This is a short post…pretty much just a list. So much power is provided by waking up early. Some of the greatest minds that have ever lived practiced the art of how to get up early. But why? “Get up early” may mean different things to different people. For me, some days it means 4:30am […]
Tonight’s dinner was all about using what we had. I could have gone to the grocery store to buy the plant-based staples we were missing, but instead I decided not to let anything in the fridge go to waste. Somehow I miscalculated in the food shops so I was left with a bit of this […]

There are many reasons out there people are moving away from canned beans. Sure, they are convenient, but at […]
