Eggplant Parmigiana takes a bit of time to prepare, but it’s all worth it. You can choose to buy your tomato sauce in the grocery or make one on your own. Just follow recipes online and remember to salt the eggplant rounds to remove the bitter flavor and excess moisture. 

Grilled cheese sandwiches are common snacks that take no time to prepare. Add a twist to this classic by adding caramelized onions. Combine the sweet taste of caramelized onions with aged cheddar cheese, and make sure to serve this with a bowl of tomato soup to round things up. 

If you have spare potatoes and cheese just sitting to be eaten, how about making some amazing cheesy potatoes au gratin? While this recipe requires an oven, it can fully utilize cheeses like Havarti, Gouda, and Cheddar. 

Mozzarella Gratin is a great dip for a variety of breads. Combining melted buffalo cheese, honey, and capers results in a sweet, briny flavour. Top it off with bread crumb toppings and you’re good to go.

Stay Healthy By Playing Golf

Image
Image source: amarillomagonline.com Golf may not seem like a sport that builds muscles and raises endurance and stamina. It may not improve a person’s physique the same way boxing does, or even football or basketball. It may not be as physically demanding as Greco-Roman wrestling or going through a triathlon. But there are definite health benefits to be reaped from the beautiful sport, though they may not be obvious at the get go. Take for instance your respiratory health. All that fresh air that occupies the greens can only be good for your breathing. Your lungs will be more than grateful for a few hours in the open. Couple this with the serene surroundings and you have a place that’s perpetually stress-relieving. That in itself is worth the price of admission if you ask me. Image source: justjared.com As we mentioned earlier, golf may not be track and field, but you do need to do an insane amount of walking. That’s a very good thing, especially for peop...

Avoid golf injuries with these expert tips

Image
Golf seems like a mild, gentle game, does it not? And in many ways it is. However, don’t let that fool you into thinking that you can’t get hurt playing golf. Just because no one’s around to hit or block you, it doesn’t mean you can’t get injured. Perhaps, the best comparison we can think of is working out in the gym. While you’re alone doing your thing, you can still hurt yourself. That’s how it is with golf. Image source: shipsticks.com Let’s take a look at how to avoid injuries while playing this beautiful game. Posture As with many sports, good posture is the foundation of golf. You’ll spend hours trying to hit a ball on the ground with a club. In doing so, you’ll be putting a lot of stress on your back – from your neck all the way down to just above your glutes. A lot of new golfers complain about back pain after a long day of golf. To prevent this, golfers have to practice perfect posture and form. Image source: shipsticks.com Exercise When...
