Healthy Snacks to Go is Sitting on my Kitchen Table

December 17th, 2012 · 2 Comments · What to Buy

…and no, I am not having a grammar verb tense problem today. I’m not talking about a big pile of snacks. I’m talking about the book, Healthy Snacks to Go, which is in the hands of over 5,000 happy snackers via PDF and Kindle versions. It is now available to clutter up your house, get [...]

Easy Desserts in Jars and Making Sugary Recipes a Little Healthier {GUEST POST + Recipe}

December 8th, 2012 · 3 Comments · Recipes

This is a guest post from Shaina of Food for my Family, author of Desserts in Jars. You might wonder why a healthy, “real foodie” blog is promoting a mainstream desserts book (with…gasp!…white sugar in there!). There are a couple good reasons: 1. I’m a compromise girl.

Pollan’s Food Rules Now has Illustrated Version {REVIEW}

November 22nd, 2011 · 14 Comments · What to Buy

Did you know that when McDonald’s was founded, a 7 oz. cup was the only size of soda (or "pop" as we say here in Michigan)? For real. Now the "small" is 16 ounces and the large is a whopping 32 ounces, one full quart of sugary nothingness. I think that epitomizes what is wrong [...]

Monday Mission: Find a Recipe Buddy, Be a Recipe Buddy

October 18th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Monday Missions

Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to find a recipe buddy. (What’s a better word for that? “Buddy” sounds a little too kindergarten for me. Maybe “collaborator” or “cohort” would do better?)
