I’ve got too many ripe avocados right now. Although I think this is comparable to complaining that your pants are too loose or that you have too much money. I like avocado and egg salad sandwiches, so I decided to throw some of my abundant avocado onto my over easy eggs this morning. This was an …

January 6th, 2013 | Posted by in Healthy Habits - (2 Comments)I have this habit of leaving the cupboard doors open in my kitchen.

Make Your Own Salad Dressing (So You Don’t Have to Throw Yourself Off a Bridge)
December 9th, 2012 | Posted by in Healthy Habits - (8 Comments)I don’t think it will come as a surprise that I eat salad. A lot. Like a lot, a lot.
