When I Googled where the nearest Arby’s was in relation to my house, I groaned when the ETA said 20+ minutes. Little did I know the treasure I would find. Food was delicious, went with the Arby Melt as Eat This, Not That recommends. Couldn’t avoid the delicious potato cakes, however.

Chobani makes my favorite Greek yogurt out there. There is nothing better than a nice blueberry or strawberry banana Chobani. When I heard they had some new flavors, I was excited to try them. First on my list? Apple Cinnamon. The Good: Apple Cinnamon’s fruit-on-the-bottom is tremendous. Imagine the filling of a cinnamon Pop-Tart with…
Eating Clean Week Day 3 Recap: Spoiler – J’s Wins
If you lived in the Lehigh Valley through the 1980’s and 1990’s, you were familiar with J’s Cheesesteaks and Subs.

Theo Ratliff has a $32.99 per bottle energy shot concoction.

And while I have absolutely no scientific proof to make this claim, everyone else is just a little bit happier on Fridays. And while Friday’s…
Trying Goji berries.
The term superfood has been abused across the globe and is being phased out, or not used at all, by dietitians.
