Summer = busy weekends!

Once the nice weather starts to make an appearance weekends are no longer for resting. During the winter weekends are spent at home relaxing, cooking, cleaning, and watching TV.

I faced my fears…

I faced my fears…

…and cooked two things I’ve never cooked before: salmon and artichokes. It was pretty exciting because since my post a few weeks ago on power foods, I’ve been trying to incorporate these into my diet more.
