Fighting Boredom with Healthy Food + Creative Living
Something happened when I hit my 40’s. I would often find myself going to bed with aches, and waking up with new ones. I’d try to think of what I had done to cause the pain, and was dumbfounded.
According to Delicious Living Magazine, more than 90 percent of Americans fall short of meeting estimated average requirements for at least one vitamin or mineral. A big part of the problem?
MSG 21+ Now that it’s Springtime, I’m excited about entertaining outside again. I love making healthy beautiful party platters for my friends, as we all enjoy fresh food. As an artistic food challenge, I recently started creating platters limited to two colors. It’s a fun dynamic food effect, and I have to get creative to find healthy food additions that fit the color scheme! For this party platter creation, I chose purple and green as the primary colors.

Baby wipes are known for being the perfect quick self-cleaning solution when running water is not available. However, no one I know really likes smelling like a baby, except for maybe a baby, and do they even get a say in the matter?

It always amazes me how many of my Californian friends have never been to Oregon. If they need a little encouragement to head North, I tell them Oregon is a diverse state with dramatic ocean cliffs, lush green forests and arid deserts in the east.…

We celebrate a lot of Meatless Mondays at our house (and Tuesdays, Wednesdays, etc.), so I’m always looking for plant-based convenience products that contain quality nutrition. With a growing and active teen in my household, I’m interested in heart-healthy meals that are delicious. Sometimes we only have 30 minutes between school and sports, so the Alpha Burritos make AWESOME snacks too! (more…)
One of my goals of ExpoWest 2018 was to look for snack bar products that were low in sugar. I like bars as easy on-to-go snacks for my family, but the added cane sugar drives me bat crazy! Truth be told, I’m not going to…
