This blended vegetable soup often makes an appearance after a trip. Specifically, when we arrive home to a mostly empty refrigerator. Alternately, I tend to cook it if f I’m needing a relatively low-lift, healthful soup that will yield some legit leftovers to be excited about later in the week. Because it’s blended, this soup is creamy without the cream. It’s loaded with a range of veggies and good-for-you ingredients. It uses up all those hearty, unfussy ingredients that tend to last longest around a kitchen – onions, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, etc. The kind that are there to welcome you…
634 How Yoga makes me a better parent: Learning How to Fall Down By Elena Savage It’s 7 a.m., and my tween age daughter is hurling invectives at me: she does not have enough clothes, I never listen to her, life sucks. My son suddenly appears to tell me that, by the way, he dropped his phone in the toilet about an hour ago and, after drying it with a towel and then plugging it in to his computer, it no longer works.

This satisfying plant-based bowl of nutrition brings together many cherished victuals of Japanese cuisine―nutty soba, vibrant matcha, earthy miso, and feisty wasabi. Baking the tofu that’s been slathered with a miso sauce yields cubes with a meaty texture and some flavourful caramelization. If you’re eating gluten free, you can find soba noodles that are made entirely of buckwheat flour, which is free of gluten. If you don’t have wasabi paste, you can spice up the dressing with chili sauce or cayenne. This recipe was originally published in the April 2025 issue of alive magazine.

When we talk about football, our minds instantly go to tactics, skill, and the roar of the crowd.

But beneath the physical and tactical layers lies a deeper, often overlooked dimension — the psychological battlefield. In modern football, mind games, mental momentum, and psychological manipulation have become as critical as any play drawn on the tactics board. This hidden war is waged long before kickoff, often during press conferences or training sessions. Managers like Sir Alex Ferguson mastered the art of…
