If the thought of crispy bacon and the pungent bite of blue cheese makes you smile with delight, then this recipe belongs in your meal plan. File it under
“pasta night” and, most importantly, nights you’re craving something really delicious and comforting but have about 30 minutes to pull dinner together. With a package of gnocchi, a few strips of bacon, some blue cheese, and a handful of spinach, this is the recipe that hits the table fast and leaves you feeling totally victorious — and full.
Consider this an excuse to stop and take an afternoon pause. This butter is meant for the 3:00 p.m. slump, when you suddenly feel the urge for a cup of tea to perk you up, but concurrently find yourself poking around for something sweet to tide you over until dinner. Grab a biscuit or scone, if you’re lucky — but a piece of toast will do just fine — and start spreading.
If you’re like me, then about half an hour before any house guests arrive you frantically run through the living and dining room, sweep any evidence of actually living in your apartment off of your surfaces, and jam all that crap into the nearest drawer/cabinet/closet to create the appearance of cleanliness. I would literally sweep clutter under a rug, if I could! Unfortunately, it would probably look lumpy under my flat-weave carpets.
While I feel like it’s working — because it does look clean; my guests say so! — the wind was taken out of my sail a little when I recently spoke with organizing and lifestyle expert Lorie Marrero, creator of The Clutter Diet. It turns out, my method is absolutely the worst way to clean before company comes over. Marrero even has a name for my kind of people: stashers.
Top a ho-hum potato chip with a little smoked salmon, crème fraîche, lemon zest, and chives, and suddenly it’s dressed to the nines, ready for one of those serious cocktail parties. These chips are so good, though, that it would be a shame to save them for such an event. Instead, invite a few friends over tonight, pop open a bottle of wine (we’ll tell you which!), and make this appetizer immediately.
Bruschetta is one of my favorite appetizers. Crusty bread, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil — what’s not to love? And while a tray of bruschetta (with a cold glass of rosé) is a delightful meal in the summertime, it’s not exactly the most well-rounded dinner.
Enter: this bruschetta chicken. It cooks right on a sheet pan, along with some garlic Parmesan potatoes, for an easy weeknight supper.
Any time I come to Louisville, I play a little game. Sit at a bar, sniff out the bourbon section, and start counting bottles. The tiniest little neighborhood bar might have about 50. Renowned whiskey bars often pour a few hundred brown-water variations.
From the bar at Harvest, a middle-sized farm-to-table eatery in the artsy NuLu (New Louisville) district, I stop counting at about 80. The bartender passes me the full list, which clocks in at over 100 bourbons — and that’s before you start counting other whiskey variations (rye, Scotch, etc.).
As a fan of fine American whiskey, I am deeply impressed. As a fan of Louisville, an oft-overlooked gem of a city, I’m both ecstatic and comforted.

Warrior Fit Testimonials
First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.
Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight.
At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does!
Thank you!! - Theresa F.
The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.
When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do.
It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished.
I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy.
