Healthy Almond Milk Guide
1. Three Trees / 2. Malk / 3. New Barn Plant-based milks have become very popular in recent years. They aren’t new, however. When I began to learn about healthy eating back in the 1970’s, soy milk and rice milk were available at health food stores. Now I go to the store and find everything […]

Meep’s Healthy Cranberry Sauce with Maple Syrup & Chia Seeds
Growing up, my mom did most of the cooking in our exceedingly health-conscious kitchen.

Why Beans Can Be Better Than Greens
My last two blog posts have been about vegetables—or rather, the absence of vegetables in kids’ diets and how that’s REALLY OKAY. If your child turns up his nose at the green stuff, don’t sweat it.
