Featured recipe from Marilu's table * Tuscan tuna salad

Here's a main dish salad for a hot day (we've had a lot of those this summer!). It's full of flavor and loaded with protein.

You can make the salad vegan by substituting about 1 cup of gently smashed garbanzo beans for the tuna. Or use your favorite bean (we like garbanzos because they have a texture similar to tuna when they're smashed a little).

Breathe yourself to sleep

Use this breathing technique as a way to center yourself before sleep, or anytime you're under stress.

Lie in bed on your back, feet spread about a foot apart, toes falling to the outside, and arms falling to your sides about 4-5 inches from your body (if you do yoga, it's the "corpse pose").

Take a deep breath in, counting to five. Using the same pace, exhale, counting to ten. The goal is to exhale for twice as long as you inhale, but do that within your comfort zone.

Focus only on your...

Get moving * Affirmations

What do you believe?

What are your core values?

What convictions drive your behavior?

Sometimes we get caught up in what everyone else thinks – in the mass media version of truth, or the peer group version, or the parental version that was ingrained in us.

Find the convictions that drive your health.

Do you eat the food that gives you energy, or the food that everyone else is eating? Do you spend your free time watching the latest reality tv show so you can talk about it at work – or do you...

Featured recipe from Marilu's table * Rockstar red beans and rice

Hello Meatless Monday fans! Everyone who eats vegan finds themselves with rice and beans as a meal. We like this recipe because it's the rockstar version – it's amp'ed up in flavor, and has some great veggies in the sauce.

This meal takes an hour or so to prepare, but it's not "work-y." Most of the time is for allowing things to cook, and flavors to blend. You'll have plenty of time to check your email and sort through the day's mail while you're making it. Or fold some laundry. Or...
