My husband and I often share meals. However, the same food might look quite different, as I strive to add more plant-based foods. When I say that, I mean real food, coming from the earth, not what you might find in the supermarket (natural food or not) in a box, can or frozen. I am not referring to Impossible or Beyond burgers or anything like
Planting (or Sowing) Seeds
My hands are caked with soil. You can call it dirt, if you wish. But it is soil. My seeds are planted in small pots to let them germinate. Last year, I started them in egg cartons but I don’t have any right now so small pots it is. Yes, I am typing with grimy fingers because I didn’t want to forget that I wanted
Gut Health: The Role of Prebiotics, Probiotics and the Microbiome
When I say gut health, people listen. Why? Because many of us have tummy troubles. People tell me that when they travel their digestion usually gets disrupted. Some people get diarrhea, some get constipated, some people feel bloated or gassy. These can happen. So, here’s some gut education. Few of us truly understand the gut and the role that it plays in our health. Only

Instant Pot Max Review: It’s New but Is it For You?
I just cooked 2 sweet potatoes in the new Max Instant Pot. I found it very easy to use because it is touch control. Much easier for me than the Ultra which requires you to dial through the programs to get to the desired setting and flashier than the Duo. If you have read my cookbook The New Fast Food you know that I have
