spring mix with onion, brown rice and chicken for lunch

Spring Mix, Celery, Onion, Brown Rice and Chicken for Lunch

What's your go-to on a crazy day? I love a spring mix salad with things I've already got prepped. A one bowl wonder that I am calling a salad. Maybe you do your salads differently. Please let me know! I really enjoy having a salad for lunch and today is no exception. Luckily I had food prepped for the week. I made a batch of chicken in the slow cooker. Cooked a couple of cups of brown rice to add to things. Sauteed some sweet onions. [caption id="attachment_7060" align="aligncenter" width="617"] Since everything was already prepped, I just had to assemble my salad![/caption] Easy healthy lunch. It's not hard when everything is prepped ahead of time. It's one of those crazy busy days for me....

Joy of Walking Two Dogs

Joy of Walking Two Dogs

This week I’m discovering the joy of walking TWO dogs. I think we’re all agreed that walking a dog gives you more steps but let me tell you about walking two of them. My grand-dog Stella is spending the week with Penny and me. They enjoy spending time together, which makes visiting a lot easier on all of us. Neither Penny nor Stella has great leash manners. Penny is now a 50-pound dog and Stella is 75 pounds and strong. Both dogs, in fact, are strong. Because walking both at once is a tremendous challenge, I tend to walk one dog and then the other. If they were easier to walk together, we could go to some parks for a good long hike. Unfortunately, because I can...

between salad and soup

Between Salads and Soups

I'm feeling that time of year, between salads and soups. Most people call it the equinox, when the days and the nights are about the same length. Here in the states we are moving from winter into spring. I know we have some readers and listeners who will be moving from summer into autumn, like Sue Loncaric who publishes on Living Well After 50. Jill and I interviewed her in 2021 for the Fit Strong Women Over 50 podcast. Between Salads and Soups I find that most of my vegetables end up in salads or soups, or sometimes both. I especially like soups with roasted vegetables but find that I'm adding roasted vegetables to some of my salads as well. Roasted red peppers are incredibly sweet. I also find...
