My brother-in-law is set in his nutritional ways. He makes faces at veggies, and the idea of drinking anything green makes him walk away shaking his head.

Tea Cupboard

Teas and warming drinks help me get through the day and, as I’ve shared, I’m not a coffee girl. I believe that almost anything can be solved by a warm cup of something.. My favorite mug, an electric tea pot, and the occasional drop of liquid stevia or raw honey is heaven in a [...]

Healthy Egg Nog Recipe

It makes me sick to my tummy, and it makes me feel bloated, so I had to design my own healthy version, using almond milk and my favorite sweet spices.
