Happy Monday friends! So my friend and neighbor Deepa has an amazing food blog called Deepa’s Wellness Journey. I love running into her on the street and asking what she’s whipping up that day! A few weeks back, I ran into her at our local market where she was picking…

Confession friends: I’m sure it will come as no surprise, but I don’t have the slightest clue about football, and in fact, up until two days ago I didn’t know who was playing in this Sunday’s Super Bowl. However, I can tell you I do know how to throw a good…
