Living the WELL Life

I don’t really love faux things like lasagna and cheesecake, but this recipe is just amazing and I had to share it. If you love cheesecake, you will love this one . . . and enjoy it without compromise to your health. It’s a bit of work, but it’s worth it.  Read more

I can hardly walk down the street these days without seeing someone eating or drinking along the way. What has happened to our eating habits that we think that it’s acceptable to eat wherever we are? Can we be too busy to be able to sit down for a meal? Has there been a shift in our eating culture that makes it okay to ingest a meal anywhere? People eat 20% of their meals in their cars rather than waiting until they are home and sitting at the kitchen table. Can one eat a healthy diet while on the move?
