You know The Princess and the Pea?
I am not her.
For the better part of yesterday, I walked around with a staple in my boot.
It all began at school. I was…
If you love the taste of lamb but don’t always love the price, grab yourself a few pounds of lamb stew meat instead. It’s often much less expensive and makes for some of the most comforting, flavorful meals. This Moroccan lamb stew has wonderful, warm spices like cumin, cinnamon and cloves. And it’s made more healthy with cauliflower in place of any heavier root vegetables.
Janssen Research & Development, one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, announced that it will invest in a novel scientific approach, called disease interception, to find ways to intercept type 1 diabetes using new diagnostic and pre-disease intervention strategies.

I’ve recently become very enamored of sunflower seed butter as a healthy alternative to my beloved peanut butter. But it can be quite pricy at the store and most brands still contain added sugar. So I decided to try making my own at home and now I can’t stop! It’s remarkably easy and it costs just a fraction of the store-bought brands.
