Alyssa's Butternut Squash, Etc. Soup
Hello Friends, I toyed around with this recipe that I know is not original but I consider it my own largely because I did not measure much and generally have only a vague idea of how to replicate it. But it is yummy, so I will share to the best ability I can-adapt for taste and sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top for extra…

Fruit with calcium? It's true (says the internet)!
So, I posted two oranges to my journal and it said I consumed 170 mg of calcium and I rolled my eyes...then I thought about it...then I went to the internet and it said that many fruit have calcium in them-not least of which...oranges! Don't get me wrong, I believe that 170 for 2 oranges is an over-estimate but not by…

Go Get Em!
Someone asked me what my favorite poem is and I think it is Invictus by William Ernest Henley. As I reread it, I was reminded of how fierce it is. I believe it applies to all challenges-to the small every day ones and the overwhelming gut wrenching ones-the paths to our goals are fraught with surprising twists and turns,…

Harvard School of Public Health Talks Non-Milk Derived Calci
So, this is not a recipe, but it is a pretty great source about research conducted at Harvard that was not influenced by food lobbies that looks favorably at non-milk calcium sources. it also redid the food pyramid. Worth a look (I think)! http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/calcium-and-milk/

Black Bean Beer Chili (Alive Magazine)
WARNING: I play a bit fast a loose with spices-I found this came out a bit bland, so I added thyme, basil, dried chili peppers and oregano until I felt it tasted better. Also, the recipe calls for dry beans-I used canned beans to save lots of time. I did make the tomato stuff (you will see what I am talking about), but I…

Going Mental Triathlon Styles
A big part of triathlons are mental: Changing the "I can'ts" into "I can" and the "I cans" into "I will" and, finally, the "I wills" into "Yup, I did it and it. was. AWESOME"! What are your mental blocks and how do you overcome them?
