Don’t let the “cheese” in cottage cheese deter you from this healthy superfood! If your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, and improve your metabolism, it’s time to stock up on cottage cheese.

Cottage cheese offers loads of health benefits. It’s packed with nutrients, convenient to eat, and keeps you feeling full for long periods of time thanks to being high in protein. It also boosts your immunity and improves overall bodily function.

The microwave was my mom’s favorite go-to kitchen appliance when we were growing up. We used it several times a day to heat up stuff like frozen burritos, leftovers, canned veggies, and water for tea.

I always felt a sense of dread in my belly when using the microwave, because nothing that came out of it ever tasted good. I’ve never understood how people can devour leftover pizza after heating it in the microwave, which turns it into soft, floppy goo. Why would you want that?

It wasn’t until years later as an adult that I finally learned about how terrible microwaves are for your food and nutrition.

Earlier today, I went to Mr. Tofu, my favorite Korean restaurant in Las Vegas, for a seafood (Soon) tofu soup loaded with shrimp, clams, and mussels. This Asian eatery serves its tofu bowls with fresh kimchi and rice on the side, and sometimes they bring out little small plates. When the soup comes, you put a small amount of rice on your spoon, then dip it into the soup.

The food at this restaurant is always incredibly fresh, high in quality, and absolutely delicious! Another reason I continue eating here is the fact this restaurant serves clean rice. What is clean rice, you ask?

Clean rice is rice that has been rinsed thoroughly before cooking. If you eat lots of rice, you can tell when it has been cleaned, and when it hasn’t. I won’t say where, but I’ve eaten at plenty of restaurants that serve unwashed rice, and I won’t be eating at those places again.
