I grew up on Friday steak nights, but in college I stopped eating red meat because everyone was scared of cholesterol. Over time, I learned it’s not as bad as we once thought, especially in moderation. Turns out my Midwest mom’s advice was right all along. There’s something about that mid-afternoon slump that makes even … Read more

Sometimes, small things make a big difference in life. I remember taking a glass of warm water with a few drops of lemon all throughout my adult life. But now, I guess too much of the same thing is also not good. So everyday now, I cycle between a few more morning drinks. It feels … Read more

Growing up on a Texas farm, mornings were easy for us and started with feeding livestock and preparing for fieldwork. This usually was allowed by a heavy hearty breakfast like eggs, sausage and cookies with coffee. But in the early, action packed mornings, I managed to get a few super early starts when everything was … Read more
