Chicken is probably the most boring meats there is. Correction: Chicken is the most underrated meats there is. I’m sure you all know what I mean.

How to Make A Hard boiled Egg Perfectly (Tutorial)
Ah yes… the infamous hard-boiled egg. So simple, yet so insidious, its creamy white and yellow interior hiding dark secrets of difficulty.

How to Make Recipes Dairy Free
Dairy is probably the most debated-about food in the paleo blogosphere. Some say it’s cancer-causing, some say the protein in it is harmful, while others regard raw, grass-fed dairy as a superfood.
