Fit and Strong, Food and Drink

This week I have a lot of focus on family and food. It is Thanksgiving week and I'm texting lists of food with my sisters. We are trying to figure out who is bringing what part of the meal! We're planning to have a family get together and my Mom wants all the traditional fixings. Because we skipped Thanksgiving last year, I think this year has a whole lot more to be thankful for. I'm very thankful for the vaccine. Without it, I don't think we would be gathering again this year. Even so, it will be a smaller group than in years past. I went shopping several times this past week in preparation for Thanksgiving. Most recently, When I looked into my cart, I hardly...

Fit and Strong, Product Review, Work Outs

I got a free 30 day subscription so I'm trying out the Peloton app. I don't have the Peloton bike or treadmill but my daughter-in-law suggested that I try out the exercise classes on the Peloton app or website.  The classes are led by instructors and include a wide variety. I've been trying out different ways of getting a workout so I liked the idea of trying the Peloton classes. Categories There are different categories for each class: Yoga Strength Stretching Meditation Cardio Cycling Outdoor (audio only obviously) Running Walking Tread Bootcamp Bike Bootcamp So far I have tried classes in the yoga, strength, and stretching categories.  Once you're in the different categories, the classes are then grouped by body parts such as core, quads, hamstrings, arms, etc. I...

I made a pot of vegetable soup the other day using my Instant Pot. My son and daughter-in-law were coming to visit and I wanted to have soup since it was one of the first cooler days of fall. I was rushed and just sort of threw the soup together. It wasn't bad but it was rather bland. It definitely needed some spicing up. Here's how I made the soup. I used: Onions Carrots Celery Cabbage Potatoes Chicken Can of diced tomatoes Chicken broth Because I was rushed, I didn't sauté any of the vegetables before adding the other ingredients. I decided it didn't really matter.  The Instant Pot was full, almost overly so. I cooked the soup and served it up right away when my guests...

Karese Laguerre, like many parents, suffered in silence while her children struggled with the symptoms of undiagnosed sleep and breathing issues. One visit to a pediatric dentist changed the trajectory of their lives.

With this initial training and numerous others, in a few short years she has not only resolved all her children's issues, but helped hundreds of patients, children and adults...
