Dear Friends,

It’s such a wonderful day — it’s the 14 year anniversary of the day I became a mother! Today is Hunter’s birthday, and tonight we are going out to celebrate. Our weekend was spent hosting a birthday party for him, and this evening is all about him. That means my regularly scheduled Mediterranean Monday post will be on hold until next week. I didn’t want to leave anyone hanging, so I thought I would let you know why you won’t be seeing any yummy food tonight!

Hunter wants wings for his birthday, so we’re going to a local dive called Pilot House, for wings and barbecue and a steak for Logan. These celebratory occasions call for a break from my normal healthy eating habits. Tonight, I will be enjoying some pulled pork with pimento cheese, and a side of fries. I already know I’ll probably be feeling sluggish afterwards, but I wholeheartedly believe that we must allow ourselves an occasional splurge in order to stay consistent. Life is short, so always make room for things you love!

With that, I leave you with my birthday boy:

 

Love,
Loren

My name is Loren, and if you’re on this page it means you care about your health and living a long and happy life, and that is something we have in common. I’ve been studying diet and health since 2008, when my grandmother was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. I started out wanting to know more about the link between diet and cancer, and it’s turned into a passion that I will carry for the rest of my life. I am certified in holistic nutrition, and I have a degree in journalism from UMass Amherst. Health and Wellness is my beat, as we call it in the world of journalism, and this website is my outlet. My passions are nutrition and cooking, and looking at health from a holistic perspective. After all, you are so much more than just what ails you. You are a whole, living, breathing, dreaming, beautiful human being with a unique personality and individual goals. Your health goes beyond just what you’re eating or how you’re exercising; it encompasses everything that makes up your quality of life. That’s why I write about everything from diet, to recipes, to self-care, to gardening and simple living. Please join me on this health journey!
