Halloween is upon us. Do you feel it? I certainly do. I’ve been drinking Homemade Pumpkin Spice Lattes, watching Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown, and littering the house with Halloweenie (I just made that a word) type decorations. Autumn in general is my favorite season, but Halloween may be one of my two favorite “holidays”. I […]

Brownies were a delicious, warm chocolaty treat that I’ve always known since my early childhood. For a couple of years now, I’ve been putting off perfecting a grain-free, gluten-free brownie recipe.

My okra plants in my organic garden have just started exploding with okra pods recently, which is weird considering we’re only 5 days away from fall. Although I love fall and winter weather, at the same time I’m hoping the seasons will be stretched (just a bit), so I can get more okra and zucchini […]

Since I started hosting this giveaway for coconut oil, I’ve received numerous ideas from various sources on the multiple uses for coconut oil. Not only can it be used in the kitchen, but it may also be a potent beauty aid. It is known to be a really good, natural moisturizer, and some people even […]

If you are anything like me, you are constantly on the look out for up-to-date nutrition news, information and research regarding natural, whole foods. I recently came across an article (and no doubt you might have, too) titled, “Egg yolks almost as bad as smoking“. Of course I was flabbergasted, as well as highly, highly […]

I’ve found a new french fry recipe that I love. I don’t usually go for fries from white potatoes, due to their high glycemic index (and also the fact that they are often fried in genetically modified soy and/or canola oils). These jicama fries, however, provide a side dish satisfaction that is slightly similar to […]
