Well, I shouldn’t wholeheartedly endorse a book I haven’t finished reading yet, but I’m going to go out on a limb and do it anyway. Most of the main points that Dr. Perlmutter advocates are things I’ve been convicted of for a long time. I am re-wracked (is that a word?) with guilt knowing that we have … More Going out on a limb here…
Isn’t it strange how every now and then you come across something that just totally confirms what you were just thinking??

I was chatting with a new acquaintance recently…an attractive, outgoing woman who owns a coffee/chocolate/cigar shop…when she casually mentioned 1) that she was undergoing chemo and 2) that she was much older than I would have guessed. When I was obviously shocked, she said “I don’t believe in age”. Wow. I’m still pondering that one. … More We can all take a lesson from these ladies…
Well, you may have noticed that we’ve been gone for a while. A scary health episode in the family, preparing to travel, actual travel…all these life things and more took us away from being able to write about a healthy life, which we love.

My morning … More Make friends with apple cider vinegar!
Enjoyed this great Huffington Post article this morning on life lessons surfing teaches you. I’ve always been slightly intrigued by the idea of surfing, but have never quite worked up the guts to try it. If I did, I’m sure I could write a lengthy article entitled ‘The 120 Most Humiliating Ways to Fall Off … More Can I get all my life lessons from surfing?
If you don’t immediately feel suspicious of any food that can claim to be a complete meal and cost less than a quarter, you should.

I am speechless after reading the article in EatLocalGrown about the Southern California family that produces 6,000 pounds of produce…in their backyard on a 1/10 acre lot! I watched the video and I’m still dumbstruck. I have tried raised bed and container gardening and I have not had such a bountiful yield for my efforts. Likewise, … More 6,000 pounds of produce in your back yard?
I know…this is my second cauliflower bread recipe in recent memory, but you’ve just gotta try these! So cute, no gluten and only about 25 calories each! The addition of some different spices could change these up a little and I’m wondering what would happen if you left out the garlic, substituted cream cheese or … More No-flour biscuits? Life is complete!
