The week of least effort…
December 12, 2011 Cinzia Cuneo 2 Comments
It’s that time of year again: We have a million things to do before Christmas, and very little time to do it all in. To lend a helping hand, I’ve concocted a “lazy” menu for you this week:

The number of people with dietary restrictions in our circle of family and friends is increasing by the day.

It’s the start of another academic year. Five days a week until the Christmas break, many of us will be haunted by this eternal question: What do I put in the lunch box?
Start the New Year Off on the Right Foot

After tucking in to grandma’s meat pies, your aunt’s stew, a piece of Christmas log cake as well as some other holiday feasts – it will probably not come as a surprise when you step on the scale and the needle has jumped slightly.
