Yeah, yeah. I know I’m still technically supposed to be on a blogging boycott, since my ebook isn’t out yet, but I was doing a little research for myself to see if I could find some decent packaged convenience snacks, and I figured I might as well share what I came up with. Because this…
What to Eat
Brown Rice or White Rice: Which is Healthier? (You Might Be Surprised!)
Alright. I’m just gonna come right out and say it. There’s Nothing Wrong with White Rice. That’s right. You heard me. I LOVE WHITE RICE. And I eat it all the time. I’m getting pretty sick of people lumping together white rice in the same category as other “refined carbs” such as that oh-so-scary white…
Want a Nourished Baby? You’ll Want to Read This!
No you guys, I’m not pregnant yet. But I have been reading up on baby nutrition. The new husband and I don’t plan on entering into parenthood right away, even though we feel like the only people around who aren’t popping out kids left and right.

Delicious dairy cultured with these curious little clusters of “grains” I kept hearing about — I had been dying to get my hands on some for quite a while. I’d mastered my first weird homemade…
Butter is NOT Fattening!
I seriously wanted to preface that with, “For the LAST time…” but, let’s be honest. This will not be the last time I preach about the wonders of one of nature’s most perfect and healthy foods. The wonderful substance still vilified even by well-meaning but misinformed doctors, nutritionists, and health-conscious consumers. It drives me absolutely…
$93.38 Worth of Protein Powder… In the Trash
This sucks. But I have to do it. I bought these large, expensive jugs of hyper-processed protein particles and diet supplement powders at the end of last year, as a part of a nearly life-long effort to gain weight. And today, I am dumping them out in the trash. Oh, you read that right, by…
