When I went back to work, I had a long-time client introduce me to a list they made while I was gone of “Can’t Be Bothered Meals.” These were meals they had came up with for when they had low energy, low mood, or just low interest in food.

It's perfect for an afternoon snack, a summer get-together, or even spooned over yogurt or oatmeal for breakfa

When building my website, I started with a few templates for “cooking classes” and it took me hours to go through and remove the word healthy from all the different places it was pre-loaded.
