Never Disappointing Meatballs

Don’t you hate it when you try something delicious, everything else that tries to duplicate that very thing ends up failing? The first time I had Tirimisu at a local bakery, every other bakery I ever went to afterwards has never been able to compare. I feel this way about a lot of grocery stores, [...]

ONE of My Guilty Pleasures

Yeah that’s right I said it, just ONE of my guilty pleasures definitely insinuates that I have many. Which I do, like pop music for example. When it comes to food though, pizza definitely takes the cake (which is also by the way another one). Unfortunately there are not too many mom and pop pizza [...]

Do Your Part

Like a lot of families I know, cancer and diabetes run in our family. My mother, grandfather and many of my aunts and uncles have had one or the other or they still do. Unfortunately not all of them have been survivors. But for my family who is here with me today, they understand the [...]

Moderation

Omega 3’s are great for you, but don’t neglect your Omega-6’s. Both have a pretty wide range of uses, and both can be beneficial.

Stock Your Kitchen Properly

A properly stocked kitchen= better health decisions. And it makes sense too because if you are bombarded with junk food, soda, ice cream, cookies (and everything else we hate ourselves for loving) you are more likely to eat just those foods presented to you, therefore causing more acne, more pounds, a bad heart, high cholesterol, [...]

Food for the Brain

As a student, I’m up late hours studying all the time. I know it’s not the healthiest thing to do, getting 4 hours of sleep, but sometimes procrastination gets the best of me. I also have a bad habit of drinking energy drinks.  So since I have such bad studying habits, I had to get [...]

Endometriosis

What is Endometriosis? If you’re anything like me, then anytime you hear medical vocabulary you automatically assume that it’s going to be something that is too complicated to understand. But when I found out that this is something that could affect me as a woman, I took the time and read up. Endometriosis is a [...]

Flax Veggie Burgers

I’ve tried a few veggie burgers throughout the years. Most of them weren’t eaten at a restaurant either. Actually…most of the patties ended up falling apart the moment I picked them up.
