This egg dish is inspired by a craving for a Greek soup, avgolemono, which is thickened with eggs and flavored with lemon. When I realized what I wanted more than soup was the soft eggs, flecked with dill and lemon and flavored with lean ground beef, I couldn’t wait to serve this up.

We’ve all heard the funny saying “desserts is stressed spelled backwards” right? Unfortunately when we start feeling overwhelmed, it’s easy to head straight to the fridge for some temporary relief.

I decided to pick techniques that included ingredients easily found in my pantry. And, I … continued…

So in honor of Garlic Day, here’s a recipe using an entire head of garlic, roasted until it is smooth and sweet-tasting. Mix it with just a touch of butter, plenty of herbs, and you get one great garlic pesto. … continued…
Last month we busted 5 popular fitness myths … here are 5 more! 1. Fat can turn into muscle, and vice versa. Muscle cells and fat cells are completely different and separate things within the body. Each of them can increase and decrease in size, but these changes happen independently. It is physiologically impossible for fat to turn into muscle or muscle to turn into fat. 2. You need to drink a sports drink after a workout to rehydrate and … continued…
Now that it is officially spring (not to mention that April 8th – 14th is Garden Week), it’s time to start planning. There is something so exhilarating to me about planning my garden and this year I want to get started early. I am in love with Pinterest as I assume the rest of the world is too, right?! I found a great site there – www.sproutrobot.com – to figure out the best time for planting. All you do is … continued…
