DEXA Scan Body Composition (review)
I was recently approached with the opportunity to get a free DEXA body composition test from DEXA SCAN. A DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is the gold standard for body composition testing. I've actually been very curious to get this done ...
Smoky Chipotle Black Bean Burgers
I know that beans as a whole may not generate a ton of initial foodie excitement, but they really should. Beans are versatile, cheap, and you can add them to a ton of dishes to boost the nutritional value. Per ...

Bacon & Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo made with Spaghetti Squash
If you haven't ever tried spaghetti squash, or swore you would never replace your beloved pasta noodles with a vegetable, I beg you to give this spaghetti squash fettuccine alfredo recipe a try. It's not often that I feel like ...
Chicken Burrito Bowls
