know you've all gotten used to Fitness Friday over the last year. I'm sad to say that those great fitness tips and stories have come to an end. Christine will no longer be writing for us at Outnumbered 3 to 1. She is a very busy woman and needs to spend more time with her family. While we can all certainly relate, she will be sorely missed

Today we have a guest post from David Ingram, a content writer for Focus Training. When he isn't writing about fitness he enjoys running 3 times a week in preparation for the Leeds 10k run.

love soup. I know, it's a big statement. There is this little cafe downstairs from my day-job office. They are friendly, and they make a good cup of tea and they have soup at lunch….$8.50 soup. It does come with lovely bread, but really, $8.50? It is not any more expensive, and is actually at times cheaper, than any of the other cafes around

Since my Sriracha Avocado Chickpea Salad was a surprise hit I thought I'd share another easy recipe. This time I've got some Avocado Chili Bean Veggie Burgers that are perfect for the holiday weekend.

This time of year the stores are filled with gorgeous potted tulips of all kinds in preparation of Easter, and their cheap, like $2 cheap. I love tulips, and I love to have them

There are so many projects that we can do with our kids that show them about how the world works. Planting seeds is a fun project to do in the spring and can also be a fantastic Earth Day craft in April. April is a great time to plant seeds since the weather is finally (hopefully) warm. With this craft for kids you will be able to plant seeds indoors so they germinate in the warmth of your house

Who doesn't love fried rice? It's a classic Chinese take out side that no one can resist! This time around we are making it healthier by swapping out the white rice with brown, omitting the ham and packing in the veggies. You get a veggie overload in this rice and you are going to love it! And it's so filling that you could even count this as your main dish instead of just a side. If you really wanted to you could even dice up some chicken breasts into small pieces and cook those in the wok first, set them aside and then add them back in when you add the rice. It's so good as it is though that is really doesn't need any thing else added

In an attempt to disprove the rumor that I only cook things that cause people to gain fifteen pounds just by looking at them, I thought it might be a good time to post the recipe for vegetable paella. It's something that I learned to make while I lived in Spain in high school. Alexis loves it more than just about anything else I conjure up for dinner, so hopefully someday I'll be able to sit on the couch, snap my fingers, and have her cook it while I pick my nose or something.

have been living with type 1 diabetes since I was 13 years old. The last time I visited my home state, Ohio (GO BUCKS), I had a chance to meet the only other member of my extended family who is also diabetic.

Infused with the culture and landscapes of their mainland neighbours, these islands boast everything from glaciers, to abseilling for the adrenalin junkie and white sandy beaches for those who seek the

wasn't even planning on making these for this weeks blog post - you were suppose to get Jerk String Beans with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce - don't worry you'll get those soon - and they are going to be worth the wait. I always have an idea of what I want to share with you, but sometimes I get inspired and end up filing away the other recipe for the future. I'm glad I did this time, this recipe will knock your socks off.

Who has time to hand water the garden? Standing there with the hose in hand, one's mind drifts to all the other things that need doing. And as the mental list of chores lengthens, I find myself wiggling the hose to make it water faster (it doesn't!). There are smarter, more efficient ways of getting this mundane task accomplished, of course. - See more at: http://learn.eartheasy.com/2015/05/7-reasons-to-hand-water-your-garden/#sthash.kNpeSddz.dpuf

you would like to have fresh salads in your kitchen all the time, without having to spend money on them, you should create this vertical salad planter. The cool thing about this planter is that it doesn't occupy a lot of space and you can place it almost anywhere in your garden. The planter will have removable shelves, so you can move the plants from one place to the other and even leave more space for others that require a larger area in order to grow. You will need pieces of wood that need to be assembled in the shape of the planter from the pictures. You can buy pre-cut wood, so it will be easier to work with it that way. Once you are ready, you can start growing your own lettuce and even strawberries if you want, as vertical planters

After I made this the other day I realized I wasn't sure of it's appropriateness for this time of year. This might sound like a weird thing to say about soup, but it's rather summery. Yeah, I know lots of people aren't big on a hot bowl of spicy broth in the warmer months, but in this case I think the tomatoes, lime and cilantro make this a soup of the more refreshing variety

Bone broth has been written about in almost every major publication from the New York Times to the Huffington Post. It's a nutritious stock that can take up to two days to make. But lucky for those of us who don't have two days to spend making broth, Pacific Foods offers an entire line of organic bone broths that you

Sometimes fact can be stranger than fiction and that certainly was the case these 10 times TV shows predicted the future. From Google Glass to 9/11 we watched the future act out on our silver screens as scarily accurate predictions.

If you're a bento fan and will be in Kyoto between April 22nd to May 11th, please stop by LOFT's Lunch Market, which is a department dedicated to bentos and lunch boxes. They'll have a big display for the Just Bento Cookbook during that time! The objective is to introduce the wonderful world of bentos to the international visitors that come to Kyoto in the spring. I'm really honored that they are using my book as the centerpiece of that event. I wish I could be there in person...but, I'll be there in spirit!
