Here’s a recap of the best health and fitness articles I’ve read over the past week.
Spicy Taco Flavored Kale Chips
A coworker sent this to me but I haven’t tried it yet. I love plain ol’ homemade kale chips using olive oil, salt and sometimes cayenne, so I’m sure I’ll love these. Very gourmet!
My Unexpected Journey into PubMed
If you love doing research and if you’ve ever thought about trying to get a study published, there are some helpful tips for first-timers here.

Spybike and Spylamp bicycle GPS trackers
