I recently received a few client messages that share a common theme: “I started out great, then the first weekend hit & I blew it.” “My mornings are fine & then I’m out of control when I come home from work.” “I don’t know if I can stay motivated.” The common thread here isn’t about
Oh, the joys of summer produce! Tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash & basil…loads of basil! Here’s a wonderfully easy (and SO delish) recipe for summer squash. While this one uses yellow squash, you could certainly sub in zucchini, Pattypan or crookneck. It’s zesty, garlicy, crunchy & basil-y…all in one amazing dish! 🙂 Ingredients 3 yellow squash Olive
Oh, to sleep like a baby…or a kitten (as the case may be)! Do you wish for better sleep? I know I sure do. I don’t have a sleep disorder (like insomnia or apnea), but I do find that my sleep quality is irregular – some nights it’s great, some nights it’s not. While our
Truth – I LOVE pickled things. Well…real truth…I love pickled things…EXCEPT for pickles! That’s what makes this recipe so awesome. It has all the stuff I love about pickled foods (crunchy, vinegary, tangy goodness), but it’s not pickles! And frankly, these onions & jalapenos are just so darn good on everything.

Most of us know that staying hydrated is crucial to our workout stamina & performance, & it’s even more critical when the temperatures start skyrocketing. It’s important to up your hydration game when it gets hotter than usual or when you’re working out harder or longer than usual. Many people think of water first, electrolyte
Grilling & summer – they go together like peanut butter & jelly…or gin & tonic…take your pick! 😉 Every summer I look forward to corn-on-the-cob. And my FAV way to cook it is by far the easiest – grill it, whole in the husk, don’t even shuck it first. It’s simply the best! Ingredients Corn
Mobility work – just one more thing you’re supposed to do. But do you do it? Like Calvin said in one of my favorite Calvin & Hobbes cartoons: “Who’s got that kind of time?” Well, I’ll argue that making time for mobility work is one of the best things you can do to FEEL young.
Summer & burgers just go together. But “burgers” don’t always have to mean beef. This awesome salmon version packs a healthful punch (lots o’ Omega-3’s) as well as a fabulous taste. Eat ’em by themselves or in my 40-Min (well…almost) Homemade Buns! Delish! Ingredients 1-1/2 lb boneless, skinless salmon, patted dry, cut into 2″ pieces 5 chives,
