One Little Piggy Went To Market
That was me. Could be you. That's what happens to us at a Farmers Market in mid-summer. Much too much to choose from. Gotta get a little bit of everything. Here are the Top Ten Ways to enjoy it all.
The Walk That Ate Minneapolis
The city with parks and greenways everywhere. A recent winner of the ParkScore Index. For doing the best job of meeting its citizens' needs for parks as measured by how many people are within 10-minutes of one. So how many restaurants are within 10 minutes of a great walk? Plenty.
Granola and The Price of Food
My granola is my daily reminder that Better is Cheaper when you want it that Way. It's delicious and nutritious. I make it with organic ingredients. Takes 10 minutes of effort to make a 10-day supply. And it's Cheaper than Cheerios.
Greek Goddess Dressing
Creamy without cream. Intense and distinctively Greek flavors. Yogurt infused with lemon, oregano and mint. A little olive oil. Toss some spinach in this for an instant upgrade of the Greek salad. Olives and feta cheese optional.
Ripe Now: Tomatoes & Corn
This looks, smells and tastes more like Summer than anything I can think of. For a few weeks, this is the world's best reason to spend less time in the kitchen and more time in the garden. Or the Farmers Market.
Stronger Monday: C’mon. Over your head.
It's good to be a little stronger. So it's easier to climb a steep stairway. Or a mountain. Easier to pick up packages. And put them up on a shelf - above your head. As you get older, you inevitably lose some muscle mass. But you don't have to lose muscle strength. Here's another Way to increase and maintain it.
Slower Sunday: Look. Up in the sky.
It's Sunday. Take a minute. Press Play. You don't want to do this all day, but it's real nice for a while. Everything in moderation.
The peaches are coming! And pudding!
Any day now, the perfect peach will arrive at your Farmers Market. Buy it, wash it and eat it. Nothing Better. But when you're ready for an amazingly rich but light dessert that tastes just like a peach, make this. For dessert or breakfast. Or both.
The Walk That Ate Athens
Could be an all-day 20-mile hike. A 2-mile spin around the Acropolis. Or a 6-mile stroll to the Aegean Sea. Eating traditional Greek cuisine all the Way. Whichever way you turn in Athens, it's a delicious Way to see the sights while you burn way more calories than you consume.
Tuna Tartare for lovers and doubters
For sushi eaters, a wildly flavorful Way to enjoy raw fish. For steak tartare fans, a terrific Way to replace some meat with fish in your diet. For afraid-of-raw-fish folks, could be the perfect Way to overcome fear and discover a healthy new meal.
