For a good part of my teenage life, and well into my early 20s, I considered skinny to be pretty, as after all that is the conventional wisdom. Skinny girls with big boobs, flat stomachs, no thighs, rock-hard abs and arms that don’t jiggle are perfect. Oh and you must be a size 2 to […]

Yes, summer has officially ended and fall has begun (crazy to believe, I know!), but that doesn’t mean we have to end our favorite summer eats as well. Go grab some corn today at the grocery store or at your local farmer’s market while it’s still fresh and (semi) in season! Hey, summer just ended

I had this light meal for dinner last night, and let me tell you: boy oh boy did it hit the spot. Have this anytime you need to eat on the run, great for lunch or dinner. Also, this is a great option for any of you with allergies, because there is no soy, gluten
