I’m sharing tasty oatmeal recipes to spice up your meal plan and start the day right. One of the biggest adjustments to my FASTer Way to Fat Loss journey was not having breakfast first thing in the morning.

on Jun 28, 2010, Updated Feb 09, 2024 I like just about any fruit. But up until about… Oh a month ago I thought I hated cherries. See, I’ve only ever had maraschino cherries and their yucky bug juice. The red dye used in maraschino cherries comes from crushed female cochineal beetles.Yes, really! So I’d written off cherries as one of the few fruits I will never eat. That was until I politely declined a fresh cherry that a friend offered me....

on Sep 13, 2024, Updated May 20, 2025 To paint a picture of Visby, Sweden, is to close your eyes and describe your favorite fairytale in vibrant color, texture, and detail. It is dripping with deep blues, greens, and greys. Red roof tiles separate sky from sea on the horizon, and stone walls rise like strong arms protecting a child from danger.

on May 23, 2011, Updated Apr 12, 2023 I’ll be honest, I don’t feel particularly inspired today. At 32 weeks pregnant, exhausted and out of it is not really a pregnancy symptom I was expecting. I think it’s much too early to be having that “get this baby out” feeling. As if trading my belly for a newborn will help my exhaustion anyway. I thought the same thing with Oscar and yet, I never knew tired until I was thrust into the role of newborn baby caregiver....
