When you’re whipping up a weeknight meal, you want the side to be as quick and easy as the main. Enter: these pesto smashed potatoes. Between the bright pesto, salty Parmesan, and crispy potatoes, this is a side dish that might just steal the whole dinner show. (Wait, is it still a side dish if you eat the entire pan’s worth? Maybe don’t answer that!)

Last week, I wrote about how mobility—the ability to move and be moved freely and easily—is not a separate facet of fitness. Rather, mobility is an expression of your fitness, and informs your moment-to-moment reality.

Day 305 Of 360

5 rounds, each for time, of:

 

2 Sled drag (20 yd. each @ BW)
10 Slam ball @ 15lb. W, 25lb. M
100 Jumprope

 

”Drag” = forward, and “Pull” = backward. Rest as needed between rounds, and work with ferocity to maintain both time and quality in each; Even when the directive is “for time”, speed is never a substitute for form.

Three years ago I lamented to my dear friend Joya Rose that I missed the chance of a lifetime to enter a pie contest in Los Angeles. She said we should create our own in our small town of Santa Barbara, and we did just that.

This was our third year running the #SBPieContest. There were 27 pies to be judged, broken out into seven categories: sweet, savory, special diet, kids, wildcard, traditional, and people’s choice. We raised about $2,000 this year, and all proceeds went to Foodbank Santa Barbara County.

We almost canceled it repeatedly, first due to the Thomas Fire (the largest fire in Southern California’s recorded history) and then to subsequent mudslides in Montecito. Our community was hurting, but we decided to carry on. These natural disasters were devastating and the effects are still being felt, with heartache and grief all around us, but people rallied together because of one thing: pie!

Slow cookers are often used by busy people who are rushing out the door and want a hot, ready-to-go meal when they return. But the slow cooker works just as well for the more leisurely paced snow day. Imagine throwing a soup together in the slow cooker upon hearing the news that you’re not going anywhere and then going about your snow-day business (which will likely involve a fair amount of shoveling and fort-building.) A few hours later, you return to the kitchen and presto! A hot lunch is ready for everyone.

So many delicious foods respond to the low-and-slow method of cooking that a slow cooker provides. Consider a spicy chicken enchilada soup, comforting maple and Dijon pot roast, or a creamy lemon dal. Cozy up and hunker in for the long haul!

We get it — chicken isn’t always the most exciting ingredient, especially when you eat it three times a week. Turning to it as a dinner option can feel more like an obligation than something you eagerly look forward to, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Think of perking things up a bit with a spicy chili and cheese stuffed chicken breast or switching over to the more flavorful chicken thigh with a recipe for grilled chicken thighs with chimichurri. Suddenly, chicken isn’t so boring anymore.
