To those of you who read, shared, and reacted to those posts – your feedback and support has been greatly appreciated. However, as of … Continue reading A Quick Update
Sweet Spiced Pork Kebabs
One of the troubling things that I have been dealing with lately is digestive issues. While we’re attempting to figure out what’s causing my problems, I’ve been doing some research on natural solutions that could help rightsize my gut. I stumbled across the Low FODMAP diet. FODMAPS are carbohydrates that the small intestine has trouble digesting and, apparently, restricting their consumption can help improve digestive … Continue reading Sweet Spiced Pork Kebabs
Bookmarked: The Devil in the White City
“The Devil in the White City” was described to me as a true-crime thriller, covering the horrific murders of a serial killer who used the World Fair of Chicago to lure his victims. I decided this would be an interesting book to fulfill one of the checklist items of my 2018 “Read Harder” challenge. It would be intriguing and creepy, but would be far enough … Continue reading Bookmarked: The Devil in the White City
Bookmarked: Reincarnation Blues
People say that you’re not supposed to judge a book by a cover. Well, don’t tell those people, but I chose to read “Reincarnation Blues” solely because it had a funky neon cover. I honestly didn’t know anything about the book except that the cover artwork was colorful and fun. Little did I know, this book’s heart was also colorful and fun. First, a little … Continue reading Bookmarked: Reincarnation Blues
Meal Talk Monday: Ashley’s Black Bean Brownies
I’m a huge sucker for desserts, especially those of the chocolatey variety. Brownies are actually one of my favorite desserts and it’s been a killer trying to cut them out of my diet in my attempts to improve my eating habits. Luckily, one of my friends sent me this amazing brownie recipe that is both vegan and a little bit healthier! Ashley has taste tested … Continue reading Meal Talk Monday: Ashley’s Black Bean Brownies
Bookmarked: The Library at Mount Char
“The Library at Mount Char” is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting and unique books that I have read in quite some time. In a year in which we have seen and will see some fantastic and long-awaited releases, “The Library” may just, albeit quietly, assume the position of best fiction book I’ve read in 2018. The novel immediately thrusts you into the … Continue reading Bookmarked: The Library at Mount Char

Playtime: PS VR Worlds
As I’ve mentioned before, I picked up a PSVR bundle during Sony’s E3 sale. The bundle came with a demo disk of various games and a copy of “Skyrim VR.” The demo disk was definitely a fun start, but ultimately left me wanting – as demo disks are designed to do – because none of the demos gave me the satisfaction of a complete game. … Continue reading Playtime: PS VR Worlds
Eating Healthy at the Fair
One of my favorite parts about the summer is going to my local fair. As someone somewhat far removed from the rural areas of America, I find it pretty neat to see farm animals face-to-face and learn about local agriculture. But let’s face it – that’s not all there is to see. I always drop some money playing carnival games, maybe check out a few rides, and indulge … Continue reading Eating Healthy at the Fair
Rewind: Extinction
After finishing up another binge of “Community” on Hulu, I sidled over to Netflix to see if there were any good one-off movies that could fill the remaining few hours of my rainy, drizzly day. After scrolling through what felt like an overwhelming amount of movies featuring washed up comedians (looking at you Adam Sandler and David Spade), I caught a trailer for an alien … Continue reading Rewind: Extinction
