Here are some tips for taking the stress out and putting the fun back in. Eating at someone else’s home? Interview your host: find out what they are serving and how they cook. Little things can make the ...
Make Thanksgiving Sides The Main Attraction
Ah, Thanksgiving - my favorite holiday. Why? Because it’s all about food, of course! What brings me the most joy is getting people around a table and sharing a meal that celebrates the goodness that Mother Nature has to offer. I am particularly excited this year because I have the pleasure of hosting and will be cooking in my newly remodeled kitchen! Even though Thanksgiving is a traditional meal, with the turkey, cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes, remember that you can make it your own. ...

More Super Stars for Breast Health!
I’m back with another recipe packed full of nutrients for breast health -- this time it has raw veggies, which are cancer choking super stars. Why do I call raw veggies cancer choking? Because we know that oxygen and a healthy PH are cancers’ enemies. When our bodies are too acidic from eating sugar, dairy, animal protein, or refined foods, we set the stage for a slew of ailments, ranging from chronic degenerative diseases to fatigued body to cancer. What we know, thanks to Nobel-prize winning ...

If I had breast cancer, I would eat…
It’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, and as I listen to the statistics of women diagnosed, I ponder the reality that it could happen to me. I can’t help but wonder, what would I do? What power foods would I eat to strengthen my immune system? What I do know is that we have incredible power over our health. Even if there are genetic factors involved, our lifestyle can have an effect on whether or not those genes are expressed. That being said, cancer is a stinker and can appear in even the ...
But You Don’t Look Sick! Living with Celiac Disease
Have you heard the one about the child with a tummy ache? “He wasn’t really sick, he was just nervous.” Or the one about the freshly-baked cookie: “one won’t hurt you!” Having celiac disease or other gastrointestinal disorders often means looking fine while feeling sick. Unlike when you have the flu or hives, where you “look as bad as you feel,” when you have celiac disease and have been “glutened,” you may look outwardly fine while feeling terrible inside. For my family members with ...
Fall is Apple Picking Season!
Crunch! There is nothing better than biting into a crisp apple just picked from the tree. Each fall, I soo look forward to our family fall ritual of apple picking. Our new favorite apple orchard is Honey Pot Hill Orchard. It is a beautiful setting and well laid out, so you don’t realize the crowds. For the little kids there are animals, a hedge maze and their famous hot fresh cinnamon-cider donuts! I have to say that apples are one of my favorite fruits. They are simple, inexpensive, portable ...
Broccoli & Kale Millet Croquettes
This month I’m all about millet. A small yellow grain, millet is the unsung hero of the ancient grain world. Not only is it one of the very oldest cultivated grains, it is also one of the most nutritious, delicious & flexible of cooking grains. Yet few people have ever eaten it. Millet hasn’t enjoyed the fashionable resurgence that quinoa has, yet it has so many fantastic qualities tucked inside. It is naturally gluten-free, a great source of protein, high in fiber, iron, B vitamins & ...

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year to set new goals for my body, mind and spirit.

Here are two of the delicious smoothies you will be drinking - Beet Treat and Raspberry Smoothie. Here’s a preview of What’s in & What’s out: The Simple 7 Foods What They Are & Why You Need Them: 1. ...
