This dish will transport you to the Mediterranean. |
By making your own falafel from a mix or from scratch, you can bake instead of fry them. They won’t be as moist but will give you a great crunch underneath this uniquely decadent sauce. Read more

You can fool your brain to get your legs to run faster! |
These buttons can have a huge impact on your workout!
This treadmill workout isn’t fun but it is challenging and it not boring. So 2 outta 3 ain’t bad. Especially when you get results immediately.
New to running? No problem. This workout works for slow joggers or walkers too! Just adjust the speeds to your level. Reduce the length of the warm-up and tempo.
The only difference between the novice and expert is how many times you push one button.
Unfortunately, the workout needs to be on a treadmill. It’s not that you can’t accomplish this workout out on the road, but I haven’t figured out how to get the same training effect. I think I know why.
We have too much control over our mind and not enough control over our terrain outside. The treadmill belt is a mechanical authority. Don’t do what it says and it’ll spit you out. We’ll never out wit a device plugged into a wall. A treadmill is not known for unconditional love:).
There is 1 principle behind this workout. Fool your brain. Read more

The Goddess of home entertainment goes meatless! |
A vegetable metamorphosis you have to eat to believe!
If there’s one person on the planet who can prove plates full of veggies aren’t just for veg heads, it’s Martha Stewart. While far from a vegan manifesto, the title alone of her new book, meatless, can influence the masses to think outside the slaughterhouse.
Bill Clinton showed the public it’s possible to reverse illness by way of your mouth. Martha Stewart is showing the public that meatless meals can be decadent, trendy and impressive to the eye. Read more
Tangled- Parents as Disciplinarians
|
Discipline should be synonymous with teaching not punishment. |
Welcome back to my 5 part series on Parent Involvement called Tangled! (Previous posts in series here). A tricky and often messy subject worthy of controversy. In this series, I’ll try and untangle the common parenting dilemmas related to our roles as disciplinarians, mediators, teachers, coaches and therapists.
I’d like to start this discussion on common ground. It’s far too easy to jump right into the ring and debate parenting techniques, punishments, or how young is too young to leave a child home alone. The list of parenting dilemmas keeps growing as our technological universe expands.
I believe we can, we must, create a home base on stable ground from which we can tweak, turn and twist our methods to adapt to children who spend more time on Facebook and YouTube than they do building forts in the basement. Or playing outside with friends they can actually see.
Regardless of your beliefs about discipline, there are 5 fundamental needs of children that must be met to have a stable home. Read more
This is a guest post by Dr. David Kulla.
Creativity is required of all of us. We need it to do our jobs well, raise our children properly, and to create– whether writing, decorating, cooking or painting. Even if you don’t consider yourself a creative person, you still exhibit creative traits in the things you do throughout the day without even realizing it. Increasing your creativity through yoga can lead to an abundance of positive outcomes. Read more
“Ladles”- Drifter’s Chili
|
If there was a Chili's Anonymous, I'd be a lifelong member! |
Welcome to “Ladles”, an ongoing series of healthy soups, stewps and gumbos!
Given the fact I can’t draw any better than a first grader (if that), the only way I can relate to an artist staring at a bare canvas is when I stare into my pantry ready to create a new homemade chili!
I’ve been accused of having tunnel vision when I run, well… if they only could see me in the kitchen building my chili! Like a witch over her cauldron, I won’t let anybody near, let alone taste, my special potion until it has simmered and the flavors have matured over a low flame.
(My resume includes First Place Winner of the best chili of Boy Scout Troop 222! How many years ago?…..not sayin’):)

This discipline dissection is designed to help you train your own Gazoo. |
Meet Gazoo! He’s your new best friend!
Gazoo and I became acquainted when I was a child watching the Flintstones cartoon. Gazoo is a little, flying, green martian that lands on my shoulder out of nowhere. Let’s just say I’m ying and he’s yang. He talks to me in my ear. He has a PhD in annoyance. Yet I’m so grateful for the little bugger. If it weren’t for him, well, there wouldn’t be a FITskitz- that’s for sure! Here’s a brief story to show Gazoo at work. Read more

Feel free to grab a 60 oz soda next time you visit the Big Apple! |
The Case of the New York Big Gulp should become the primo example of good intentions gone wrong. Like U-TURN kinda wrong.

Whole grains and snacks are not created equal. |
In or out of the shell, one handful of edamame from the fridge will curb cravings.
