Do you remember back to the days of “Twizzlers” licorice sticks? I sure do. It was a memorable sweet treat we would chew on and share with our friends. Back when I was a youngster I remember my parents bringing me a “goodie box” to camp and it usually had a package of licorice in […]

Avocado Oil
According to my most trusted “health guru” we should think twice before we add Avocado Oil to our shopping baskets. That surprises me as I had the impression that avocado oil was one of the better ones to use for cooking. Here’s why Avocado Oil purity is in question: A report warns that the quality […]
Bone Health
This topic is not something I paid too much attention to over the years. I just assumed that because I was eating healthy I was looking after my bone health. Did I get a big surprise. Not being able to walk and put too much weight load on my bones over the past 12 years […]
TRU-LOCAL
I am back to enjoying organic, free range, poultry, wild fish like salmon, scallops and halibut, and on the very odd occasion I will indulge in a small bit of well reared lean pork or lean beef or lean bison. It’s not easy to find this healthier option of poultry, fish and meat at your […]
Watermelon
Summer is coming. What fruit is there on our planet that stands out as a “summer treat” like WATERMELON? Thinking about watermelon brings me back to my childhood.

Celery
Celery is a veggie that doesn’t stand out in the average households vegetable intake. Celery shows up on a veggie and dip tray but where else do we see celery in our day to day food life. I tend to only reach for the celery when I’m making tuna or salmon salad for sandwiches. It’s […]
Sweet Potatoes
I’m revisiting a topic I have written about in the past. Why? Because I love sweet potatoes and they love us! They deserve to be given added attention because they provide us with such good nutrition. Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins and minerals our bodies require. They are also a very good source of […]
Tea is so good!
I’m going to start this post off by saying that I use to drink about 6 cups of green tea a day. Now I’ve fallen back into the organic coffee habit but I still try to incorporate herbal and green tea into my day somewhere…somehow. Tea…many different kinds….so good for us….so healing….so stimulating….metabolism booster…digestive aid…anti-inflammatory…the […]
