There is too much refined sugar in our day to day lives, and although it tastes wonderful it is not good for you. It causes a lot of inflammation in the body, and suppresses the immune system. Traditional jam from the grocery stor

I always try different diets/ways of eating (within reason), so I have first hand knowledge of what it does to your body. Lately I've been following a SCD, low-FODMAP diet and I am not going to lie, it isn't overly easy.

She was cute, and always tried to protect me from "the stove." At the age of 12 I was already

This has been the first time I have steered away from making garlic shrimp. Garlic shrimp was my go to recipe. I threw this together last night for dinner.

Every once in a while I change my diet around. Sometimes I do intermittent fasting, others times I will do a sugar free diet. Our needs change as we age and encounter new life situations. That being said, we will not have one specific "diet" for the rest of our lives. Right now I am doing a sugar detox, not that I ate a great deal of sugar to begin with, but it is good to cleanse from it every once in a while (or better yet, just not consume it in the first place.) Sugar is h
