Nourished Living by Dietician Kelly Hamlin MA,RD, CDN

Scaring up an actual cure for the lunchtime blues

So, what are you having for lunch today? If it’s something that you are not particularly excited about, here are some easy tips for packing a yummy and healthy mid-day meal that you can look forward to.

Transform last night’s dinner leftovers into today’s lunch. Leftover meat adds protein to a salad filled with veggies.

Include some extras such as Craisins, walnuts, seeds, etc.

When you include lower fat cheeses and meats, you will have a nutritionally packed, visually appealing and very tasty lunch.

Add a piece of multigrain bread or some multigrain crackers to round out the meal.

When choosing salad dressings, go for the lower fat vs. fat free varieties. Continue reading →

Growing up Adirondack by Mitch Lee

Young carpenter builds memories on blustery fall day

I was in fourth grade when I began to take an interest in building things out of the bits of leftover wood I found in my father’s workshop.

It was a late October day and the sky was spitting icy sheets of rain. My father had built a fire in the old camp stove in his shop.

Smoke belched from it from time to time as the winds shifted outside. Continue reading →

Just Call me Mrs. Lucky by Jan from Woodgate

The Rites and Rituals of Modern Day Hunters

Here it is… the beginning of Hunting Season in the north country. This differs hugely from my Connecticut brother-in-law’s “hunting,” which starts with a Fish and Game Club membership and is followed by a devoted member purchasing pheasants at a local store on their way to the hunting adventure.

They then gently scatter (or “release”) these birds over one or two acres of the game club’s property.

Rugged guys alright, with their couch potato “bird dogs” flushing out these poor crate-raised critters.

They call it hunting—I call it slaughter.

Things are a bit different in the real woods. Continue reading →

Gary Lee’s Daybreak to Twilight

Great fish stories can make memories for a lifetime

A seasoned Gary Lee

The weather has been great. I hope you were able to get out and enjoy some hiking, canoeing, hunting or fishing.

The start of muzzleloader season on Saturday (10/15) was a washout. You would have to keep your powder dry that day.

The weatherman kept saying it was going to rain at the end of the week, but all we got were a few showers and more sunshine.

I got all my Loon platforms pulled and saw a few Loons while doing it. The Loon with the fishing line is still swimming around the shores of Fourth Lake. Continue reading →
