Food and Activity during the Ides of March

Mid-March is a fun time of year for me. The 15th is called the Ides of March (which is supposed to be a warning, but I don't heed it!) This past week has been very enjoyable. It feels like the beginning of spring and the end of winter. Lots of changes with the weather has brought cold sunshine or unexpectedly warm, windy days. I'm looking forward to more outside activities in the coming weeks! Walking More Jill and I had an opportunity to walk outside and catch up in person! Of course we wore our Becoming Elli masks, since we are still in the end stages (hopefully) of the COVID-19 pandemic here in Ohio. I enjoyed seeing lots of birds flying while I was visiting at my...

Review of Brute Women Showdown

Review of Brute Women Showdown

Here's my review of Brute Women Showdown. I know we've talked about listening to podcasts and watching TV while on the treadmill. Cardio activities, especially indoor cardio activities, can be pretty boring. It helps to find things to occupy your mind. Last year I was doing a challenge at my gym.

A Variation on the Frittata

A Variation on the Frittata

I decided to provide you with a variation on the frittata. Chris posted her pepper frittata recipe the other day and she motivated me to cook one for my lunch. I took the opportunity to capture my version of the frittata and thought I'd share it here. Because I used a pan that could go into the oven, I decided to go ahead and throw the frittata under the broiler. I didn't have to do that but it gave everything a nicely browned topping. One of the things I love about making a frittata is that you can save the leftovers and enjoy them the next day. It keeps and reheats well. Another great thing about frittatas is that you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand....
