Because It Feels Good

When in doubt, hug it out!

I think this qualifies under the “feels good” category?

Know Your Food

This post talks about the meaning of the word organic as it pertains to our food. It’s a lot of quotes from the book The Omnivore’s Dilemma, but since I haven’t read it yet I found the post pretty interesting. Especially since I often buy the “washed 3x” organic lettuce in a box.

Are you a Pinner? Do you use Pinterest to plan your weekly menus?

Make It

My friend Chelsea swears by this baked hard boiled egg method and I’m pretty sure I will too.
