Our hearts keep us from pushing up daisies, this much we know. We also know the heart is why we feel, and has quite an affect on our decision making. Often times we think with our hearts before our heads. Your ticker should be loved and attended to so it keeps on ticking for years [...]

While I’m really not crazy about long, frigid winters, the one thing I do love about the colder months is the availability of the fabulous pomegranate (usually October-January.) What a jewel of a fruit. Not only is it downright delectable, but it’s so good for you. With a good amount of antioxidants, pomegranates are believed [...]

With all of the great dishes and desserts a lot of us are making and consuming this holiday season, I thought the time was right to feature one of my favorite goodies, the raisin. Why the raisin you ask? Why not? It’s tasty, nutritious, versatile, and kinda cute, wrinkles and all. Of course raisins are [...]

My father just recently had cataract surgery and thank Goodness it was a huge success. He says he can see as well as he did forty years ago. The question is, can we prevent cataracts by incorporating certain nutrients into our diet? There is strong evidence that says we can. A major national eye institute [...]

As we get ever closer to the “eat as much as you can” holidays, we may want to stop for just a moment and remember that Americans who are not overweight are now in the minority. That’s right, and it’s also a sobering thought to realize that one in three children is overweight or obese. [...]

They arrive at the same time every day, in the few hours between lunch and dinner. You know what I’m talking about, hunger pangs, when you have to have something crunchy to maintain your energy level, and silence a grumbling stomach. My snack of choice more often than not is the sapid sunflower seed, and [...]

I made chicken cutlets tonight and was reminded why I don’t use Progresso Bread Crumbs, Italian Style anymore. Although it’s a great tasting product, the ingredients are reason to give Progresso the heave-ho. Why would they include partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, (trans fats) and high fructose corn syrup in a product that should be good [...]

I have to say, I hit a home run at the dinner table tonight, and if it were any easier I’d feel guilty. It was all a part of my continuing quest to create healthier meals in a minimal amount of time, with few, but choice ingredients. On our plates tonight, wild salmon in a [...]

These days, more and more food is being labeled as gluten-free. But what does this mean, and are gluten-free foods better for you than food with gluten? Gluten is simply a protein found in grains, but for many people, such as people with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance, this little protein can cause a lot [...]
