Love veggies? Love eggs? Me too! I took a bag of frozen veggies, defrosted it and added it to some scrambled eggs. My big mistake? Tough to flip. Then I remembered, you can put it in the oven for a fritta. You have to have it in the right pan to start with (and the handle has to be able to "handle" the heat.) This one had a non-baking handle, so I ended up flipping it, in three sections. Not a problem for me, but I had anticipated a more beautiful finished product. Still, it tasted GREAT!! Delicious and my favorite way to add lots of vegetables into my meals!...

Review of Wild about Greens

Book Review, Fit and Strong, Food and Drink, Veggie Challenge

A friend gave me Wild about Greens by Nava Atlas a while ago. I looked through this cookbook and thought "what a nice gift" but then never really did anything with it. I do enjoy reading cookbooks though I don't always feel compelled to actually make anything from them. Since we're doing the 2021 Veggie Challenge and I'm trying to introduce some vegetables into my diet that, while not necessarily new, are foods that I don't normally eat. When it comes to greens, I'm comfortable with a variety of lettuce, spinach, and kale. I struggle with some of the other greens but I'm feeling compelled to improve my greens repertoire. That's when I remembered Wild about Greens. This cookbook has 125 recipes in it, all based on...

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day Outdoors

This year we were Celebrating St. Patrick's Day Outdoors. It was a great way to spend the day. Last year at St. Patrick's Day, we were in shutdown here in Ohio. Most everywhere was in shutdown. I remember that my friend bought my a corned beef sandwich as takeout and left it on my front porch for me to enjoy. I sat at home by myself, ate my sandwich and drank a beer. It was an odd day, for sure. This year that same friend and I went to a local restaurant to have that corned beef. The day was so beautiful and warm that we were able to sit outside, have a sandwich, and a beer, and enjoy each other's company.  What a nice way to...

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...

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. We had to do swimming, biking, and running at the same distance as an Ironman race. Fortunately, we had four to six weeks to accomplish this goal and didn't have to do an actual Ironman event. I was looking around for ways to occupy myself while riding the stationary bike and came across Brute Women Showdown, a competition hosted by Brute Strength Training.. I'm not sure about that name but I loved watching the program. It...

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....

When I'm talking about quick and easy vegetable ramen soup, I don't mean the cheap packets of ramen I used to buy for a very cheap meal. Though I suppose you could certainly use those noodles to make this soup and they would work just as well. I don't know about those packets of seasonings though. They may be a bit suspect. I bought a large package of gluten-free organic millet and brown rice ramen noodles at Costco. They're quick and easy to make and here's my take on a quick and easy soup. In one of our recent podcast episodes, Chris and I discussed this year's veggie challenge. Chris said she was cheating because she was using large bags of frozen vegetables to get in those...
