It was also remarked that the Nobel […]

If it was up to me and my tastebuds, I’d eat just about anything on this green earth. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to wheat, caffeine makes my back hurt, most milk replacements bother my stomach, and Stevia makes me depressed. For all of those (weird) reasons, I’ve had a hard time with health drinks. Then, one fateful day while I was scrolling through Facebook, I saw an […]

There’s a lot of fancy cooking items out there these days. Sous vides, Instant Pots, pizza ovens are all well and good, but what about the items we use most in the kitchen?

While the book is coming out during […]

I love my water bottle. It’s something I always have by my side, whether I’m working, exercising, or just hanging out. Staying hydrated is important. But if you use a water bottle too, like a Hydroflask or a Swell, you’ll know what I mean when I say that after a while, they can get a little gross. The first sign is the water starts to give […]

With the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot ignore clusters of coronavirus infections because, well, they will quickly give way to increased outbreaks and on and on and on. The highly contagious nature of […]
