Hummus is one of those must-have things that is always in my refrigerator and I put it on just about… everything. Vegetables, rice cakes, meat, rice, my spoon. It’s quick, filling, and so good.

Nike recently updated their Nike Training Club (which I will refer to as NTC) and now it´s even better than before. It has a new design, new abilities, and just works so much better. I loved it before, but now it has so many more options and functions that it didn´t have. Here are five […]
And you can, too! Because it´s easy! I have made strawberry jam before (a long time ago), but that time I didn´t can it and I used pectin. This time I didn´t use pectin and I canned it. Step one: Find a recipe. I followed this recipe and this recipe, and kind of did a […]
