If you’re here from my guest post on The Fitnessista, welcome! I hope you stay a while! So, there’s this message board I frequent. Some of you know what it is, some of you don’t… I’ll leave you guessing. In any case, someone brought up goulash today. Goulash. It sounds like golashes, but more edible. [...]

One of the easiest things I can do to help myself be healthier is to eat more veggies. It seems simple enough, but in the winter months in Chicago, truly flavorful vegetables tend to lurk in the cruciferous and tuberous families.

It is undoubtedly one of the toughest things in life when a loved one passes away. I know all of our thoughts, prayers and hugs are with Mara and her family as they mourn the loss of her father. Because thoughts, prayers and hugs (even virtual ones) are the little things that get us by [...]
