The Queen’s Gambit. Most people know it today, or first think of it, as the wildly successful Netflix series. However, it came from a novel by Walter Tevis, with the author worth mentioning because there are numerous “Queen’s Gambit” novels out there.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Part 1 of 3)
I’m constantly changing things in my life, usually for a good reason rather than a random one, or just randomly. it not only keeps things interesting with new things to try, but fun, and good for the mindset.

Definition: Plant-forward Diet (or Plant-centric Diet)
Plant-forward Diet
Plant-forward is a style of cooking and eating that emphasizes plant-based foods but is not strictly limited to them. Meat may be included but it’s usually not the main feature of the meal. A plant-forward diet is one that is plant-forward, also sometimes referred to as plant-centric.

For North Americans, this means eating 84 per cent less red meat and six times more legumes (e.g. beans and lentils)
