Weekend Timestamp

Image
Good morning and happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I just wanted to share a quick recap with some “timestamps” from ours. Here we go! SATURDAY 9:53 AM : Partner workout at Salt Shack CrossFit complete! It was a good one for sure. My partner and I split up the reps evenly. And, whoa, my shoulders are sore from the rope climbs. I haven’t done them in awhile! 10:20 AM : Donut date with my favorite little buddy at Coffee Shack. I look forward to our “no-nut” dates so much. 10:37 AM : Grocery shopping with Qman. We scored the super cool car shopping cart! 🙂 10:48 AM : Eggnog?! No, no, no. I love eggnog, but it’s wayyyyyyy too soon. 2:53 PM : A woodpecker paid us a visit. Ugh. I’ve heard they can be really destructive. If you have any advice for dealing with them, please send it our way! 4:36 PM : We head to our friends’ house for a “fall fun” get-together. 5:22 PM : Wine time for the moms! 5:49 PM : Pizza time! 6:01 PM : Bonfire time! 6:25 PM :

Q&A with Chef Virginia Willis, Author of Lighten Up, Y’all

Image
Think Southern food can’t be lightened up? Think again! I had the opportunity to speak with Chef Virginia Willis about her James Beard Award-winning cookbook Lighten Up, Y’all. She was kind enough to share her tips for lightening up traditional Southern foods like biscuits, as well as her recipe for Vegetable Corn Bread. Can traditional Southern foods be lightened up and still taste good? Virginia Willis: Yes and yes! First, and foremost, I want to say that all traditional Southern foods aren’t unhealthy. We’re a vegetable-based cuisine and have a 12-month growing season. And, yes, I admit we’re most famous for fried chicken, cornbread and overcooked vegetables. My answer to that is: When you have fried chicken, have really good fried chicken, hold out for the good stuff  — and take a walk afterwards. There are tons of great vegetable recipes, and whole-grain cornbread isn’t unhealthy. I suggest backing off on the fat and amping up the nutrition. What are three of your top tips f
