As some of you may know, I love the idea of fermented food, but am a little troubled about the whole DIY movement when it comes to fermented food. Where is the line, if there is one, between something being fermented vs simply being rotten?...
This time of year in particular, has me reaching for this warming, deeply nourishing tea. I love this blend of spices, citrus, and, of course, raw honey. Turmeric is perhaps the current darling in the spice world. It contains potent, anti-inflammatory properties among other benefits. The main active ingredient...
In addition to satisfying my sweet tooth (sigh), I was highly motivated to make use of walnuts. There's this idea that things in nature that resemble parts of the human body are extremely nourishing to said body part. Walnuts are a perfect example. What does a...
These were so easy and delicious! I'm a snacker. If I don't have healthy snacks lurking in every corner of my home, I'm in trouble. I will reach for the worst possible thing if healthy options are not "good to go". If you're ever missing a...

My boys in particular are (mostly) generous when I recruit them for taste testing. Several members of Dan's basketball team got roped into tasting this one. I'm not sure if they were overly polite as they were counting on a drive back to the gym, really hungry or...
Did you know that magnesium deficiency is one of the most common mineral deficiencies to have? Did you know that magnesium plays a very important role in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth? It's also important for proper muscle function, and can help...
