ELIZA LANGE : Bio I was born in Salt Lake City Utah. I lived there for about a year. Then my family moved to a small apartment in South Pasadena California, so that my Dad could attend business school at SCU. I attended preschool there. I don’t remember much because I was young. What I do remember though, is our bright green, hallway kitchen and the big pink trees that lined the street in the spring.

We only lived there for the three years. When I was four, my little sister was born. The apartment became cramped and my Dad got a job at the Limited. So, we moved across the states to Ohio. My mom thought we’d only live in Ohio for a couple of years, but; we’re still here. I’ve lived in Ohio since kindergarten. It’s where I’ve grown up. The freezing icy winters we endure and the boiling hot summers we escape. My family are the most important people in my life. My parents are awesome. Unlike most teenagers, I happen to get along with them. I look up to my older sister, Hannah. Only seventeen months apart, we’re close; and I’m taller. She is currently a freshman at BYU, majoring in recreation management. My little sister Grace is thirteen. Born Californian, raised Ohioan and the resident genius in the family because she’s good at math. She’s currently trying to survive Junior High. Then there’s my little brother Tanner, who’s nine. He’s the sibling I get along with the least, but my Dad says that it’s because we are the most alike. Overall, we all talk over one another; we think that we are funny, and they are the people I feel the most comfortable around. In five years I want to be a return missionary, close to graduating college. For college, I want to join my sister at BYU and hopefully make it into their Art program for Graphic design. Art for me is an escape and it is my thing. It is the thing that I understand, that I’m good at, and I enjoy. Something interesting about me, is I have a special love for sugar and peanut butter. 1

Is Almond Butter Better Than Peanut Butter? Both nut butters can potentially be healthy and nutritious. There are a few factors to consider when choosing between almond butter and peanut butter.

For the healthiest options, you want nut butters that have undergone minimal heat processing and with little to no added ingredients.
