Joy of Walking Two Dogs

Joy of Walking Two Dogs

Fit and Strong

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...

Adjusting soup on the fly

Adjusting soup on the fly

What do I mean by adjusting soup on the fly? Good question. I made a pot of vegetarian chili in the Instant Pot the other day and had it for dinner. It was not my best attempt at soup or chili. I think I put too much broth in. It was not as thick as I expect chili to be. Maybe it was because I didn’t add any meat but I’m pretty sure I’ve made vegetarian chili before and it was fine. I ate a bowl of the chili and stuck the remainders in the refrigerator. Then the next day I made a pot roast for a family dinner. I made it in the Instant Pot as well. Basically the pot roast consisted of chuck roast (beef), potatoes...
