I have enough food for an army from Thanksgiving, so I'm doing a little deep dive on the term "lifestyle change". This idea stemmed from an MSN article "Lifestyle Changes" are Often Diet Culture in Disguise. It gave me something to think about because diet culture is everywhere, even when we are trying to get [...]
So much going on this week. I put new brake pads on my car. Ended up getting a bit of a workout doing so. Every time I do car work, I end up sweating a fair bit. Think about it, lifting heavy things and using some effort to loosen tight bolts. Not every workout has [...]
I am doing another dessert this week because I have way to many frozen meals and I need to pare them down. Who doesn't love more dessert? I'm still keeping these on the simple side because we have some friends we are entertaining this week and I have to change the brake pads on my [...]
Now that I'm back home, I wanted to do something pretty simple. All this travelling has taken a lot out of me. However, I can't leave dessert behind. I like having my sweet fix after dinner. I just can't help it. I also think it helps me to eat healthier. If you are constantly skipping [...]
This is a repost of a post from the very beginning. I am traveling and will post new content next week. There are lots of great recipes out there. You can find them all over the Internet. You probably also have a ton of cookbooks at home. When you start eating healthier, does that mean [...]
Now that I have a bunch of chickpeas to use up, I'm making another dish that uses them. Last week's recipe was a bust. One of the other things I forgot to mention is that they may have failed due to using sugar substitutes. Macrons are so finicky. Note for next week. I will be [...]
These are NOT macarons I am doing this recipe as a trial run for Thanksgiving. Macarons are my sister-in-law's favorite cookies. I have been making these for her for years now. For those who want to attempt these cookies, these are not a beginner cookie. There is technique involved that takes a bit of practice. [...]
Since I have some chickpeas left over and I wanted to add to my repertoire of vegan recipes, I am doing a chickpea dish. I'm doing this for my sister-in-law too. One of the things I noticed when she cooked for us was the lack of protein in the dish. Everyone should eat enough protein. [...]
This week I learned that my sister in law has become a vegan. I think that's great! Even though we are not officially vegan, a lot of our dishes are vegan. Mostly because we don't do dairy in our house. Knowing this, it'll be good to strengthen my vegan muscles and test out a few [...]
Our social life has been picking up as of late. That means I don't have as much time to cook. We got together with some friends for an evening in. I ended up cooking up a Middleastern spread with hummus, tabbouleh, keto pita, and hashweh. They brought a board game we had never heard of [...]
