Twirling Cakes
Shelby loved driving in the early morning, the peace of the resting city, its usual noise muffled by the blanket of night. The lights had dimmed, nothing ever turned off here, but the soft glow as she drove through the rain-slicked streets reminded her of the holiday season.

The Reality of Ranch Animals
Food is important. Everyone needs to eat in order to survive. Thankfully, there is no need for people to go and slaughter their own meat anymore, as there are markets and grocery stores that provide food nicely packaged and easy to prepare. Unfortunately, this level of comfort comes with a degree of ignorance. Over the past few years, it has become increasingly obvious that people, Americans specifically, do not know how their food is made. This applies to many things, including meat. Ranchers are a big part of the food industry, raising animals such as cows and chickens to later be killed by businesses to provide the packaged meat we find in grocery stores. However, raising an animal is a commitment that takes money and time, two things that really hinder the money-making process. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see the animals be neglected and mistreated to the point of deliberate abuse. Meat production is directly influenced by how the animals are treated. Healthy ranch animals are important to the food industry because it decreases chances of disease outbreaks and strengthens the economy, as well as creates a good image for the food production and overall industry.

Death by chocolate
On my birthday there is nothing better than a slice of cake. It's like magic in your mouth. The creamy texture that coats all your taste buds, bringing complete joy and satisfaction. The texture is so smooth and sticky that it makes it hard to swallow. Who wants to swallow as it's just, that good.

Sundays Are the Thing of Greatness My alarm goes off, and a smile spreads across my face because I remember: it’s Sunday. This alarm is going off for greatness. Sunday is the day that I make breakfast potatoes. I’ve been doing it now for 20 weeks. (27 in total)

Martini Coffee Roasters
Anyone who knows me for five minutes knows how much I adore coffee. More so, a great cup of coffee. Nick Martini, Co-Founder & COO at Martini Coffee Roasters, reached out to me on LinkedIn, and after we started chatting, he offered to send me a sample of his AMAZING coffee. I have to say I am thankful that he did because I am hooked. He sent me a bag of decaffeinated coffee beans (Yes, I asked for decaf).

The Vegan 'movement' has taken off at an enormous rate in recent years, and with celebrities everywhere promoting the cause, (think Joaquin, Di Caprio and Pamela Anderson to name but a few) more and more of us are ditching dairy, saying ''meh'' to meat, and ''see-ya'' to sushi.

Sacher's Torte. Top Story - July 2021.
Franz gently stirred the dark chocolate bars until they were partially melted over the double boiler. Then gradually adding the carefully prepared, thread-thin, sugar water, he combined them into a smooth, silky, pool of decadence. His taste buds tingled, and he began to salivate as the aroma of cocoa wafted through the air.

Eat More Plants Please. Top Story - July 2021.
Making the transition to a plant-based diet is easier than you think but it does take some perseverance. Like any new challenge, if you try to tackle it all at once, you will quickly become consumed by the overwhelming amount of information available. Recipes, influencers, nutritional recommendations, and plant-based food substitutes will bombard you from every direction, and good luck trying to avoid that one vegan friend of yours who has suddenly taken an intense interest in your health and well-being (I know because I’ve been that friend a time or two).

Eat Like a Local in Mammoth
In June 2021 I drove to Mammoth, California a geologist's dream playground, located in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Not only was I there to partake in Mother Earth's expansive beauty (for my article on Mammoth Hikes click here) but to also visit a LOCAL! Below is the list of four MUST-VISIT establishments my tastebuds happily experienced during my two-day stay. The vibe at each restaurant gives you a sense of the town. The owners, staff, and local clientele are kind and want to interact with you. They enjoy hearing where you are from, what you are reading, and who you are. They love talking about their town and the geographic history behind it. The food is GREAT. The list below will fulfill all cravings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks - Bon Appetit!
