RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Jen’s Mediterranean Chickpea Salad - I think this salad is better made hours or a day or two ahead of time. I make it on Sunday and eat it for lunch or use it as a salad with whatever we are having for dinner during the week. You can add or take away from this salad as your food preferences allow.
Ingredients
2 cans of chickpeas drained and rinsed
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn (optional)
2 cups of cherry tomatoes
1 cucumber diced
2 bell peppers diced
1 small red onion sliced thin

6-8 ounces feta cheese
Dressing
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons of lemon juice (or the juice of one lemon)
2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard (optional)
1 tablespoon of diced garlic
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
⅓ cup of lightly dried parsley
Instructions:
Whisk together dressing ingredients in a small bowl or add to a mason jar with a lid and shake. Pour over the salad and mix well. Place in the fridge and serve cold.

Migraine sufferers rejoice! There is a NEW medication on the market. Nurtec ODT (rimegepant). This is the first drug of its kind to not only treat acute migraine pain but also helps to prevent further migraines for up to 48 hours. The “3 day migraine” person has to keep taking medications to prevent the headache from returning. By using this medication the hope would be, one dose and no return of the same headache. How cool is that?
Remember; It does not matter if the pain caused the weight or if weight caused the pain. I am here to help. I have put together a free guide with my most helpful tactics and added tracking pages as well. You can download the guide here.
