♦ October 21, 2013 ♦ 2 Comments

“What supplements/types of supplements do you recommend?” In the privacy of my own brain, I usually think to myself, “You wouldn’t need supplements if you ate well!” I do believe that the body and food were made for each other, meaning that ideal nutrition comes from good quality, whole foods. However, the reality is that …

This post is a re-blog from Nick, at Frugal Feeding, a favorite food blog of mine. Gluten-Free Brownies Specifically gluten-free fare isn’t something dabbled in particularly often at frugalfeeding.

Research in epi-genetics and microbiology is turning up all …

♦ April 24, 2013 ♦ 2 Comments

Over and over I hear this question. I understand why, too. Everywhere, food labels advertise “gluten-free!” even on items like honey or yogurt. And often, gluten-free labeled foods have a higher price tag (sometimes ridiculously high!) It could seem like someone decided to try to capitalize on this eating trend with the objective of making …

Tips (I Borrowed) For Avoiding the Flu

♦ January 25, 2013 ♦ 2 Comments

You must first know that I did not write these tips; but if I had, they would sound pretty much the same. I swiped these from the Dr. Mercola website, which I highly recommend.(Dr. Mercola can sound a bit alarmist; but I generally think he is SO wise, well-rounded, & very experienced.) I will not …
