As you may or may not know, I am not a baker. I find it satisfying as hell when I can bake something that comes out good though, so this is one of those moments. FreshDirect actually had the canned pumpkin (you’d think it was toilet paper or something because […]

Influencers Preaching Politics – Good or Bad?
The above photo is a joke about me being political. Yes, I support Bacon, Egg, & Cheese sandwiches. Now let me just say this before I say anything else: ultimately, I think it’s a good thing. It’s a contribution, and it’s starting more conversations around the issues that matter. But […]
Things I Loved in Health (or Sleep) This Week

Easy Brown Sugar Baked Chicken
I don’t know about you guys but I kind of hate cooking chicken breasts. They’re hard to get right, and they’re usually pretty boring. But I finally found a way to make them taste good and most importantly, hard to screw up. The key here is the brown sugar and […]
