It’s so easy to get off track if you live in an area where you cannot get fresh produce year-round. I actually avoid “fresh” tomatoes during the winter months because I can only get tomatoes from the supermarket and they’re just not fresh tasting at all. I found that tomatoes from the market during the winter…[Continue Reading...]
If you’re the one who does the cooking during the holidays, you have more control over the ingredients and how meals are cooked. But what if others do the cooking? If you can, you should do most of the cooking during the holidays. However, if there is absolutely no way you can avoid foods prepared…[Continue Reading...]
In this house, we LOVE pizza, so I make it often, probably two to three times per month. Over the years, I think I’ve perfected one of the best healthy pizzas that doesn’t really taste all that healthy. I mean isn’t that the best feeling – eating something you know is good for you, but…[Continue Reading...]
About three weeks ago, I found a recipe for chocolate chip peanut butter cookies that were clean (yes, they really are!) over at DeliciousWisdom.com. (Website is no longer available, sorry!) I’m not going to post the recipe here because, number one, the cookies aren’t technically the point of this post, and two, you can find…[Continue Reading...]
I thought I would update how our container gardening is going. My husband apparently decided to keep some of our plants in containers (because it’s now July and those plants are still in containers) instead of planting them with the rest, and so I thought I would show you what happens in a very short…[Continue Reading...]
Once upon a time, I had a soda addiction. My addiction was pretty bad. I would drink at a minimum 4 20-oz. Mt. Dews a day, most times 5, for about 5 years. I don’t think it was the caffeine because I can get caffeine anywhere (coffee, for instance). It could’ve been the sugar, but…[Continue Reading...]
A new study finds that diet soda may reduce the risk of developing kidney stones. Of course experts aren’t suggesting to trade water for diet soda, but these same experts, in all of the articles I’ve read so far, do not bother to mention the other harmful effects of drinking diet soda. So let’s trade…[Continue Reading...]
One of the common misconceptions about eating clean is that it’s too expensive. Last year I laid out a cost comparison in regards to buying healthy foods versus buying junk food in which I compared a clean dinner versus buying candy bars. Although buying clean foods while on a budget can seem overwhelming, here are…[Continue Reading...]
My husband and I are expanding our garden this year and it’s going to be so much bigger than last year! I will post pics as we progress, but in the meantime, we are going to do a little container gardening. Not by my choice, mind you (because I figure what is the point?), but…[Continue Reading...]
It’s a new year and at the beginning of the year, people are looking to not only lose weight and/or gain better health, but to meet their resolutions or goals in a healthy way and want a long-term solution. Sometimes, though, we are so overloaded with information that we don’t know where to start or…[Continue Reading...]
