Read moreThe holidays are officially over, and for many people, this means that it’s time to start eating healthier. I certainly slacked on my clean eating in the past couple of months, so it’s definitely time to get back on the right track.

Read moreI don’t have any current health conditions that require me to eat a gluten-free diet, though I try to avoid gluten whenever possible as it just seems to slow me down.
