I couldn't help but put together another list of interesting reads! Devoured: From Chicken Wings to Kale Smoothies – How What We Eat Defines Who We Are – Sophie Egan (Published May 2016) Egan reveals, in exhaustive detail, the ins and outs of American food culture. I personally found this one as an audiobook [...]
An (obvious) Incentive to Use/Eat More Veggies Couldn’t we all use to eat more veggies each day? Myself included! Going Vegan gave me an extra incentive to not only consume more veggies, but choose fresh and local options as well. Given that a bulk of my diet is produce, I am more apt to seek [...]
Peace of Mind I take much pride in knowing that my kitchen contains no dead animals or products that had come about through the suffering of animals. Once making the switch from a conventional kitchen to a vegan kitchen as part of my New Year’s Resolution (2017), I noticed a big change. No, it wasn’t [...]
A good breakfast gives me the energy and satiety to power through until lunch. The beauty of these recipes is that you can tailor the ingredients to suit your own preferences. Moreover, the amounts of each ingredient listed below are mere starting points as well. I don’t actually expect anyone to pull out the measuring [...]

In his work, Wallman explained the concept of “Minimalism” and [...]

It is also not merely a trendy “buzzword” contained in the latest news story. In short, Minimalism is a self-guided and empowering lifestyle that affords one both the [...]
“Some of my best meals have been created in an uncluttered kitchen.” –E, 2017 If you would have told me in college that I would be uttering those words three years into the future, I would have said, “WTF, mate.” It’s true. When I was in school, I often had 3-4 roommates at a time [...]
Besides long titles, what else do these books have in common? Reading is one of the most relaxing ways to enjoy an evening. I can’t think of a better way to unwind after a long day. I’ve also noticed that I can sleep through the night much better than if I had chosen to check [...]
