Everything tastes better when it's fresh. That and I've grown mistrustful of many things, ready-made pasta sauces included. I mean, I even got the Trader Joe's … [Read more...]

A Simple Guide to Healthier Shopping

I'm a firm believer in reading the labels of foods you choose to buy. Jack LaLanne said it pretty well: "If man made it, don't eat it," and even better is the philosophy of "If you can't read it, don't eat it." Why?

Better When You Bake ‘Em Snacks

I'm a chronic snacker. I love crunchy, salty finger foods that keep calling my name even though I said I'd only have one. Once you pop you can't stop, right?
