Laap (also known as Larb) is regarded as the “unofficial” national dish of Laos. It’s made with many different minced meats including duck, pork, turkey but I really love this combination of chicken and shrimp.

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 85). I’ve added new recipes from last week plus a mix of some older favorites. Have a great week!
Pictured below is The Skinnytaste Meal Planner where I plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner). Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers. If you would like to see some of the previous week’s dinner plans, click here.
Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 85)
Monday: Summer Cavatelli with Corn, Tomatoes and Zucchini
Tuesday: Greek Scallop Tacos
Wednesday: Honey Balsamic Grilled Chicken and Vegetables
Thursday: Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri with grilled corn
Friday: Seared Tuna Salad with Wasabi Butter Sauce
Saturday: Dinner Out
Sunday: Baked Chicken Parmesan with whole wheat spaghetti
In addition to feeding your beloved furry companion a high-quality food every single day, your dog could benefit from the right supplementation. Which supplements should you consider for your dog’s overall wellness and to help him age gracefully? Keep reading to learn about five of the many options out there and remember that you could always consult with your vet for personalized advice as well.
Yes, there are safe, over-the-counter, non-prescription cannabis supplements that are specifically formulated for the health of pets, including your dog. Containing high amounts of CBD, these products have therapeutic benefits, but they will not get your dog high. In fact, they are made using hemp, so they are legal and can be purchased easily. Check out Canna-Pet to learn more about these cannabis supplements and how they can help your dog with a wide range of problems from arthritis and seizures to emotional problems and more.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of essential fatty acid that your dog’s body needs to maintain the health of the heart, brain, joints, and more. If your dog suffers from skin ailments such as allergies or itchy and dry skin, he could also benefit from a high-quality omega-3 supplement that can be added easily to his meals. If you don’t want to give your dog some fish oil, there are plant-based options as well that you can try.
To ensure your dog’s digestion remains healthy and balanced, you can also supplement his diet with probiotics. These not only help support digestion but they can also help support the immune system. So, if your dog has trouble going to the bathroom or he is suffering from diarrhea, consider talking to your vet about adding high-quality canine-appropriate probiotics to his diet.
So this supplement is a little bit different because it is a homeopathic option for canines. Bach Flower Remedies can be administered according to label directions and they are safe and should not cause any side effects at all. Plus, there are a variety of remedies to choose from. For example, Rescue Remedy is ideal for dogs that are too anxious, as it could help them to relax naturally.
Older dogs, in particular, could benefit from the addition of a high-quality canine-appropriate multi-vitamin/mineral supplement. You can add this to your dog’s meals according to the product’s instructions. The goal is to fill nutritional gaps in dogs that are seniors and may not have the ability to properly break down and absorb all of the nutrients from their food.
When it comes to giving your pet any type of supplement, it is a great idea to talk to your veterinarian first. After all, your vet knows your dog best, and he or she will be able to determine if a supplement is really a good idea or not. This is especially important if your dog is taking medications for a chronic health problem.

I LOVE Athleta catalogs. The women shown are strong, athletic and diverse. They’ve always shown women paddleboarding and I honestly thought I wouldn’t have the opportunity to try it unless I were to go to the ocean. But then a friend of mine recently got her stand-up paddleboard (SUP) yoga certification (Positive Vibes SUP + Fit) and brought it to Kansas City! As soon as I saw a date and time on the schedule that I knew I could make, I signed up. Of course, there were the hesitations. What do I wear? It’s yoga. On water. I was positive …

I can proudly say that exercise has been a part of my life for a long time. Of course there have been ups and downs, but the important thing is I have stuck with it, and somewhere along the line it became an integral part of who I am. And I couldn’t be happier! But how does one keep it going? Where do you get the motivation to give up part of your day, year after year, for 39 years? Motivation Through The Decades Teens: Luckily I had a great role model. Mom wasn’t the type to let you lounge around …

I recently joined Planet Fitness. I’ve been struggling with my exercise regimen recently, so I was excited for the option to have the personal trainer there create a workout for me. The trainer and I met a few weeks ago to create my plan. We decided I’d do 2-3 days per week of cardio for 40-60 minutes. I have that covered with my weekly indoor soccer games, so that’s perfect for me. On non-cardio days, at least twice a week, I would do the strength workout he designed. I was nervous for this because I’m not used to using anything …
