For years, I chalked up my constant hunger and love for red meat to a fast metabolism—maybe even an overactive imagination. My mom, on the other hand, had a more… creative theory: a lintworm was living inside me, stealing all my nutrients. (Spoiler: no lintworm.)
What I did discover was far more interesting. My blood type—O negative—holds real clues about why my body thrives on animal protein. But how do you know if your cravings are trying to tell you something too?
It’s frankly a crime that my American friends never introduced me to the Sloppy Joe sooner. This humble, meaty mess of a sandwich just went straight to my heart—and my blood type O-negative belly sang hallelujah. It’s not just food, it’s medicine disguised as a comfort classic, especially in my luteal phase, when I crave grounding, iron-rich, serotonin-boosting goodness. Join me as I break down why this All-American dish deserves a spot in my regular rotation, how it supports my hormonal flow, and how food can flirt with your soul when it’s made with intention. Yes, this is a love story.
This is my healthy twist on a classic American banana bread recipe—moist, rich, and filled with nourishing goodness. Made with almond flour, juicy blueberries, sweet dates, and melty chocolate chips, it’s the ultimate cozy bake for a slow Sunday. Naturally sweet and gluten-free, this banana bread is one of my favorite comfort foods from the USA (and you can find more of my American favorites on my USA page). Whether you’re craving something wholesome or just need a feel-good treat, this loaf is guaranteed to disappear fast.
