I’ve been on this SERIOUS workout routine for the last several weeks, and have been so impressed by the changes and differences I’ve seen in both my body and day-to-day life. Now, to be clear, I’m always eating fresh food that I cook for myself. But I’m talking about really, really getting into the nitty/gritty
Gourmet pulled pork sandwiches? Does such a thing exist? Yes, friends, it really, really does.

Whenever I can make something at home, I do it. I’m not a fan of the mysterious “spices” label that’s on the ingredient list of most foods.
