Health and Fitness News

Welcome to the Stars Hollow Gazette‘s Health and Fitness News weekly diary. It will publish on Saturday afternoon and be open for discussion about health related issues including diet, exercise, health and health care issues, as well as, tips on what you can do when there is a medical emergency. Also an opportunity to share and exchange your favorite healthy recipes.

Questions are encouraged and I will answer to the best of my ability. If I can’t, I will try to steer you in the right direction. Naturally, I cannot give individual medical advice for personal health issues. I can give you information about medical conditions and the current treatments available.

You can now find past Health and Fitness News diaries here.

What To Cook This Week

The temperatures are steaming throughout most country. It’s Fourth of July on Wednesday. What better excuse do we have to grill and keep meals simple and cool.

Grilled Clambake with Miso-Lime Butter

All the best components of a classic summer clambake—potatoes, shrimp, corn on the cob—get an extra layer of flavor when grilled and brushed with gingery miso butter in this festive, large-format feast.

One-Skillet Steak with Spring Veg and Spicy Mustard

Sauté peas and asparagus in the rendered fat from a New York strip in this quick-and-easy one-pan dinner.

Diner-Style Western Omelet

Filled with ham, bell pepper, and onions, this diner classic is also sometimes called a “Denver Omelet.”

Chicken Salad with Apricots, Celery, and Blue Cheese

This summer-season chicken salad is a dance between sweet, creamy, and acidic flavors and tender, crunchy, and juicy ingredients. Make it in early summer when apricots are peaking and choose a fairly nonassertive blue cheese that won’t overwhelm the mix.

Southern “One-Cup” Peach Cobbler

In this cobbler recipe, the batter puffs up around the fruit, creating a cakey top and a gooey base.

Diner-Style Western Omelet

This ham, bell pepper, and onion-filled diner classic is also sometimes called a “Denver Omelet.”
