We're in the final countdown. Mere days for all the decisions, shopping and preparation. So I'll suggest a few possibilities from the BCS Greatest Hits archive. Starting today with the Main Course. Deeply delicious dishes with Calorie Counts and Glycemic Loads you'll never regret.

Fry the cauliflower. Pass the ketchup.

November 15, 2023

Manchurian Cauliflower. Might be the best Fall vegetable dish of the year. Really. You could love this even if you think you don't like cauliflower. An unusually delicious dish you'll make a hundred times if you make it once.

Sweet Potato Pie. Pizza Style. Mozzarella. No marshmallows.

November 14, 2023

Warms the heart and eases the mind of the tradition-seeking guest. Gets a smile and a sigh of relief from the one who can't bear the thought of another marshmallow-covered candied yam casserole.

Slower Sunday: Sittin’ on the dock

November 12, 2023

Me and the pelican, we were both watchin' the tide roll away. Wastin' time. I remember it. Clearly. Must have been a Sunday. Press Play. You have a minute to waste. C'mon, it's Sunday. Whistle along with us.

The Walk That Ate Indoors: A Seasonal Tip

November 10, 2023

When the chilling Fall rains and the freezing Winter temperatures arrive, it's time for indoor hiking. Stay on your feet for three or four hours and you'll burn somewhere between 600 and 1,000 calories. I just did this at my local museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I'll show you the Way.

Winter Squash Becomes Lasagna

November 9, 2023

Not spaghetti squash. Lasagna squash. Winter squash is everywhere. Totally ripe, totally fresh. Really cheap. Quick and easy to turn into a meal in a single pan. Aromatic and delicious. Melting, soft and satisfying. Low in calories. Even lower in glycemic load.

And the winner is pasta with broccoli

November 8, 2023

Maybe the ultimate quick, cheap-and-easy, low-glycemic, super-high-nutrition meal. Just add water. And boil. But not for too long. Cook your pasta past a minute or two past al dente and its glycemic index actually increases about thirty percent.

Chard: creamy, aromatic. Really? Really.

September 28, 2023

Super creamy. Garlic-scented. Earthier, deeper, darker than spinach. Mellow, not bitter. A luscious vegetable dish with a near zero Glycemic Load and enough Vitamins A, C and K to make this a high-powered natural nutritional supplement.
