I even lived in Spain when I was in college, and Spain is THE place for olives. I remember one meal in particular that my Spanish […]

Imagine if Whole Foods and just about every natural food store you know of had a trade show and you got to sample something from every vendor. That’s pretty much what happens at the Natural Products Expo each year, and it’s like trick-or-treating for food nerds like me. Thousands of health practitioners, retailers, wholesalers, press, […]
My husband, Bill, and I were recently in Illinois for a wonderful trip, celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. We spent a week camping near Chicago then headed into the city to see what it offered.

One of the things I love to do on this blog and on social media is give you recommendations for the best products to buy to help you save time (and money!) at the grocery store. I’ve been wanting to write today’s post for years but never took the time to do it, but with […]

I didn’t eat my first salad until I was in college. I liked vegetables but just couldn’t get excited about a plate of raw ones and was always grossed out by condiments and anything besides butter and parmesan cheese being on my food, so salad dressings were out. Fast forward to my 30s, and I […]
