If you Google how to roast eggplant in the air fryer, you will discover a lot of recipes. Trust me on that. I found lots of different recipes for roasting eggplant, even when I limited my search to using the Air Fryer. I asked in the Becoming Elli Facebook Group (join us there if you haven’t already!) if anyone had any good ideas on what to do with eggplant. People made many suggestions so I have ways to prepare eggplant for a while. I also checked for other eggplant recipes in this site and found one recipe that Chris posted. It sounds good too so I may add that to my list of ways to prepare eggplant. Roasted eggplant was one of the more popular suggestions so...

Maybe because it is winter time, but I'm finding I really love a winter lunch of cabbage with ground beef and onions. Does anyone else like this type of thing? The cabbages in the store have been looking really great this time of year so I find them in my cart after many of my trips to the grocery store. I may have written about cabbage with ground beef and onions in the past because it is one of my favorite winter lunches. Making cabbage for lunch easy, full of delicious fiber and pretty healthy. If I was participating in a veggie challenge, this definitely would help me meet the days veggie goal! First I slice the cabbage up, usually about a third of a nice sized head...

What’s this about rediscovering the treadmill? My treadmill certainly hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s right there in my cardio room. That’s what I now call my home gym area. My bike on a trainer and the treadmill are in one room with all my fitness toys. You know, yoga mats, dumb bells, resistance bands. I recently decided to get back into more of a regimented fitness schedule and try to have something scheduled for every day of the week, even if it’s rest day. Currently, I am going to the gym to meet with a trainer twice a week. I’m going to have to write a separate post about that experience! Those two days are accounted for. Then I added one bike day. Since I started this...

Each year when I pick 3 focus words to focus my efforts, I look for words that I believe with inspire me and improve my life. Jill and I discussed our three words recently in podcast episode 98. You can click here to listen to the Fit Strong Women Over 50 podcast episode. This year my 3 focus words are: 1) Cue - As in the beginning step of a habit.

The key is understanding the pattern before trying to adjust the outcomes. It starts with the cue. The cue might be the...

We both agree that new year's resolutions can be easily discarded. Instead, we chose to focus on a keyword that helps us to remember our intentions for the year. While making new year's resolutions isn't a bad idea, sometimes outside forces can derail the best intentions. For example changes in social setting with the recent pandemic has required changes to regular, normal lifestyles. By having three words, Chris and Jill will have an overarching focus that doesn't rely...

Beef Bone Broth

Making Beef Bone Broth

I made beef bone broth yesterday using the bones left over from the roast I served on Christmas Day. The roast was from a local butcher with pastured raised beef, so it was delicious though expensive. I had several bones left over and hated to just throw them away, so I decided to make some bone broth. The last time I made beef bone broth was several years ago. I used my slow cooker to make it. The problem with the slow cooker was that it was indeed slow. I had to let it cook for over twelve hours to get the most nutrients out of the bones. This time I decided to make the beef bone broth using my Instant Pot. I did a little online...
