Happy Sunday, friends! I just got back from a Taste Tour of Grand Rapids, Michigan with a few food blogger friends. I’m still<\/em> stuffed. We took a tour of the Grand Rapids Art Museum and got a behind-the-scenes look at the completely awe-inspiring\u00a0Iris Van Herpen fashion exhibit<\/a>; we toured Founders Brewing Company<\/a>; and we even<\/em>\u00a0went out dancing. More on this trip soon!<\/p>\n Now, I’m looking forward to a shorter week before Daniel and I head home to Massachusetts for Thanksgiving. Last year Daniel’s family and my family began celebrating the holiday together, and\u00a0I absolutely love that. I can’t wait until we have our own home to host it\u2014hopefully next year! I’ll live to regret this eagerness, right? :)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n How was your week? xo<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n How to Boost Self-Esteem in Teenage Girls<\/a> | Mother<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for any recipe for friends or family members with special dietary needs, check out Danielle Walker\u2019s Against All Grain Celebrations: A Year of Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, and Paleo Recipes for Every Occasion<\/a>.

\n\u201cI just have to be very clear,\u201d [Metz] says. \u201cWhether or not I lose weight or stay the same, it\u2019s purely a choice of mine for health. Not because I think that plus size, curvy, voluptuous, big bodies aren\u2019t attractive \u2014 because I think they\u2019re awesome and sexy…So I\u2019ll just have to make sure that\u2019s known, because I\u2019m not selling out the big girls.\u201d She laughs. \u201cI don\u2019t do that. That\u2019s not me.\u201d<\/p>\n
