Lunch is the meal that many people often overlook. This might be because lunch food has the stereotype of being boring and bland and most people don't have the time to make a lunch in the middle of the day.

For me, there are three components I look for in any recipe, especially a lunch recipe. First it has to be quick, second it has to be healthy, and lastly, it has to be delicious. If a recipe has these three things then it passes my recipe test.

This recipe below passes the test for me by having all three of these components. Loaded sweet potatoes are healthy, quick, and delicious. These sweet potatoes are loaded with, spinach, avocado, chickpeas, and sprinkled with feta cheese.

All of these foods are healthy and all you have to do is throw everything into the sweet potato and enjoy, it's seriously that simple and even more delicious!

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1/2 Sweet Potato

1/2 Avocado

Handful of Spinach

Sprinkle of Feta

Cilantro

Lemon/Lime

Salt/Pepper

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 400 F

2) Put the sweet potatoes on a sheet pan and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes. Then let them cool before slicing. (baking the sweet potatoes does take a little longer, I suggest prepping a few on a Sunday, so you have the week to use them)

3) Rinse and drain 1 can of chickpeas, and spread them onto a baking sheet. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Bake for 15 mins (I also advise doing this step in advance/you don't have to roast your chickpeas, but it adds for an extra delicious crunch)

4) Add spinach (you can sauté it if you want!), sliced avocado, crispy chickpeas, sprinkle feta cheese, garnish with cilantro, and add lemon & lime, salt & pepper all to taste!

4) Enjoy!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
