I like hummus occasionally, but I hate how much it costs for just a little tub. Another concern is that it is one of the foods that seem to be susceptible to food contamination. At the moment I have to be especially careful. Listeria can cause severe problems if you are pregnant. Years ago, I used to buy hummus powder for around $4 per lb. Pretty expensive for something made from chickpeas but still less money than premade stuff. I got to craving hummus the other day when I tried to think about foods that were easy to eat and...

The pandemic has led to an increase in doctor’s visits and consultations via video call or chat. Medical offices that previously required in-person visits for straightforward matters are now encouraging virtual appointments.

It should not come as a surprise that there is no meat in these kits...

This year has been challenging for everyone. But like any tumultuous year, life goes on in many ways and there is always new life popping up. This time it happened to me. My husband and I really increased how much we were prepping at the beginning of the pandemic. As time wore on and civil unrest came into the mix in the cities, we prepped even more. Matt grew a lot of gardens, and we put back what we could not eat fresh. At 37 years old, we really thought that kids were not possible for us. A few years...
