cabbage and onions in the instant pot

Instant Pot – Cabbage and Onion

I should start by saying I love a cabbage and onion mixture! It's been a while since I pulled out the instant pot and used it to cook anything. The other day I noticed I still had a lot of little onions and a big cabbage that had been sitting in the refrigerator since the last grocery shop. I hate it when I spend good money on fresh produce and then let it get into old produce! The flavor is always compromised. I decided to saute the onions in a bit of olive oil. They were small onions, about golf ball size, so I just peeled and cut in half before lightly sauteing. Then I rough cut the cabbage in both directions and thru it into the...

zucchini from the garden

Eating Zucchini from the Garden

I love fresh vegetables from garden, especially zucchini from the garden! It's fun to watch them grow and I don't think you can eat much more local than that. This year three little zucchini plants have really done well and I anticipate I'll be making zucchini quite a bit later this summer. I've asked some friends in the Becoming Elli group to share their recipes me with because it's easy to get too repetitious with a recipe. If you've ever grown zucchini, you probably know that it all ripens at once! Although some of the ends of my baby zucchini have been nibbled by a deer, I don't think they liked it because it wasn't gone.  The deer have really feasted on the cucumbers, but I'm hoping the...

A walk in the park

It was a Beautiful Day for a Walk in the Park

Jill and I took a walk in a nearby park yesterday morning. It was great opportunity to be able to spend some time together, catch up on things and discuss ideas for future topics and podcast guests for our Fit Strong Women Over 50 podcast. The weather was cooler than it had been lately, only around 78 degrees compared to over 90 degrees several times this past week. A nice breeze was blowing and the sun was shining! Penny and Peanut, our dogs, also enjoyed getting out and smelling the fresh air. A few weeks ago a wild windstorm came through and pushed down quite a few trees along the path in the park. We both were surprised how much damage there was and also how quickly...

Now, at 61, and about ten marathons later, she has added trail running, climbing, hiking and yoga to the mix of regular activities. "Say yes more often...

Yoga on the Beach- outside my comfort zone

During vacation I like to change up my regular routines and challenge myself to go outside my comfort zone. Last week I was on a family vacation to the beach and was enjoying all the fun of reconnecting with family, walking along the waves in the sand and swimming outside in a pool. My sister suggested we do yoga on the beach. I've watched it from afar but never signed up. In fact in years past, I may have even done a little yoga on my own, but never with the full class. It was delightful. There were definite advantages over a studio yoga class. The ocean in the morning makes a very beautiful backdrop The sand is very forgiving on the knees An 8 am class is...
