Taking Health to Heart
Why don't people take their health more seriously? It seems to me that most people only seem to take action when they're ill. When the doctor tells them: "Something has to change, or you'll develop diabetes" or "You are at risk of heart disease," then they start to think that they have to make a change or their lives will be cut short. But why does it have to get to this point before people start doing something? Why does someone have to tell you that you might die young if you carry on leading an unhealthy lifestyle, before it actually hits you? My favorite line from the book How Not to Die by Michael Greger is: "how health eludes some and embraces others." What I am interested in is what determines which of these two categories you fit into?

Delicious Goulash
In Hungary, Gulyasleves is a dish which is prepared like a soup. A herdsman is a gulyas, and leves means soup. This soup is typically made with beef, vegetables, ground paprika, and other spices. It was a dish which was cooked by cattlemen tending their herds on the Great Hungarian Plain. They cooked it outdoors over an open fire in a portable cauldron which was called bogracs. Originally the dish was similar to a stew and was called bogracsgulyas. When Gulyasleves is served in a Hungarian restaurant it is a soup, but Hungarians in their homes cook the dish as a stew. The recipe has many variations and although the usual meat is beef, mixed meats may also be used such as pork and mutton/lamb. To this one can add tomatoes, carrots and fresh peppers (often hot chilies). Ingredients like onions, paprika, and caraway seeds bring out the flavor in this dish and cubed potatoes or pasta squares may be added.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you ask me one of the most underrated desserts out there is the cookie. Cookies are delicious and can come in many different shapes, sizes, and flavors. There are so many different kinds of cookies out there; chocolaty, fruity, healthy, sweet, savory and so on. Heck, I've seen some pretty delicious looking hybrid cookies out there that we may have to try and make sometime soon. S'more cookies anyone?

Creamy Chicken Pasta (Non-Dairy)
Hello my little lovelies! So this recipe that I bring today is a warm comforting recipe that will warm anyone's heart. It is a creamy chicken pasta without the dairy! First and foremost, I LOVE pasta. I have always loved pasta. In fact, my favorite pasta is shrimp fettuccine alfredo. I just love the creamy cheesiness and happiness that pasta gives me. But it brings one downside: because it is basically nothing but dairy products all around it tends to make you bloated and constipated. If you're like me and you're lactose intolerant, it has a side effect that's not very nice that I'm not going to elaborate on. So I started looking into dairy alternatives that could make a dish creamy AND not cause much bloating to the person eating it. Because of the corn and the carrots, this dish can be a little on the sweet side. If you want to add some heat, feel free to add in some rep pepper flakes or cayenne pepper or hack go ahead and throw in some hot sauce if you want, it's completely up to you. Again all spices are to taste in this recipe there really is no measurement. Enjoy the recipe!
