Although this is not a lifestyle change I want to make (blog readers looking for processed & sweet treats everywhere rejoice), it is something I hope to be more mindful of!
With making healthier choices now that we are an Old Married Couple and want to try to avoid all the Happiness Weight that comes with Happily Ever After, meals like this will become a regular addition to our diets. Continue reading Roasted Broccoli and Chick Peas
