Confession: I’ve never really been a fan of salads. That’s bad for a nutritionist isn’t it? But I’ve always preferred hot food. There was just something about a bowl of leaves that seemed unsatisfying…. until I figured out I had my approach all wron...

I love summer and I love winter, which makes me pretty happy year-round. This recent arctic spell has made me review my position though! After unpeeling my frozen fingers from the handles of the bike, I can safely say that winter sucks from a weathe...

Well 2021 has got off to a weird start with a Capitol riot and a tragic number of deaths internationally from Covid-19. But while it’s easy to focus on the doom and gloom, a big YAY for US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris; how am...
