Chili. It’s about the chile. Carne or no
Serious, real-deal chili. Deeply delicious and satisfying. Deep, broad and complex flavors. There's much more going on here than just heat. With or without carne, you just need great chile powder to make a great chili for National Chili Day.
If you can’t ripen ’em, pickle ’em.
Months to go before the tomatoes grow and ripen. Meanwhile, here's a bright, juicy, sweet stand-in. Italians call this giardiniera - things from the garden. Lightly pickled. During winter, when the garden's gone.
Choucroute Garnie or Dogs & Sauerkraut?
Here in the States, we put sauerkraut on our hot dogs. In the Alsace region of France, they put hot dogs on their sauerkraut. If you like dogs, sauerkraut and potato salad, you'll love this big, flavorful cold weather meal.
Stronger Monday: Entry Level Push-Ups
No equipment. No weights. Just you and your core muscles against gravity. These are entry level push-ups. If you're not doing them already, start with this version.
Slower Sunday: Both sides now.
I know I shouldn't get too close to the edge up here. But that's where the view is. You don't really get to see down the canyon unless you go over to the edge. Press Play. Have a slowly exciting Sunday.
Double Hot Chocolate
Have a cup of this rich, intensely delicious, spicy hot chocolate that's a low-calorie adult beverage with a Mexican accent. Super fragrant. A viscous, tongue-coating texture without milk or cream. And very healthy.
Walking On Lava
This is a magical place. Until I saw lava flow into the ocean and form land, I didn't really understand time or space. Give this walk a chance and it'll change you.
Pasta e fagioli: Soup of the Week
Hot and steamy. Aromatic. Deeply delicious. Completely satisfying. It'll make you happy. Eat very slowly or you'll eat too much of this high-protein, vegetarian complete-meal-in-a-bowl.
Winter Greens Gratin
Winter's answer to salad. Smoking hot, right out of the oven. Chard, kale, onion. Brown on top, bubbling throughout. A very green and rich-but-not-heavy gratin casserole. You'll be so happy you made it. And amazed you made it so easily.
