Angelina College vs. Houston Christian University – Two Brothers in Competition

Today is a special day, being the first time our sons, Gabriel and Marcos, competed against each other in an official soccer match at Houston Christian University.  To me, it didn’t really matter which team won.  It was just great to see both playing on the same field at the same time, competing.  It was also the first official game for Marcos to play after a long 3-year wait after two major ACL injuries.

Delicious Gluten Free Waffle Recipe

This morning my wife surprised me by making a Gluten Free Waffle that was healthy and absolutely delicious at the same time.

This was a nice change because lately I’ve been eating eggs with sardines every single day.  Although this is a powerhouse superfood breakfast, you can get tired of it on such a regular basis.

I use the Herbalife Protein Baked Goods Mix (I don’t sell Herbalife, I just like some of their products).  This is the key for this recipe being gluten free.

Give it try.  It’s easy to make, quick, and delicious.  Just add a little honey and a few rasberries for a little natural sweetness.

A Simple Upgrade to My Daily Coffee Ritual

One of my favorite daily rituals is enjoying a really good cup of coffee—and lately, I’ve been loving the combination of organic Brazilian coffee with Laird Superfood Creamer (Sweet & Creamy). It’s become a simple, healthy upgrade that genuinely makes my coffee experience better.

What I appreciate most about Laird Superfood Creamer is the quality of the ingredients. It’s made with nutrient-dense, coconut-based ingredients and contains no artificial additives, no preservatives, no seed oils, and no artificial or “natural” flavors. That matters to me, especially when something becomes part of a daily habit.

From a nutrition standpoint, it’s a win. The creamer provides a clean, natural energy boost without relying on questionable ingredients. It contains only 1 gram of sugar, so there’s no need for stevia or other sweeteners—the flavor is already balanced, smooth, and satisfying. The creamer enhances the coffee rather than overpowering it, creating a rich and enjoyable cup every time.

This combination can also fit well into a heart-healthy lifestyle, including for individuals recovering from a cardiac event, like me (with their doctor’s approval). The key is moderation—limiting intake to one cup per day. Organic coffee is naturally rich in polyphenols, powerful plant compounds that support brain health, cognition, and mental focus, while helping reduce oxidative stress in the body. When paired with a clean, coconut-based creamer like Laird Superfood—free from inflammatory seed oils and artificial ingredients—you get a gentler, smoother coffee experience that supports both heart and brain health.

And let’s talk practicality—this couldn’t be easier.
👉 Brew a cup of coffee
👉 Add one spoonful of the creamer
👉 Done

Easy peasy.

The best part? It tastes absolutely great. Smooth, creamy, lightly sweet, and deeply satisfying. Paired with organic Brazilian coffee, it feels like a café-quality cup made right at home.

Another bonus: it’s widely available at most grocery stores, costs under $10, and one package provides about 113 servings, making it both economical and convenient.

If you’re looking for a simple way to make your daily coffee healthier, more enjoyable, and still incredibly practical, this is one small habit that delivers big rewards—one great cup at a time.
