Potato Salad
After exercising or doing some gardening you’ll probably find that you’ve worked up quite an appetite! Geoff Jansz suggests recharging your batteries with a healthy, tangy potato salad. While that’s cooking, replace fluids lost during exercise by sipping a Virgin Mary (a non-alcoholic Bloody Mary).
