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 Weekend

Raspberry Corn Muffins

Buttermilk and honey makes these muffins impossibly tender and indescribably delicious. Whatever spring berries are popping up around you will fit right in.

Flatbread with Smoked Trout, Radishes, and Herbs

Get Friday night (or Saturday morning) started with grilled flatbread topped with thickened yogurt, store-bought smoked fish, radishes, and herbs.

Pasta with Shellfish, Squid, and Tomatoes

Squid, mussels, shrimp, and clams all make an appearance in this garlicky, tomato pasta, but you can really use whatever seafood you like.

Creamy Avocado Dip with Scallions

Scallions work well in this irresistible dish, but it was originally inspired by spring ramps, so if you can get your hands on some, use them.

Butterflied Chicken with Herbs and Cracked Olives

The genius in this recipe is in the details: a spatchcocked bird for crisper skin and even cooking, and a simple, lemony salad of torn olives and herbs for textual contrast.
