Don’t eat too many chips or you’ll break out, right?
We’ve all heard that drinking gallons of water can not only keep your insides running right, but also help you with clear skin. So it’s no surprise to any of us that what you eat and drink can impact not just your weight and love handles, [...]

“I’m Popeye the Sailor Man
I live in a frying pan
I turn on the gas
And burn off my…”
Oh wait, sorry, that was the naughty playground version. Most of us remember Popeye and his loyal use of spinach in lieu of modern day protein shakes to pump up his famous forearms to woo his fiancé of [...]
Now that I’m 10 pounds heavier, I hope all of you celebrated with good food wherever you were and with whomever.
I had a quiet, lovely holiday with Cake Mountain Man and our dear friend, L. Our Christmas dinner was capped by L’s Cornish Game Hens with homemade gravy and butternut squash stuffing…
…and his HOMEMADE pumpkin [...]
I apologize for the quality (or lack thereof) of the photo…only had my phone with me, and I wanted to share this quick easy awesome recipe BEFORE next week’s holiday festivities in case you are looking for a great side for Christmas or got “stuck” making the greens.

In my house, there aren’t many rules. One condition is that you must be my guinea pig.
After a week of cold downpours when the sun took a vacation, my dear friends came over for a comfort supper. They are far too kind in their accolades (which by the way, I never discourage them from dispensing), [...]
I love my vegetarian friends. But I love my meat too.
This is definitely a dilemma for me. I love animals. I love dogs. I think pigs are really smart animals. I care about the environment. I recycle. I reuse bags. I pay extra for the recycled business cards.
Am I a hypocrite?
For those of you who [...]
Ongoing coffee wars: boo to the $4 Starbucks, yay to the $1 McDonald’s. Can’t taste the difference. Right?
I am an absolute novice when it comes to coffee. Remember, I’m the one with the baby taste buds and so yes, coffee has traditionally been too bitter for me. And it makes me pee like nobody’s business.
But [...]
If you have been following us for a little while, you probably realize that I support small, local, family farms. I also try to stay aware of how corporate greed has infected our food (Taking Control) and support protecting our family farms (End of Farmer’s Markets?)
Like many of you who support eating and living healthier [...]
