Pumpkin Treats

Yes, I’m aware that it’s not fall and that pumpkin isn’t really an intuitive choice at this time of year. What can I say, I like pumpkin, it’s healthy, it’s tasty, it’s versatile and it’s a great way to sneak some extra vitamins into my family’s snacks. It’s not a spring food but I’m ok […]

I’m a firm believer that canned […]

Who’s afraid of a little butter?

Well that depends. Are we talking about the white butter on the left or the yellow butter on the right? Butter has vitamins A and D and even butyric acid which has been found to help fight cancer. Fat helps build cell walls and fight immunity and you need fat to digest fat soluble vitamins. […]

Another milk alternative

In one of my earlier posts I listed some options on what kind of milk is best to buy if you choose not to go raw. Here’s another option if you decide you just don’t want to do modern milk either or if you just can’t have dairy. It’s made from coconut milk and it […]
