It’s bedtime. We love bedtime. After a busy day (what’s new), we’re tired and ready to fall into a deep, well-earned sleep. Two hours later, and we’re still struggling to fall asleep. When we finally do fall asleep, we wake up several times throughout the night. What gives?!Â

Well, you may be experiencing bloating because of perimenopause ...
We love salmon. It’s moist, rich, and so full of flavor.
Even better now that we’re in the middle of wild Alaskan salmon season. But the season will be over before we know it (usually beginning of October), so get some while the getting is good!
