Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you had a great weekend and feel ready to rock a new week! It has been a crazy time of home improvement projects around here and my kitchen has looked like this for 3 weeks:
so needless to say, I haven’t been cooking much lately. Frozen pizzas save lives, for real. Instead of sharing a recipe today, I’m sharing some articles I’ve read recently about what’s new in the health and wellness world.
NEW IN FOOD:
Ever thought of bugs as a viable protein source? Lithic Nutrition has launched a line of cricket-based protein bars and powders. Lithic’s claim is that crickets are very sustainable, have low environmental impact, and contain all 9 essential amino acids for a complete protein source.

More proof that fat-shaming isn’t helpful. Enough said.
NEW IN FITNESS:
Your workout doesn’t have to look like that other guy’s. Consider your personality type when choosing how you stay active.

A FEW BLAST-FROM-THE-PAST RECIPES:

or these Spicy Dill Refrigerator Pickles that taste like summer,
or how about making your own Almond Butter?
