I’m Fat AND I Matter
I matter. You matter. It's a hard concept for many of us to hold onto. I went to therapy today. And if you’ve never been, I would be in a huge “don’t knock it till you try it” boat here. Honestly it has been a huge game changer! My Psychiatrist mentioned something the...
Fall Harvest Soup – A Quick, Healthy and Frugal Fix
Soup. So simple. Or at least it can be. I can't remember when I first started cooking, but I know I have been watching my dad cook soup since I was a kid. And I'm not going to lie, he ROCKS at it. So much so that I think I kind of avoided soups. I wouldn't ever make...
