Karen Bridges had a moment of clarity that a lot of people over 50 will recognize. She was having trouble doing ordinary daily things, like working in the garden. Her balance was faltering. Her desk job kept her sedentary all day, and earlier years of being active “off and on” ended with the pandemic. “I hit a wall of reality,” the 65-year-old says. “I realized that if I didn’t change anything in my life, then nothing would change.” That mindset shift made all the difference. She found the right gym and hasn’t looked back.    Self-Limiting Beliefs Here’s something that…

This white bean stew has an Indian food twist that makes it SO flavorful! A creamy stew with sweet potatoes and mustard seed, curry leaf chili oil is hearty and satisfying dinner. (gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free option) I like to use Indian sauces with beans, as a change from tofu or a vegan chicken substitute. It makes the whole dish cook up faster and makes it more accessible. Because all of the flavor is usually in the sauces, you don’t have to pair them with meat, like in more traditional Indian dishes. In this stew, I pair Western Indian spices and…

So you want to lose weight, do you? What are you going to do differently this time? You’ve already tried cutting calories. You’ve tried the low-carb method. You followed several people on YouTube with their ideas. Yet here you are, still needing to lose weight. And it’s not because you’re lazy. It’s not because you’re undisciplined. I’ve seen great discipline, at least for a time, in many people like you trying to lose weight. It’s pretty impressive, really. They have more discipline than I do at times.  But none of those things addresses the right problem. The actual solution is…

We’re not just getting older. We’re getting happier. That’s according to the World Happiness Report, which came out last week and found that people over 45 are generally happier than people in their 20s and 30s — and the gap is widening. The researchers have been tracking this shift for years, and the picture keeps getting clearer: Older adults aren’t winding down, and they feel better about life than ever. Globally, positive emotions are more frequent among people over 60 than they were 20 years ago. We get better at filtering out negativity as we age! People who stay active,…

Grill the juiciest, tastiest chicken kabobs! The secret is in the sauce! I make a punchy chicken kabob marinade loaded with Mediterranean spices, lemon juice, and 15 cloves of garlic! Photo Credit: Suzy Karadsheh I Make These Chicken Kabobs All Summer Long When you grow up like me on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, kabobs are part of life. During the hot summer months, my go-to meals often involve grilled kabobs (or kebabs) with simple sides like Greek potato salad or sweet-meets-salty watermelon salad. (When temps are high, the less oven time the better, right?)Depending on the mood, my…

I’ve had a garden for many years now and every Spring I look forward to getting my hands back in the dirt! One of the easy vegetables you’ll often find growing in my backyard are cucumbers. They’re the perfect, refreshing side dish on warmer days, especially when they’re in this Asian cucumber salad.  Veggies don’t have to be boring when they’re covered in a flavorful (and healthy!) sauce. Some of my kids favorite sauces to dip vegetables in include homemade ranch dressing or French onion dip. This recipe offers another option to get kids (and adults) more excited to eat…
