Being away from home for a few weeks with less responsibility for keeping up with house projects has allowed me to be super productive!

November 18, 2025 Hi Reader, For over 25 years, I’ve worked in the world of nutrition, fitness, and wellness.

July 18, 2025 Hey Reader, It's been a while but I've just been over here chugging along as usual! I've been able to get back to some recipe development this summer after completing something really crazy. At the ripe old age of 52, I decided to finally compete in a body building competition. I've thought about it several times over the last 20 years but never thought it wass possible. There were a lot of reasons as to why now, but mainly a new division opened up that made the whole process...
