Yogis of the Month
Diane and Steve Freebery
We joined Liberty Yoga- first time Yogis - in the Spring of 2013, after Steve had a second disk problem, after having surgery in 2011 for a "popped fragment". He had been to the surgeon for a familiar pain in his leg, same one he had prior to his surgery in 2011. He had steroid shots in his back, went for PT, and things were improving, and it looked like he was going to avoid a second surgery---until he did some strenuous moving of landscaping stones and was right back where he started before the shots and PT. Back to the surgeon who thought the problem could not be fixed without surgery but it was up to Steve.
Diane suggested Yoga and the PT thought that was a great idea. Diane had read an article in the newspaper about an 80-something -year-old woman who was teaching yoga, and who 20 years earlier had severe back pain and was quite debilitated...

Salad of the Month
with Erin Sweeney Detwiler
Pesto Chickpea Salad
You may know that salad is my favorite meal. It's so easy, delicious, healthy, and colorful! I feel GOOD when I eat it and I adore it. This salad isn't low fat but it is satisfying and very nutrient rich.
Ingredients for Salad:
Baby Spinach (rinsed)
Pasta (I used Linguini)
1 Jar Pesto (or homemade)
1/4 cup pitted, mixed olives
1/8 Red Online Sliced Thin
1 Yellow Bell Pepper
1 Can Garbonzo Beans / Chickpeas (rinsed)
Goat Cheese
Chicken (optional)
1. Cook pasta to taste.
2. While pasta is cooking wash and chop veggies and cut up goat cheese into coarse crumbles. Warm meat if you are adding chicken.
3. When I added olives to the mixture, I also added some of the flavorful oil they were sitting in.
4. Drain cooked pasta and while still warm mix in pesto.
5. I enjoy this salad with warm pasta and if you are eating meat with warm meat as well.
6. Layer the baby spinach, then warm pasta, then veggie and cheese mixture, and then the optional chicken. This is a completely balanced meal without chicken but I know many people enjoy meat with their dinner. Either way, enjoy!
