Whether you agree with Virginia or not, this will definitely get you thinking.
Closet Cooking has an amazing-looking recipe for Chorizo scrambled eggs breakfast tacos. Must make these for Sunday brunch!
Men’s Health picked the 100 Best Workout Songs of All Time, and included a snippet of each song so you can decide which ones are worthy of your next playlist.
Food for my Family has an amazing round-up of articles, recipes and tips on making meals easier, cheaper and more nutritious during pregnancy, during the first postpartum weeks and beyond. I can’t wait to come back and delve into this one deeper as I get closer to the end of my pregnancy.
