Happy Monday, guys! Today marks the day that Jen and I were to give our final challenge recaps and reflections.  Since it just doesn’t feel right to relish the culmination of this 2-month journey while my partner is in mourning, I am foregoing the recap.  Thank you so much to everyone who supported Jen and [...]

Trader Joe’s “Righteous Rounds: Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Healthy Dose of Good-For-You Ingredients” Five (5) cookies (they are the size of a silver dollar, so pretty [...]
