It could be that I can make them any time with ingredients that I keep in my kitchen. It might also be that I like melting honey and coconut oil together. And it could very well be the fact that I would much rather choose to serve my children high-fructose-corn-syrup-FREE … [Read more...]

We've known that aluminum causes problems in the human body for a long time, but for some reason, we continue (myself included in the past) to use products that we know are harmful to our health. Did you … [Read more...]
It's a busy season of soccer and baseball for us right now, so as usual, my menus reflect that. I have to plan a little better during times like these so that I can avoid eating out as much as possible. Yeah, sometimes it happens, but I want to serve my family healthy, home-cooked meals as much as possible. Two ways I have found that make eating on the go easier for our large family are … [Read more...]
