Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot

Making Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot

My new favorite thing is making hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot. I like hard boiled eggs because they're good for a snack and can be added to a salad. I also make deviled eggs once in a while. Why do I keep posting things about using my Instant Pot? I like using it because I can walk away from it and not have to worry about something boiling over on the stove or basically paying attention to what's cooking. If you do a search on this website for Instant Pot, you'll find a number of different recipes. We also discussed this on the Fit Strong Women over 50 Podcast, Episode 112 FAQ – Ask Us Anything with Chris and Jill  It's not hard to make...

Thanksgiving Thoughts

Thanksgiving Thoughts

It seems to be a tradition that I post my Thanksgiving thoughts here. I don’t think I’ve posted every year but I’ve caught a few. As you know, this time of year is Thanksgiving here in the US. It’s a day we’re supposed to spend with family and friends, enjoy a large meal, and maybe watch football or play board games. This year we are celebrating the holiday at my house.

lava shorts

Lava Shorts Review

I’ve been using my Lava Shorts for a while now and thought I should write a review of them.  I'm not a strong swimmer but I've been trying for a while now. Lava shorts are basically wetsuit shorts. They’re made from neoprene. The point of wearing them is that they help make you more buoyant. They lift your hips to help with swimming. Since you can’t wear a wetsuit in a pool, these shorts help simulate that to help with training for open water swimming. For some reason, I blocked on the name Lava Shorts and simply called them my “floaty pants.” They do make a noticeable difference in your swimming style. I think if you’re training for a triathalon or if you have issues with keeping your...
