Living in Columbia most of my life, if I were to describe it by a few things, I would pick Shakespeare’s, MU Tigers, and the gorgeous trails. Spring is almost here, so I want to encourage you to get out and explore some of the pretty nature hikes Columbia has to offer. Some hikes in Columbia can feel like hidden secrets, and they aren’t the easiest to figure out unless you have someone to show you them. I hope my super basic maps and handwritten directions are useful and help you explore new parts of this amazing town we call home.

Boone Hospital Center is trialing a new device that uses electrical impulses to block pain signals from traveling from the spinal cord to the brain, potentially eliminating the need for pain management drugs like opioids. It is the first hospital in mid-Missouri to do so.
This recipe has a nice balance of carbs (the starchy squash), non-starchy veggies (onion, spinach, mushroom, jalapeno), and protein (cheese, chicken). I like the simplicity and how it can be a surprisingly quick recipe if you are good at multitasking in the kitchen. Feel the freedom to switch up the veggies, use rotisserie chicken, and/or use whatever kind of cheese your heart desires.
