deviantart.com I love chocolate. For Valentines Day, but really, every day. Good chocolate. Dark (at least 70% cacao). Low sugar. High in anti-oxidants. It is really a health food, until it gets processed into junk with wax and chemicals. Sadly, most of the popular chocolates on the market fall into this […]

Meltdown season. Here we are. If you haven’t had one, even just a little one, please share your secret to sanity. Because dealing with unrealistic schedules, endless gift buying and wrapping, multiple family dynamics, an overabundance of decedant food, harsh freezing weather, and usual day-to-day life, it gets to be a bit much for […]

(yes, you can have pie and still be healthy) For most people in the US, gathering with family to eat an enormous holiday meal, and maybe express gratitude between forkfuls, is a day looked upon with mixed anticipation and angst. Will everyone get along? How am I going to get all of these dishes […]

If you dipped a few too many times into the candy bowl, you may feel lethargic, foggy or have sore joints (among other discomforts). Why? Because sugar is so inflammatory, it literally makes your entire system flare up. You need to give your body some extra love and assistance to help bring it […]
