Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
I had come across Whole30 a while back and dismissed it out of hand as being one of those crazy radical extreme diets I always swore I’d never do. In late July, I saw a fashion blogger I follow, Wardrobe Oxygen, was doing it, and I was intrigued again. I went to the Whole30 site...
So let’s just cut right to the chase here, shall we? That’s a screen-grab from my Weight Watchers tracker showing my weight loss for week 1 of my Foodie Magazine “Diet” Challenge! (If you missed what we’re talking about, check out the original Foodie Magazine “Diet” post here.)

But if you’re making your own snacks, it’s easy to fall into a rut. So I’ve...
