I’m not certain of anyone who doesn’t have some sort of continuing stress in their lives. Whether it be work-related, family-related, or health-related, it is hard to believe that anyone does not experience some level of stress in their daily lives.
With economic times as they are, ever-increasing reports of layoffs ensue. Those sort […]

I’ll admit it, I’m a yogurt snob. I’m picky about my yogurt. There I said it. Not just any yogurt will do. When I made a decision to live a more healthful life, yogurt started playing a big part in my new nutrition plan. I tried many kinds of yogurts to make sure I got […]

How fabulous is spring? The warm weather, budding trees and longer days all make me happy, but I think that of all the great things about spring, asparagus is my absolute favorite.After months of gooey winter squash and carb-loaded dishes, I love the fresh crunch of lightly sauteed asparagus. It’s a tasty way to ease […]

It is very light and perfect for those warm […]

To be honest, I had quite the pessimistic attitude when I first came upon these little pouches of fruit by Peeled Snacks. Packaged dried fruit, so what is new? It is just dried fruit, so simple, no wow factor … but to my complete surprise so [counter] revolutionary.
I used to be an avid dried […]

If you push yourself like I do when working out, sometimes you’re going to end up injured (or at least incredibly sore). I run three days a week, as well as use the elliptical and lift weights four days a week. I don’t often ‘take it easy’ during a workout, and while my schedule has […]

 I never liked milk. My parents made me drink it when I was a kid, but it was always a struggle. Even though I’ve learned to like a lot of foods I hated as a child, milk is just not one of them. So when I need milk for cereal, lattes, or just as a […]

While on a cruise, I enjoyed one of the most wonderful dishes I had ever tasted. The taste of Conch fitters while sailing toward the Bahamas was magnificent . But my joy over a spectacular dish took a turn for the worse. It started with itchy eyes and a scratchy throat, but […]
