My Own 30 Day Whole Food Challenge
A lot has been going on. If you aren’t a regular reader, you can get caught up HERE. I have not been eating well at all. Between two first-trimesters of pregnancy in the last six months, not being able to do much food prep because of the rash on my hands, my husbands weird work…
Creamy Italian Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce (Vegan)
Sometimes while I am chopping veggies or washing dishes, I grumble to myself about how I wish I was on a beach relaxing instead of dealing with the daily grind. We are all guilty of this. Lately I have been unable to do anything around the house because of a very bad allergic reaction on…
