Salad Ideas?
Hi all! I've been eating salads for lunch lately. I live in Texas and it's getting hot, so it's the perfect summertime meal! However I'm kind of bored of the salads I've been making (cranberry walnut feta, and asian chicken salad with tangerines). Anybody out there got any ideas on how to spice up my greens? Thanks!

Save money, stay healthy, make your own gf BREAD!
Hello Gluten free friends! I started baking my own bread recently because I was reading that a lot of gf bread brands are total garbage. It's so processed and refined that you might as well eat Wonder Bread ( we all know how great that is for you). My goal was to bake a true multigrain gf bread without all the added crap.…

Battling Negative Influences
Hi all! In all honesty, I've battled with weight loss my entire life. As a child I developed the bad habit of turning to food for comfort, and it's been a struggle ever since.
