    Red Watermelon or Yellow Watermelon?

    July 17, 2019 /

    Summer wouldn’t be summer without fresh juicy watermelon!  And when I say watermelon I’m not talking about the seedless kind.   I’m talking about the original kind with the beautiful contrasting natural back seeds.  Going back to my childhood memories I remember many times during the summer my father cutting up big watermelons which our family of 6 would devour, almost before he finished cutting them.  Back then watermelon was better than candy to me.  It took on the duties…

    Making Carob Bread with My Spelt Sourdough Starter

    July 13, 2019 /

    The whole science of making bread has always fascinated me.  Actually baking in general.  So its been challenging to say the least that due to my digestive issues and autoimmune challenges I’ve had to change the way I eat and bake.   There’s no more sugar laden, chocolate indulgent, dairy filled , white flour desserts or breads for me anymore.   Instead I’ve had to make adjustments.   I noticed the impact gluten as well as grains were having on…

    The Herb Epazote

    July 10, 2019 /

    A few days ago I wrote about an herb called Papalo.    The same day at the farmers market I bought Papalo, I also bought a bunch of herbs called Epazote, pronounced ep.a.zote.   My experience with Papalo was very positive.  But my experience with the herb Epazote was even more so!   I like Papalo but if I had to pick between both herbs it would be Epazote and I’ll tell you why.   But first let me talk…

    What is Papalo?

    July 6, 2019 /

    It’s always exciting for me to come across something I’ve never seen before, especially in the herb and plant family.  A week ago I was at the farmers market.  I came upon a gentleman discussing herbs, in particular herbs indigenous to Mexico and South American countries.  One of the plants he was explaining about was Papalo.  When he gave me a leaf to try, I was immediately blown away by the flavor.  The flavor was intense.  It tasted like cilantro…

    21 Amazing Health Benefits of Lovely Lemon Balm

    June 25, 2019 /

    Lemon Balm is such a lovely sounding name for an herb.  But don’t let the lovely sounding name fool you.  This herb is POWERFUL! I thought it only fitting since we’re in the beginning of summer and in the season of  the astrological sign Cancer to talk about lemon balm.   Seventeenth century herbalist and astrologer Nicholas Culpeper proclaimed lemon balm being of the sign of Cancer as well as an “Herb of Jupiter”.   He said the herb strengthens…

    Celery Juice, Friend or Foe

    June 15, 2019 /

    It seems like the media consistently comes up with some new “in” superfood or supplement to grab our attention as the new cure all.    And since most of us want to be as healthy as possible we gravitate to the latest superfood hoping it does what it’s claiming to do.  Well the new health craze for the moment and has been for a while is celery juice. Being one to always be late to jump on the bandwagon of…

    The #1 Health Saving, Money Saving Herb!

    May 4, 2019 /

    What would you say if I told you there was an herb that could give you all if not more of the nutrients that eating your favorite green vegetables can give. And it costs a fraction of what organic greens cost.   Even in it’s dried form when consumed as a tea it can provide you with minerals and vitamins not readily available in other herbs.  Well if you’re like me and you’re interested in most things nutritional and natural…

    I’m a big music head.  Whenever I think of things, people and situations there’s normally a music soundtrack that goes along with it.  When it comes to CBD…the song WAR comes to mind by Edwin Starr but sung in a different way.  CBD, uh good God ya’ll…What is it good for?  Absolutely everything, say it again.  Lol…Well maybe it’s not good for everything but it is very beneficial and definitely good for a lot of things.

    Is Soy Healthy?

    October 13, 2018 /

    To soy or not to soy, this has been a question deliberating in my mind for quite some time and while waiting in line at a neighborhood bakery the answer became very clear.  And that answer is a resounding NOT.  Looking at the baked goods at this particular bakery I was taken aback their pictures showing soy as an ingredient in cupcakes, cakes, muffins even croissants.  When did this switch from butter to soy happen everywhere?  And why?

    Amaranth, A Tiny Grain With Big Benefits

    March 6, 2017 /

    If someone came to me and said, from now on you are only allowed 5 food items for the rest of your life, one of those items would definitely be Amaranth.   I came upon this ancient food source when researching Dr. Sebi and his dietary food list of what alkaline foods to eat (If you don’t know who Dr. Sebi is here’s a link).  At the time I didn’t know too much about amaranth but remembered seeing the word…
