Who else loooooved orange chicken growing up?! (Or maybe you do now…) I haven’t gotten Chinese takeout in a long time, but I’ll never forget the taste of that sticky orange chicken.
Sweet, sticky, and oh-so-flavorful. It was delicious at the time, but I cringe when I even try to think about what it was made from. All I know is that nothing is that sticky without gluten…

This 15-minute HIIT workout is a great way to break a full-body sweat when you’re short on time. No equipment is needed – just your bodyweight! You can do this on travel, in your room, or anywhere you’re caught without a gym. Even though HIIT workouts are short, they are intense. You shouldn’t be able to go longer than 15 minutes. I don’t recommend doing HIIT more than once or twice a week for most people, if that.

Sometimes we mentally / emotionally crave foods just because we want them, and sometimes we crave foods because we’re eating too much of something, but food cravings are often an important indicator of which nutrients your body might be deficient in. When the body is missing something, it can trigger cravings for certain foods so that you’ll get more of that nutrient. Unfortunately, these cravings aren’t always for the healthiest form of that nutrient. Use this guide the next time you have a craving to figure out what nutrient you might be missing, and how you can find it in healthier foods!

All you’ll need for this upper body workout is a set of dumbbells! The heavier your dumbbells are, the less reps you’ll need to do for each exercise.
Adjust the rep ranges to your fitness level, and make sure that you’re doing each rep with proper form. If your form breaks down, you’re doing too many reps! Stop 1-2 reps before fatigue. Make sure you warm up / prime your body before getting started.

Have you heard of MOFONGO?! Well, if not, now you have! Mofongo is a traditional Puerto Rican dish made from deep-fried plantains mashed and mixed with other ingredients. I’m sure you can imagine that mofongo isn’t usually the healthiest option out there – gotta watch out for anything deep-fried!
This recipe, however, is a paleo twist on the traditional dish, so you can have your fried plantains without the inflammatory oils! Instead of industrial seed oils that can cause inflammation in the body, good ole’ olive oil will do the trick in this recipe, and it makes the dish taste even more flavorful.
