Fit Fare

Readers, you deserve the truth.
Since the birth of my second child in September, (I will be brutally honest here) I have not followed the principles of healthy eating that Fit Fare promotes to everyone on the internet.
I know what you are thinking. How can I trust this writer, touting how great healthy eating is when […]

The other day I stumbled across a cool recipe website called Allergycooks. As you may have guessed, the site caters to food allergies, though they are a bit more dedicated than most. All of the recipes from Allergycooks are free from wheat, egg and dairy products. The site is based out of the […]

What’s hot this winter? Pomegranates. Eat them fresh, add them to a salad, drink the juice, or wash your skin with pomegranate soap; it is everywhere. Pomegranates have actually been hot for some time now. That’s because few foods provide as many health benefits.
Pomegranate seeds– tiny brilliant red rubies– pack a sweet tart punch. They’re […]

There was a time, not so long ago, when not having cereal at breakfast seemed to put a damper on the rest of my day. Even after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I refused to give up my favorite breakfast food and simply made the switch to whole-grain cereals.But a year ago, I started […]
