Herbed Chicken Omelet
With most things in life, simpler is better. And this herbed chicken omelet is no exception. With fresh herbs of your choosing, cooked shredded chicken, and eggs, this omelet is packed with protein and flavor for the ultimate, simple breakfast.
Now, when most people start to eat "healthy," a common complaint we might hear is that the food is so bland. Most of the time, this is because people are actually eating BLAND food. Boiled chicken and steamed vegetables are as bland as can be.
I always encourage these people to actually flavor their food. Crazy idea, I know. But spices - especially the ones from Trader Joe's - are a ...

All About The Plant Paradox Diet
From the moment we’re smart enough to understand, we’re told we need to eat fruit and vegetables. So when a diet tells you to abandon these healthy foods, of course, it’s going to be called a paradox.

It's the creation of a former heart surgeon, Steven Gundry, who claims lectins produce inflammation. This inflammation can lead to weight gain and diseases, so his diet avoids them—we’ll examine the results of this in detail.
To achieve this, we delve into the following:

This article explores the growing demand for zero-proof drinks, and it also outlines their benefits and possible side effects. We’ll also share three recommendations so you can experiment with zero-proof drinks on your own.

All About the Sesame Seed (Nutrition Facts and More)
Paleo people are talking, and they’re talking about sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are paleo-approved.

I'm going to tell you all about why I love LMNT electrolytes. But first, let me take you back a couple of decades...
I grew up as a sports-obsessed kid of the 90’s. That means that Gatorade was the drink of my childhood and teen years as most of my free hours were spent at various practices or sporting events. My go-to flavor was the light purple Frost flavor. I had to Google what it was called because it’s been so long since I’ve had it - Riptide Rush. I can still taste it when I think about it.

Bacon Mushroom Thyme Burgers
This isn't your Mama's normal old burger. This Bacon Mushroom Thyme burger might look unassuming, but I promise you - the flavor is out of this world.
Sure, you've probably put bacon on top of your burger before. But have you put bacon IN your burger? Add in some chopped mushrooms and thyme leaves and you've got yourself a burger that just won't quit.
I'd recommend using fresh thyme as fresh herbs *always* taste better, in my opinion. But if you've only got dried, you can definitely sub that in. Also, if you've got another fresh herb that you'd rather try, go for it and let me know how it turns out.
The key to making sure these ...
