I think I mentioned this in last year’s Super Bowl post, but I am not a sports fan. The only reason I look forward to game day is because of the food. Why are football snacks so delicious? Anyway, everybody knows that your team doesn’t stand a chance if you aren’t serving up something delicious to your friends (okay, maybe that’s not true but it’s probably just as effective as wearing your favorite jersey!).Continue Reading
Meal Planning Made Easy
I’ve been getting a lot of emails lately from people claiming that they love the recipes we share on the blog, but that they just don’t have any time to ever give them a shot. Believe me, I get it.

everybody and they’re a major drag. While I can’t do anything about the weather, I can help you beat the cloud that mid winter tends to cast over us and I can do so with tea. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an avid coffee drinker, but it’s amazing what a good cup of tea can do for our energy, mood, and productivity. Continue Reading
