This post is sponsored by Milk. Love Whats Real, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. At the beginning of every year, I feature a New Year’s Swap. Something small that I am swapping out for a more conscientious option. For example, swapping a breakfast donut for a bowl of oatmeal. Or swapping a streamed episode on the couch with a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. Little changes can make a big impact. But there is one swap I will not be making… I will not be replacing the real milks in my refrigerator. Seriously, why …

The Resolution Fish Swap

updated on 27 Comments on The Resolution Fish Swap

We are almost two weeks into the new year and resolutions are already beginning to slip. Gym visits are down, abstaining from sweets is no longer a great idea, and overall morale is starting to decline. And the question remains… is it possible to keep a new year’s resolution?! With the help of Gorton’s Seafood, I am going to let you in on my secret to promises kept: the resolution fish swap! The problem with most resolutions are that they are practically unobtainable. Most goals are overly strict, lofty, and unrealistic. That is why I make little resolutions to swap …

Photo by Adam Jaime on Unsplash It’s not always easy to be interested in the things you drink. Sometimes you just have a drink because you’re thirsty and you’re not that interested in what it tastes like. Other times, you can get bored of drinking the same things again and again. Perhaps you’ve had enough of soda or you’re fed up with orange juice or coffee. But when you’re not sure what the alternatives are, you can struggle to feel inspired to make a change. If you want your drinks to be more exciting, but without necessarily having to put in too much …

This post is a collaboration with Beef Loving Texans on behalf of the Beef Checkoff. I received compensation, but all opinions are my own. If there is one thing that I have learned from living all over the country, it is that each region has their foodie specialty.
