Pesky Pescatarian
Photo by Dana Tentis on Pexels.com I was supposed to be a Pescatarian last year, but that didn’t work out so well. I actually enjoy fish more than other meats such as beef, pork, or lamb. So, you’d think being a Pescatarian would be easy for me, but it wasn’t. I’m a pretty healthy eater, …
