I thought I'd share my recipe for lentil soup with potatoes and spinach made in the instant pot. Chris shared with you a picture of her soup that she had when we went out for lunch. She always gets the v9 soup. I always get their lentil soup. I rarely make lentil soup but I really enjoy it. So since it's a cold wintry day today and I had the lentils in my pantry, I thought I need to make some soup. This recipe is fast to make and is easy. Ingredients 1 Tbsp olive oil One onion diced Two cloves garlic minced 1 carrot, diced 1 celery stalk diced 2 White potatoes, diced 1 16-oz package of green lentils One bay leaf Four cups of chicken stock Two cups of water 2 to 3 large handfuls of fresh spinach Salt...

I decided that I should be drinking more water and so I started logging my water consumption on my Fitbit app. Last summer, I posted about hydration guidelines so I went back and reread what I wrote. I really should listen to myself more because I had good advice there. When I first started, I realized that I wasn’t drinking nearly as much water as I thought. Drinking more water was going to take some planning. One thing I realized is that I dislike drinking water in the morning. I don’t know why but I’ve always felt that way. If I don’t start early in the day, though, I end up either being short on my goals or of drinking a lot of water right before bed. You...

One of the most common cause of injury among adults is a fall. Among "older adults" having a fall can often be life changing. You may (or may not) consider being over 50 older, but at any age, it is a smart move to avoid falls. Whether you are a woman in your 40's, 50's or 60's, a fall is not something you want to experience. Often the cause of a fall - a slip, trip or stumble -  is something simple and preventable.  Even if you haven't fallen in the last year or two, now is the time to prepare. If you have fallen, it's even more important to make sure you don't get seriously injured. We all know that It's much better to avoid...

The weather has been very overcast and damp the last few weeks here in Ohio, so I have made a point to try to focus on making colorful winter meals with my soup and salads. Some people call it eating the rainbow. It's almost like a mini hibernation feeling for me during January and I find that if I focus on having hearty soups and colorful salads,it helps to keep me eating healthy with a focus on lots of vegetables and getting protein. I also added in a seafood photo for an extra happy oomph. Here are a few of my favorite meals that I will share with you for inspiration: [caption id="attachment_6305" align="aligncenter" width="320"] Homemade chili - this is a chili with ground beef, cabbage, pork and...
