Curry Carrot Soup
People have asked me what I have been doing to lose weight. My response is pretty standard. There are no secrets. I’m just trying to eat less. I haven’t even exercised that much (that’s changing now though!). It’s just in what I consume. I’ll go into more detail about my diet throughout the course of […]
Trying something new
I’ve seen a lot of pins on Pinterest (why are so many of my sentences beginning like this these days?) about alternatives to pasta.
