With roast lamb at the center of your Easter table, you could go in so many directions with the dishes to serve alongside. You could keep the menu feeling classic with Parker House rolls and Hasselback potatoes — or take things in an entirely unexpected direction with braised spring radishes and a light couscous salad. So many choices!

To help make it easier for you, here are 10 of our very favorite side dishes to serve with a platter of lamb.

What about heat?/p
pI decided to explore the health benefits of acute heat exposure in the form of saunas, baths, and steam rooms for one main reason: the sauna is a near-universal human tradition, and I#8217;m always curious about those. Indigenous peoples of North America had the sweat lodge, those of Central America the temazcal. The Romans had the thermae, which they picked up and refined from the Greeks. Other famous traditions include Finnish saunas, Russian banyas, Turkish hammams, Japanese sentó (or the natural spring-fed onsen), and the Korean jjimjilbang. Are all these many billions of people across time and space sitting in heated rooms for the heck of it?/p

In any given week I do something called carb-cycling.
Throughout the week I will cycle from days where I eat a normal amount of carbs to times  where I eat zero carbs, and in between I have times where I eat low carb.
I also Front Load and Back Load my Calories
Twice a week I eat most of my calories in the beginning of the day, and twice a week I eat most of my calories at the end of the day. On the other days my calories are pretty evenly spread out throughout the day.
I eat breakfast 5 times per week, but twice a week I skip breakfast.
At least 5 times a day I eat a normal breakfast at a normal breakfast time (sometime around 7AM for me). Breakfast is normally some combination of Greek Yogurt and some fruit. But at least once a week, sometimes twice I don’t eat any […]
