Who doesn’t like mushrooms? They are so tasty and can be prepared in so many ways and added to so many recipes…from soups, stews, salads, pizza, burger toppings, side dishes etc. There are so many good edible mushrooms to choose from…button, oyster, portobello, shiitake, cremini, king, enoki, etc. For the purpose of this post I […]

MAGNESIUM!
I’ve written about magnesium citrate and magnesium stearate….both very different topics. This post is about the mineral “magnesium” and how important it is to the functioning of so many systems in our bodies as well as what symptoms you may experience if you are at a deficiency. Magnesium is involved in at least 300 chemical […]
Ghee….A healthy fat!
I know that I have posted about Ghee before but I like to revisit topics for my benefit and yours. Ghee is a staple in my home. I love it. I cook with it. I even melt it and put it on my (rare) bowl of organic popcorn. Yummy. Ghee is very much butter but […]
Fennel Tea
I love my tea. I have an herbal tea every evening after dinner to aid with digestion. I have always used ginger tea as my digestive tea but recently I was introduced to Fennel Tea. There are many medicinal qualities to fennel tea. It is loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants….all health boosting. Drinking fennel […]
Brain Food
When we choose our foods for the day do we ever consider our brain health as part of the big picture. Probably not. We think about our cravings and our immediate gratification.. right? Some of us may think about our waistline and our overall health but rarely do we choose a food because it is […]
The CLEAN 15!
Last weeks post was all about going organic when selecting fruits, veggies, milk and meats. Many conventional foods in these categories carry toxic amounts of pesticides, fungicides and herbicide residues that are carcinogenic to our bodies. The glyphosate has now been proven to contribute to the big “C”. I know that organic produce and meats […]
Going Organic!
I’ve been eating “organic” food for at least 25 years now. I’ve written about this very topic before but I will revisit now as it’s worth a conversation. Especially in light of the news that scientists have proven that glysophate sprayed on crops is a carcinogen. It causes the big C. Switching to organic at […]
SALAD SEASON
Summer is here and with this awesome season of sunshine, green grass and fresh fruit and veggies comes “SALAD SEASON”. Salads are easy and the possibilities are endless as to what you can add to your greens. I always buy organic greens such as spinach, arugula, mixed greens, baby kale, romaine, and butter lettuce. I […]
Raw vs. Cooked Spinach
Good question right? Do you know the answer to this. I did not know but was in a situation that caused me to research this very topic. I had a large package of raw organic spinach in my fridge this week that was at it’s “best before date”. I knew that we were not going […]
Coffee…has become my “drug” of choice!
Yes, that is correct. I am back to drinking coffee after about 25 years of consuming green tea as my “caffeine” fix. Coffee has taken prominence in my day. I am really enjoying a couple of cups of coffee each day. Meeting socially around a cup of coffee…taking an afternoon break from whatever my sweetie […]
