What exactly does it mean to be “forever young”? When I was in my 20s, I thought it meant staying wrinkle-free and doing cartwheels until I was 100. When I was in my 30s, it meant I wouldn’t gain those extra pounds every time I merely looked at a slice of cake, and also remembering Continue Reading
My favorite new foods at Expo West 2016
Picking my favorite new foods at Expo West was so much fun! There were literally hundreds of exhibitors giving away samples of their foods at this show. So it was no easy task to pick my favorites. It helped that I narrowed the field by only sampling vegan foods and selecting items that had what Continue Reading
Spicy Mustard Recipe – So Easy to Make
Peter and I love a good mustard, especially the spicy kind. We aren’t especially fond of the store-bought brands because they are often in plastic bottles and who knows how long they’ve been sitting on the shelves. Plus, most of the brands we’ve tried are kinda tasteless. They don’t have enough zing. A few months Continue Reading

WAIT! Don’t pull that weed… it’s good for you!
When I was young I remember driving past a neighbor’s house and hearing someone in the car make a tsk-tsk-tsk sound.

“Brush your teeth at least twice a day.” “Floss regularly.” “Don’t eat too many sweets.” We’ve all heard these words of wisdom about dental health, but how many of us really follow them? When I was at the holistic dentist having my teeth cleaned the other day, the hygienist told me that some people claim Continue Reading
Which fruits and veggies should you buy in the organic section?
Every year the Environmental Working Group updates its list for the Dirty Dozen™ & Clean Fifteen™.

We enjoy growing lots of our own produce here Continue Reading
