Give That Turkey Some Flavor
Approaching the end of the year involves celebrating two major holidays that involve a lot of eating; Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. I have always considered Thanksgiving the holiday that focuses more on families coming together to celebrate through feasting. Throughout many centuries, it has become the norm for families to celebrate Thanksgiving Day by feasting on a baked or roasted turkey, served with dressing and all the fixings. No one really knows when or how turkey became the traditional meat for Thanksgiving holiday. But there is speculation that years ago many believed that serving the biggest bird, turkey, meant that that person was wealthy. I find it interesting to have learned that turkeys are called “turkey” because they are supplied to England from America, through a country called Turkey.

Are Shopping List Apps Really Worth the Effort?
"I got bread!" Hubby calls as he comes in from work."Um...I also got bread. Did you get avocados?""No, I only went to the garage, they don't have avocados.""I thought you were doing a supermarket shop on your way home?" I say, puzzled."I was going to," he says, "but then I remembered that you often swing by the market on a Wednesday, so I thought you'd get some there. Didn't want to end up with double avocados, like last week."

Food Photography on Instagram
Instagram is the best marketing tool to develop your brand and to reach out to a wider audience. By being constantly active and giving your followers an insight of who you are through Instagram stories there is no better social media platform to develop your brand image whether you're a blogger, public figure or Youtuber. Within the last two months my Instagram following grew by 64 percent due to my on-going activity and frequent content publishing. However posting pictures from famous cafes and restaurants in London of my meals is what drew in my followers. When I first started Instagram two years ago, my inspiration was to have a profile of the best meals in London by posting pictures of my meals. Still to this day my inspiration remains the same but with a different take to it. I want to showcase the best food photography within London's most iconic place such as Waldorf and the Ritz and make London the place to be for all my international followers. Now to do this, I thought you needed a professional camera that cost over £1000 but all I needed was Instagram filters. My my phone has a low quality camera with terrible pixels when you zoom in and out. But Instagram filters saved my Instagram following from 32 profile visits to 340 a week. All I needed to do was to take the photos at the perfect angle then rely on Instagram to do the rest. So here are a few tips into how to take the perfect meal photos to generate new followers.

Non-Meat Sources of Vitamin D
Americans have an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency, especially among women. An estimated 3 million people in the U.S. are deficient in vitamin D. Some of that difference can be attributed to people spending less time outside as exposure to UV light helps with vitamin D production. Increasingly processed diets also contribute to this deficiency. Unfortunately for vegetarians and vegans, the majority of sources of quality vitamin D are animal-based, so it’s important to add non-meat vitamin D sources of food to your diet.
