I know it’s almost the 4th of July so most meals should be 100 percent flag cake, BUT maybe we can all get one nutritional meal down this week, maybe.
Vietnamese Steak and Vermicelli Bowl
A very simple assembly. If you can't find birds eye chili for the sauce, don't stress. Get the recipe.
Low-Carb Meatballs Alla Parmigiana
This is a great recipe to make a big batch of, freeze, and then thaw in the oven (under some sauce and cheese) whenever you need a quick dinner. Get the recipe.
Vegetarian Spinach and Pea Fried Rice
Saute scallions and peas; add cooked rice, soy sauce, vinegar and mirin; add spinach and whisk in eggs. Yum. Get the recipe.

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose Coke Zero.
This more or less looks like heaven to you.
If you don't throw your empty cans away for a few days, your workspace will look like this.
Typically, your car will have this in the cup-holders at all times.
And you definitely buy your Coke Zero in bulk at this point.

... if you live under a rock.
As a refresher, here is why this glorious annual tradition happens:
There is no televised or electronic recording allowed inside the Supreme Court.
So when a big decision is going to be handed down, broadcast television interns line up inside the court where the print-outs of the ruling are handed out...

Suárez apologizes for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini, but says the bite was a result of the “collision he suffered with me.”
Uruguayan soccer player Luis Suárez posted this apology Monday for the biting incident that occurred during the Italy vs. Uruguay World Cup match last week:

After several days of being home with my family, I have had the opportunity to regain my calm and reflect about the reality of what occurred during the Italy-Uruguay match on 24 June 2014. Independent from the fallout and the contradicting declarations that have surfaced during these past days, all of which have been without the intention of interfering with the good performance of my national team, the truth is that my colleague Giorgio Chiellini suffered the physical result of a bite in the collision he suffered with me.
For this:
1.I deeply regret what occurred.
2.I apologize to Giorgio Chiellini and the entire football family.
3.I vow to the public that there will never again be another incident like this involving me.
In Montevideo, on 30th june 2014.

Following the incident, FIFA announced that Suarez would be suspended for nine matches and not allowed to participate in any football related activity for four months.
