This hummus recipes from @Fitgreenmind is our fave. It’s super simple, quick to prepare, and delicious topped with toasted pine nuts, cherry tomatoes, chives or scallions, or some chili oil. Add some garam masala to the other ingredients for a nice hit of spice. The key to delicious hummus is using good quality tahini (and sample it first before you toss it in with the other ingredients). Try this hummus with naan bread, pita, crackers, on a bagel, as a dip for veggies, or in place of mayo on your sandwich.
Stutz is a revealing documentary by Jonah Hill about the life and career of his therapist, Dr. Phil Stutz. It’s an intimate look at the doctor-patient relationship through the lens of Hill’s own mental health and provides a number of practical, clear, and straightforward tools and techniques from Stutz himself. Stutz’s unconventional approach, disarming manner, and sense of humour may just have you rethinking what you know about therapy.
Bonnie and Her 21 Children is the story of Bonnie Cappuccino, humanitarian, recipient of the Order of Canada, and founder of the charity Child Haven International. It’s told by her self-styled “long-suffering” husband (and Child Haven co-founder) Fred Cappuccino. It’s a wonderful account of how two people made an impact that changed the lives of their own children and people around the globe through their love and commitment to making the world a better place.
Dolly Parton’s America is an excellent podcast series by Jad Abumrad and Shima Oliaee. It starts with a simple mission to understand the impact that Dolly Parton and her music has had on the cultural landscape, and ends up traversing themes like feminism, politics, the immigrant experience, and global musical traditions that transcend time and borders. It’s a fascinating look at the life, times, and contribution that Parton has made to modern music and is well worth a listen whether you’re a fan or not.
