Y’all, July is heating up to a swelter in Georgia right now following a rain-filled June. After a weekend of cooking in the heat, I’m saying no more and planning a week of low-cook meals. There will be no turning on the oven and absolutely no grilling this week.
The key to successfully avoiding the stove this week is grabbing some precooked proteins at the grocery store (you could easily avoid the extra expense by doing a little meal prep over the weekend with the air conditioning cranked to 11). Here’s what we eat when it’s too damn hot to eat.
When you’re knee-deep in peaches this summer and you’ve got their sticky juice running down to your elbows, make this recipe. It actually doesn’t call for the sweet, fleshy fruit at all — it calls for the pits, those nubby, hard-as-rock things that usually get thrown into the trash or compost pile. They might not look like much, but they hold a whole lot of flavor inside. Here, when steeped in almond milk, they transform a seemingly simple-looking glass of the non-dairy stuff into one with serious character: It’s deeper in almond flavor and just ever-so-slightly reminiscent of peaches. Drink it straight; pour it over granola, museli, and oatmeal; or use it to make a peach smoothie even peachier.
I casually set this pitcher cocktail and some ice-filled glasses out for a group of friends — bourbon-lovers (myself included) and non-bourbon-lovers alike. I didn’t give too much away about what was in the drink. Those who claimed they weren’t a fan of the brown spirit went for a second pour before the rest of us did.
That’s because this drink is so much more than whiskey — it’s fruity, gingery, and, most importantly, bubbly. These elements make it a hit among a crowd. The bourbon adds a nutty, caramel-like note to the pitcher to round it out, so truly everyone ends up being a fan. And for you, the host, did I mention this only requires three hard-working ingredients?

THINGS I’M UP TO AND INTERESTED IN
Instagram account I’m really digging: Isaac Rochell, an LA Charger who’s transformed his body and health with a ketogenic diet.
Success story I’m loving: Joe DiBernardo. Joe is a former NFL linebacker who’s using Primal health and eating principles to improve his own health, grow his health coach business, and change the lives of his clients.
Imagine your perfect summer day: You sleep in late, make your way to the beach (or lake, or pool), and spend the rest of the afternoon alternating between napping in the sun, eating hot dogs, and taking a dip.
Outside of remembering to re-slather yourself with sunscreen, there’s not a lot you have to worry about — except for that whole old adage about waiting 30 minutes to swim after you scarf down your lunch or have an ice cream cone.
What’s the deal with this theory, anyway? Where did it come from, and do you really have to worry about it?
The Fourth of July may be but a firework-studded glorious memory, but the foods of summer are still in full swing! There’s plenty of time for fire-grilled burgers, lobster rolls in served hot dog buns (of course!), and fresh, juicy watermelon.
Although many might say the perfect way to serve watermelon is just to cut yourself a wedge and dig in, there are some who can’t help but gild the lily. The trick is doing that by enhancing the watermelon’s natural sweet flavor and naturally spongy texture without competing with it. The last thing you want to do is cover up all that delicious, juicy watermelon taste. To that effect, the most popular watermelon recipe on Pinterest is firing on all cylinders. Plus, it’s a cinch to make with your kids.

Warrior Fit Testimonials
First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.
Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight.
At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does!
Thank you!! - Theresa F.
The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.
When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do.
It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished.
I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy.
