Occasionally I won't share things because I think they're too obvious... only to have a friend say, NO, that's not obvious. So, if this next idea is too obvious, I apologize! I've been cooking for one or two for a very very very long time in a variety of interesting cooking circumstances. All of this has led to really efficient meals almost by accident. Last night is a … [Read more...] about An Efficient Approach to Dinner for One or Two, or How to Take Full Advantage of a Giant Red Cabbage

My 34th birthday is approaching rapidly this week. In fact, I was expressing some excitement after one of my boot camp classes in that there would be a special "birthday workout" for them based around the number.

(Just ask me, ladies, it's all good - seriously, its … [Read more...] about The Fountain of Youth?!
The Golden Hour, a Kettlebell Workout, and What I Ate Yesterday…
As some of you already know, I'm not a huge fan of the sun, but I do love the time near sunset that photographers refer to as the "golden hour".

In fact, I'm considering a whole series of sunset-related videos for both of these reasons. To see … [Read more...] about The Golden Hour, a Kettlebell Workout, and What I Ate Yesterday…

Two Unlikely Subjects… Kale Chips and Lunges?!?!
Don't these sound like well-behaved topics?! Don't worry, I haven't gone off the goody-two-shoe deep end! Until recently, even though I've liked kale for a long time cooked in dishes etc, and raw baby kale for salads, I hadn't had any especially good experiences with kale chips. Especially the sort I tried to make myself in the oven a while ago which smelled horrible. … [Read more...] about Two Unlikely Subjects… Kale Chips and Lunges?!?!

It’s Not Summer Until… Plus an Interesting Kettlebell Workout
As a child in the 1980s, I formed some interesting ideas. For instance, it seemed every Summer, a pitcher would be endlessly filled with Crystal Light lemonade... with it's persistent lemon flavor, and odd bitter edge that would persist even though your cousin splashed a good gallon of chlorinated pool water at your face and right into your mouth. Seeing as I'm not into … [Read more...] about It’s Not Summer Until… Plus an Interesting Kettlebell Workout
