GMOs we want to know!
We are on the verge of winning the fight to eradicate GMOs (Genetic Modified Organisms) from the U.S. food supply. A California ballot initiative has been launched that requests a mandatory GMO labeling requirement in place. This, one would hope, would result in nearly all U.S. food producers discontinuing the use of GMOs to avoid the embarrassment (and cost) of having to print GMOs on their labels. This... read more

eat your veggies rover!
So you’re having a hard time getting your kids to eat vegetables? Well, maybe you can set a good example when feeding your dog. Dry food can be so boring for a dog and many people mix it with wet canned food which can get expensive and, quite honestly, isn’t so healthy for your pet. Try this.

breakfast made easy
Many people skip breakfast either because they are in a rush or they simply don’t like to eat in the morning. But skipping this important meal can throw off your blood sugar levels for the rest of the day, causing mood swings. Eating breakfast can improve mood, memory and energy throughout the day.

healthy chips? no way!
Everyone loves potato chips, and yes they are my guilty pleasure from time to time. Obviously the best potato chips are the ones you make at home, but really who has time for that? Not me! Enter in my new favorite snack. Beanitos Bean Chips. These chips are corn free so they are low glycemic. And honestly Americans could cut back on all the corn products they eat. Most are empty calories like corn chips,... read more

kale-super winter food
I love shopping at the Farmer’s Markets this time of year. There are so many new vegetables available, many of which may intimidate most of us. In comes Kale. Looks simple, like lettuce, and it’s dark green which the brain says, “that’s got to be really good for me. But why? And how do I prepare it so that it actually tastes good?” First for the “why.” Well, with all the toxins surrounding... read more
