What is kefir? Kefir is a fermented milk drink filled with probiotics. It is almost like a tangy liquid yogurt. I have been making my own kefir for almost two years now and I like to think I have the process pretty down pat. Why make kefir? For one, it’s easy and doesn’t take a […]

I have been buried in strawberries lately. They were on sale at the grocery store and I just couldn’t resist. I tried to but I just couldn’t. Okay, I lied, I didn’t try to resist anything… I dove right in. So after using one pint for ice cream and another to snack on, I was […]

When I first heard white chocolate wasn’t “real” chocolate, I am pretty sure my heart tore in two. Then, I discovered white chocolate does indeed come from chocolate, just the cocoa butter instead of the cocoa solids. Mm… butter. I don’t see anything wrong with cutting out the nonsense and just using the best part… […]

In case you were wondering, today is March 14th. You know, 3/14… as in 3.14, otherwise known as Pi. So you know I had to make a pie for Pi day. This way, I have a justified reason for making pie rather than just making pie to make pie. Trust me, that could possibly come […]

Strawberry ice cream is one of those top three traditional ice creams, right beside vanilla and chocolate, isn’t it? Truth be told, I don’t like strawberry ice cream. Whenever Neopolitan ice cream is being served I always root for just chocolate or vanilla. Of course, that never happens, so I will either plug my nose […]

There was once a time when I would make delicious, molded together lunches. Now, most days I just make Philip fend for himself and only make Eliana “bread and butter,” commonly known as a peanut butter sandwich. Well, those days are achanging… starting with the day I reunited with my specialty hummus sandwich. In high […]

Actually I grew two, all for $3.19. What is Kombucha? Google it and you can find tons of information. Basically it is a fermented tea beverage that aids in digestion, supports the immune system, detoxifies and energizes along with other things. It tastes very tangy and is an acquired taste. I wasn’t too fond of […]

Wow, that is a lot of chocolate for one title. Is it too much? Wait a minute, there is no such thing as too much chocolate. Well, unless we’re talking about bacon. Seriously, I tried my first chocolate covered bacon and I am not a fan. Philip compared it to a dirty leather shoe… I […]

Eating real food can get costly. Especially when it comes to purchasing the right kind of meat. Pastured chickens, wild fish and grass-fed beef can really rank up the food bill. Ditching the meat could help but I like meat. I’ll let you in a little secret… I could probably go without meat for a […]

Cheerios are the ultimate toddler snack, don’t you think? That causes a big problem though and I am just going to go ahead and say it… they aren’t good for you. You know why I think that? Mainly, the genetically modified corn and the synthetic vitamins. I just don’t trust ’em. So with ingredients I can actually […]
