The Mindful-Based Eating Solution: Proven Strategies to End Overeating, Satisfy Your Hunger and Savor Your Life by Lynn Rossy PhD

This summer a handful of episodes of the podcast have focused on food, eating well and savoring the bounty of seasonal produce and recognizing that we can eat delicious and dreamed about food so long as we know where to find real flavor. Receiving rave reviews after having just been released, Dr. Lynn Rossy offers proven ideas for slowing down, savoring our food thereby causing us to eat less. Addressing emotional eating and eating out of boredom, mindful eating is an approach that will not only improve your eating but your entire approach to living well.

Cookbook

The Cook Book: Fortnum & Mason

If you are ever in London, ride the metro to Piccadilly station and walk the few blocks to Fortnum & Mason. It is a dream of a grocer, as well as offering multiple restaurants and a tea room, the food is a luxurious experience simply to observe and wander about in. This past May they released their first Cook Book which is already a bestseller in England. Full of wisdom about historic British cuisine, it also includes modern approaches to classic British dishes.

With the arrival of Bon Appétit’s latest issue, they announced their new sister website – Basically. The site is clean, simple and streamlined, full of clear images to help you in the kitchen make delicious, seasonal food (a perfect resource to this week’s episode of the podcast).

What a week it has been, what a beautiful, wonderful week it has been. Some sun, some agitating thunder and then some sweet, much anticipated rain. Beginning with walks on the coast on Long Beach to returning to Bend and savoring a summer storm, we are in the throes of summer at the moment, that is certainly for sure.

I wanted to take a moment and thank a TSLL reader, Suzi for bringing to my attention a lovely inclusion of The Simple Sophisticate podcast on The EveryGirl’s website in their 10 podcasts that will transform your commute. I was tickled to see the podcast was included as the company was quite talented. Be sure to check it out and discover more podcasts to put in your listening line-up.

Well, July is about to wrap up. How has it gone for you? Hopefully, you had some time to get away, slow down or simply enjoy many moments to breathe and relax. I can hardly believe August is nearly here, but indeed it is. And so too will this upcoming eighth month be amazing if we set out minds that it shall be.
