Taste of Nature REVIEW

Having healthy snacks ready to go isn’t always easy. I try to make my own granola bars on a regular basis, but I have to be honest, I go through periods of time when I’m lazy.

The Only Granola Bar Recipe You’ll Ever Need

Eating real food with real ingredients usually means you need to make things from scratch. Like granola bars. Even the ones with organic ingredients usually have way more added sugar than needed.

5 Natural Supports for Healthy Digestion

Now that I’ve changed my diet to be grain-free and refined sugar-free, my digestion system is way better.

14 Day Skinny Teatox REVIEW

RANT: Both Food Babe and Science Babe Bloggers are Full of $h!t

Unless you live in a world without internet, you’ve probably seen the post on Gawker by Science Babe eloquently titled: “The ‘Food Babe’ Blogger Is Full of Shit”.

Clay Pot Cooking: Miriam’s Earthen Cookware Review

My slow cooker bit the dust awhile back, and I started researching a good replacement. Then I started to read about possible toxic issues with slow cookers: the ceramic inserts can have lead or cadmium in them and leach into your food. The reason is that ceramic is porous, so it needs to be glazed in order to seal the...

It’s a comment I hear a lot. “I can’t afford to be green. I can’t afford to eat organic.” My response is usually something like, “I am not made of money either. But I choose to eat organic and be as green as I can.” So how do you do it? Is it possible? (My answer is a resounding “YES”...

How to Start Seeds: Advice from Experienced Gardeners

After a lot of mistakes in my first year of planting my own vegetable garden, I decided to consult with some experienced gardeners this year before starting any seeds. How to start seeds has been a bit of a puzzle to me, likely because I’ve been on Pinterest too much and got confused by all the different information I was...
