I weighed myself for the first time in almost a year. I’ve gained 10 pounds. Most of that is from my time in quarantine. I’m not eating fast food or takeout but I am drinking wine and eating sweets well into the evening. I’ve always had quite the appetite but it was balanced out by… Continue reading Falafel Plate with Mediterranean Salad

Even meat eaters won’t turn their noses up at… Continue reading Tofu-Really Good Breakfast Burritos
