Always on the lookout for a fabulous Vegan option, I was thrilled when I learned that John's Italian Restaurant offers a Vegan menu! 

No, seriously you have no idea how fabulous this is for me? A real Italian restaurant that knows what they're doing, and they offer options of items that I love but converted into Vegan! Ahhhh. Seriously I can hardly contain my excitement!

Pasta with Vegan Alfredo sauce! Vegan pizza with Daiya cheese!!!!!! Seitan marsala! All my italian favorites done by professionals!

I can't wait to try it out! Have you tried their vegan menu? Thoughts? Leave 'em in the comments!

Have I told you lately that I love almond milk. It's such a wonderful creation. Who needs to drink cow-udder juice? YUCK! Anyway, so here is just one more reason you should pass on the stuff and drink some water or throw some almond milk in your cereal! Skim milk, even more markedly than other cow's milk is associated with teen acne! And the dairy producers funded this so you know it must be true if they got bad results and had to publish them since clearly I'm sure it's not what they were going for in conducting the study. 

For years now we've been told that coffee and its caffeine should only be enjoyed in moderation because it's unhealthy, then the next week we're told it's healthy, the next week it's' not again! Well, on that roller coaster again is a study that says that coffee may indeed have a health benefit after all–if you consider a longer life a health benefit! 

I'll take it! Enjoy your java this weekend! To Life–longer ones!

It's no secret that I can house about 2 Portobello burgers, a cheese fry and half a strawberry shake on a good night out with my hubby! (Post wedding or vacation, naturally).  Imagine my excitement to learn that they have extra items not on the menu that you can order! The ones most enticing to me are the "Chili" cheese fries or the Grilled cheese, or perhaps the fact that they have pickles you can get on your burger! YUMMMMMM!!

Check out Shake Shack's Secret menu!

In April this year a study was published that showed that basically women who ate berries a couple times a week slowed their cognitive decline by 2.5 years! So toss some berries in the blender in your next morning shake! 

To me this just shows how important eating healthy really is and how we can get our bodies to perform better by a diet high in fruits and veggies!!! Show me a study that says eating cow parts will do this for ya!

Check out these two great articles (here and here) explaining to all you haters why we don't need meat to survive. In fact, based on the anatomy of our bods, we shouldn't even be eating it! Yes, our ancestors did. But we aren't hunter-gatherers anymore and we have plenty of veggies to go around!
