Have you ever seen Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. For me this is one of the most powerful documentaries I’ve ever seen. If you are lacking motivation to get up and kick yourself into a better you, this movie will do it. In a big way. This is where The Healthy Juicer’s Bible kicks [...]

School will be back in session tomorrow and the necessary madness begins. My kids thought it would be a great idea to write a post about the daily drawings [...]

I’ve got a new obsession and I happened to stumble upon it at Fresh Market. Bear with me if you are all familiar with this, this…thing….I had no clue until today that they actually existed. I couldn’t help but take a long whiff of the yellow, octopus looking thing while I googled the name posted [...]

My nieces asked me to make some caramel apples for their high school bake sale and my wheels started turning. I just can’t make plain caramel apples! There needs to be a twist to this, somehow. Why not make my favorite candy bar, 100 Grand, “dress” the apples instead? Brilliant! Instructions: Start with branchless, clean [...]
