Berry, Berry Crunchy


As I awoke, groggy … with blurry eyes, the only part of my body that seemed to be wide-awake was my stomach, grumbling away. I entered the kitchen and even through my narrow squint, it was impossible to miss the bright and cheerful box of the new FlaxPlus Red Berry Crunch cereal from Nature’s […]

Who Needs Cheese for an Incredible Pizza?


I confess … I was never really a fan of cheese, so from that perspective, the dairy-free diet has been fairly easy for me. However, I do adore pizza. Not willing to give up my first love, I began making my own pizza crust from scratch many years ago (since many store-bought crusts […]

I love dried mango. I started eating it years ago when I would buy it at the grocers I frequented in New York . . . you know, back when I was a cool New York girl living and schoolin’ in Morningside Heights. I have carried many, many loves from that time - hummus, fresh […]

The Original Fruit Leather, a Timeless Snack


While the name Stretch Island didn’t ring a bell, when I read “The Original Fruit Leather” on the snack-sized package, I knew I was in for a trip down memory lane.  Jumping at the first three flavors that caught my appetite, I was eager to do some foodie reminiscing…

Strong Bones, Thinking Outside of the Carton


All too often we are blind-sided by the media, led to believe that one food, one product, one vitamin or mineral is the answer to our very health and existence. In reality, our bodies are quite complex, requiring a healthy lifestyle and various nutrients to operate optimally. Yes, it is true that people who are […]
