It’s been a long day; your stomach is growling and the age-old question of what to make for dinner arises. Most of us want a quick, easy cooking solution, especially during the weeknights. With the weather cooling, turning on the oven and grabbing a sheet pan might be the answer to dinner. I often use this method to create a delicious meal with little fuss. Onion, garlic, olive oil, herbs and seasonings create a foundation for several sheet-pan recipes.

You Say Tomato… : Celebrate juicy, delicious tomatoes

Aug 26, 2024 | yourtahoeguide.com | Priya Hutner

The perfect summer tomato can be eaten alone and bursts with juicy deliciousness. A touch of salt heightens the flavor. I still recall picking Jersey and beefsteak tomatoes from my grandfather’s garden and eating them like apples. According to the University of Vermont, there are more than 10,000 varieties of tomatoes worldwide. Farmers’ markets are the best place to purchase fresh tomatoes. They often offer a variety of tomatoes.

Aug 26, 2024 | yourtahoeguide.com | Priya Hutner

Tahoe’s environment is both beautiful and harsh. Thick forests, sheer rocky mountainsides, steep drops and, in many places, challenging and technical trails to navigate. However, accessing Lake Tahoe, other local waterways and many trails can be challenging for people with physical disabilities. Most backcountry trails in Tahoe are virtually impossible for many with a disabilityand Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) trailhead parking is limited.

The dog days of summer have arrived. Sweltering temperatures reflect heat off granite and asphalt, driving locals and visitors alike to the lakes in the Tahoe Siera to find relief. It’s the time of year when it’s too hot to spend time in the kitchen and turning on the oven is a recipe for overheating. Some people choose to cook or prep in the cooler hours of the morning. I generally relish mornings with coffee and a paddle, so I look for alternative ways to prepare meals that beat the heat.
Sweet & savory summer smoothies

The luscious mix of fresh or frozen peaches and cream or a tropical blend of fresh fruits are just some of the foundations for a cool, refreshing smoothie to beat the heat. When it’s hot out, my appetite dwindles. I tend to lean into foods that are lighter in nature and easier to digest. If I am not feeling hungry but realize I need nutrition, I opt for a frozen smoothie packed with fruits or vegetables or both and a dash of protein.
Tahoe’s literary stewards | Celebrating the written word

Jul 15, 2024 | yourtahoeguide.com | Priya Hutner

Tahoe is home to many writers. Poets, novelists, memoirists, outdoor and travel writers and journalists are inspired by the magic of the majestic cragged peaks, snowy landscapes and the deep blues of Lake Tahoe. Words are essential. They help us communicate ideas and express feelings. Writing takes a reader on a journey, fosters learning and illuminates the world around us. Books, articles and stories take us on an adventure to far-off lands, educate us and allow us to escape into a juicy novel.
