Calling all locals….Sweet Freedom Bakery.
I can barely sit still…..I am super psyched. A new bakery opened on South Street that is similar to Baby Cakes in NYC (now I don’t have to travel to brooklyn). It is a vegan bakery that specializes in being allergy free and uses only the best of the best natural sweeteners (like agave nectar). [...]
Another perk to pickles.
In my house, pickles are a popular snack. Well, Olive and Bean tend to like them. I know they aren’t the smartest choice (excess sodium), but they definitely beat cheese curls. One of these days, I will experiment with making my own pickles. Maybe the day after I dehydrate my own fruit leathers. (It may [...]
100% Pure Cosmetics.
Let me be a girly girl for a minute….. I am super psyched because my mom bought me some 100% Pure Make-Up. I have minimized my make-up regime, mainly because I have two kids at my ankles when I try to put an ounce of make-up on. I have it down to one color that [...]
Out smart the flu.
The “bad germs” of the flu usually sit in your nose or throat for 2 to 3 days before it progresses into full fledge flu. If you clean your nasal passage and throat everyday wouldn’t that mean that the “germs couldn’t become of anything? Yes, according to some research. Another reason the Neti Pot is [...]

One of the most health-promoting properties of agave nectar is its favorable glycemic profile. Its sweetness comes primarily from a complex form [...]

Usually the toxins of the foods you eat are expelled through your bowels, but what if you don’t have bowel movements after every meal? That’s [...]
CSA share.
tx All the heavy rains and lack of sunshine have prolonged our early Spring crops and the CSA this weeks was again full of lettuce and greens. I was excited to finally get some garlic scapes, which I’ve been eyeing eagerly in the markets. I received: 1 head Napa Cabbage – transitional – [...]
Cast Iron Skillet.
As soon as the doctor told me that Bean’s iron levels were borderline, I knew the reason. At ten months of age she wasn’t eating massive amounts of greens. And I rarely cook red meat. So I started using a cast iron skillet so whatever I cooked would leach some of the iron out of [...]
Pick a berry. Eat a berry.
This year, I planted two tomato bushes, two blueberry bushes, basil, and garlic chives. Well, Olive gets full credit for the garlic chives and the basil. I just transplanted them from her little Green Toys Gardening Kit to a small bed out back. AND, I have already counted 21 actual tomatoes growing and [...]
