Health Begins in the Kitchen
I’ve been reading Dave Asprey’s book called Headstrong: The Bulletproof Plan to Activate Untapped Brain Energy to Work Smarter and Think Faster–in Just Two Weeks (1) for the last few weeks and I’m really amazed at all the citations he has that back up his research. […]
Three of my favorite ingredients in one harmonic culinary chorus! Plus there’s something very satisfying to me about having all my nutrition essentials in one dish. Let me explain: usually I compose a dinner meal with a good protein source (mainly fish, meat or poultry), […]
Often times Shepherd’s Pie is confused with Cottage Pie but here’s the main difference: the former is made with lamb (Shepherds herd lambs not cows!) and the latter is made with beef. In fact, I was going to pull the faux pas of calling this […]
