingredients at the end of cooking and after I took this photo that really boosted the protein levels in my meal. Here's my recipe for these delicious veggies. No surprise, I sautéed them on the stove. To prepare this meal, first I pulled out the cutting board and a sharp knife. Heated up the pan with some extra virgin olive oil. Chopped and sliced the following veggies: Onions Peppers: red,...

Sheet Pan Veggie Soup

Loyal readers will know how much I enjoy sheet pan recipes, so this week I tried a new recipe that I'm calling Sheet Pan Veggie Soup. I'm considering this month the start of my Veggie Challenge 2023, since my garden vegetables are really in their prime! The ingredients are the left over vegetables that are getting a little tired from staying in my refrigerator. Namely, the cauliflower that was given to me by my daughter and a huge pepper from our garden. I hadn't been in the mood to eat these earlier and I wanted to use them before they got too tired. So I turned on the over to 425 degrees and lined a cookie sheet with tin foil. I chopped the cauliflower, carrots, and onion...

Keeping Flexible – Muscles, Joints, and Ligaments

It's amazing what a few of the right exercises done consistently can do for keeping flexible! Before you read any further, please know I am not a doctor or am I prescribing any medical advice. Everyone is in a different place with flexibility, so know your own body and proceed slowly if you feel resistance and stop if you feel pain. You should just feel mild tension. Recently I've been gently doing finger, hand and shoulder exercises to carefully stretch and limber up my fingers. I don't pretend to be near as flexible or nimble as this cat, but I have seen a significant improvement lately. I've been working on my hands, shoulders and neck. Too much time on my computer and working on my phone has caused...

Healhy eating during podcast conference

Healthy Eating at the Hotel for the Podcast Conference

During the recent conference I was eating at restaurants in the hotel for 5 days. How did I keep up with healthy eating choices? Healthy eating at the hotel this week has been a challenge! This past week Jill and I attended a giant podcasters' conference in Denver where we learned from the best in the industry. The conference was held at the Gaylord Rockies, a HUGE hotel with 7 different restaurants & bars with hundreds of hotel rooms.Located in the prairie outside of Aurora, it is a ten minute Uber ride from the Denver Airport and far away from any other restaurants. We were pretty much limited to the food that we could buy in the hotel and a few excursions off the hotel grounds. I realized...
