    Creating an Edible Garden on a Budget

    June 23, 2020

    I have some sort of edible garden every year and it is always on a budget. Vegetables that you have grown yourself taste delicious, are healthy and can help you save on your grocery bills. In our house, it is a tradition to have a BLT, with the first tomato of each season. However, growing an edible garden can be an expensive business. Here is some helpful advice if you want an edible garden on a budget. What to grow in your edible garden Before you can pick which edible delights to grow, you need to carefully consider the resources you have available. In fact, there are two particularly important…

    What You Need to Know About Food Labels

    March 12, 2020

    It is National Nutrition Month and this week I want to share with you some insight on what you need to know about food labels. The confusing and bureaucratic-filled process by which the United States came to pass our food labeling system is overwhelming – and a topic for another blog post. However, just know the United States Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services are required to revisit the guidelines every five years. These two government agencies appoint a joint committee, review research, and determine the final design and text.

    Fiber is Essential for Good Health

    February 20, 2020

    Fiber is a nutrient most Americans do not get enough of but it is essential for good health and a stable digestive system. Most of us should increase our fiber intake by double! The average American only gets 10-15 grams per day, whereas 25 – 30 grams is more ideal. One of my husband’s favorite foods is artichokes cooked in a pressure cooker. My mother-in-law would place a small amount of water in a pressure cooker. Set raw artichokes in the pressure cooker, upright; and cook. To serve, she placed the artichoke, upright, in a bowl, which about ¼ cup of melted butter. Leaves would be plucked off, dipped in…

    5 Ways to Handle Picky Eaters

    December 5, 2019

    Do you have Picky Eaters in your household? I bet the majority of you do! Whether it is a spouse, kids, or yourself – there are ways to handle those picky eaters. Here are some of my suggestions. Educate Your Family About Food Waste Food is the No.1 item Americans throw away.  Each year up to 40 percent of the food supply in the US is never consumed. Teach your children to appreciate the luxury of our vast food supply and encourage them to chose whole foods, when grocery shopping. As a family, discuss the economic, environmental and social impacts of wasted food. Involve your kids in starting a compost pile…
