Best Places to Brunch
The best places to brunch are those where you can meet with friends (or family!) to recharge after a long week and mentally prepare for the upcoming one. It’s a brief respite in the busy rhythm of our daily lives, where you can stop and sip the mimosas and load up on sugary sweet french toast delights or savory bacon and egg concoctions. It's also a great place to cure a hangover (cue the bottomless mimosas and spicy bloody marys!) or get a little boozy before another dreary Monday rolls around.

Can Some Food Actually Make You Hungrier?
If some foods can make you hungrier than before, than what's the point of dieting? According to a study done in 2012, 52 percent of Americans believed doing their taxes was easier than figuring out how to eat healthy. That makes selecting the nearly 2,000 pounds of food Americans eat each year more of a challenge than a basic chore. In addition to figuring out what to eat, some would argue that figuring out the best times to eat specific items to power yourself throughout the day is a hassle. These days, it seems like there are caveats in place warning of the pitfalls for every food group–even fruit, which we are recommended to eat as many as, but NOT more than, four servings daily. While that is surprising, there are some foods that have been on the list of food no-nos for years. These foods are tasty entering the mouth but they add no nutritional value, and can seriously damage both your waistline and quality of life. Some food has been proven to make you hungrier, completely opposite its intended effect of curbing your hunger pains. That has a lot to do with salt and sugar content, whether naturally occurring or added to a food for enhanced flavor.
