Where's my badge?

I've tried for years to get on a health kick, to be healthier, stronger, more mentally sound. And then, in 2023 I received a life changing gift for Valentine's Day... a Garmin watch. I had an incredible partner who knew I wanted to be healthier, but struggled to start and get into a workout routine. He committed to being my accountability partner, supported me and encouraged me to move every day, to work towards my goals. We worked on the monthly badges together, including 100,000 steps in the first 14 days of the month, 300,000 steps in the month, the special weekends that had a badge for going on a 3 mile outing, just to name a few. Needless to say, I felt seen, and also accomplished, when I crushed these feats and earned my badge. The badges don't actually do anything, just a collection. But they've motivated me to create and live a more healthy lifestyle. ...

Albania - Tave Me Presh

Now that I have room in my freezer again, I made Tave Me Presh, a traditional ground beef and leek casserole from Albania! Instead of ground beef, I used ground turkey. I also guestamated and used 1/2 teaspoon of both salt and pepper since the recipe didn't specify. This was a super easy dish to prepare and even easier cleanup!

Here it is! They come in a bunch of 3-4 stalks. Since the white parts are used for this dis...

Andorra - Escudella

I knew Andorra was a country, but that's about it! I felt the need to learn a little bit more. Andorra (full name is Principality of Andorra) is a landlocked country between Spain and France. The population is 86,600... Colorado Springs has a population of 488,644... Pueblo, CO has 111,077! So it's a super tiny country where 88% of the population live in urban areas. Forty-three percent of the population is between the ages of 25 and 54. The country has two princes, no official military (though has treaties with France and Spain for protection), no airport, and has it's own university. Now, for the food. This dish is the national dish of Andorra. I decided to make the vegetarian dish, but the carnivorous dish is... meaty! I'll put both recipes below. While cooking, I listened to traditional Andorran music . Vegetarian Escudella Serves 12 bowls, Cook time: 45 minutes 8 cups of water (can use all or part broth ...
