Seeing that I spend a lot of time online for my job, I thought it would be fun to share some links to the good reads and inspiring ideas that I come across each week.

They are a powerful protein source that doesn't require you to fire up the grill. They can be added to any kind of salad. They can quickly turn into easy dinners like quesadillas and enchiladas.
