Blueberries are a powerful source of antioxidants and vitamins, bursting with flavor and health benefits. After spending a weekend in Western Mass picking my [...]

During the hot summer months, foods with a cooling nature will help to keep your system from over-heating and prevent dehydration. Two particularly wonderful foods for this are cucumbers and watermelon, which (despite their very different flavor palate) are actually from the same family of melon plant species. Both supply a refreshingly high water content [...]

Ah – Honey, Honey. You are my Candy Girl – and you’ve got me wanting you. Addictive just like the girl in the Archies song, sugar can have a strong hold over many a sweet-tooth. It is a hot topic in the health world and even entering political legislature. We all know to avoid sugary [...]

For years I have tried to find the perfect granola to satisfy a snack or morning meal – not too sweet, not too bland, not artificial, not with gluten, not with soy… I never even once considered making the crunchy treat myself. I though it would be too cumbersome or tedious, and not worth the effort. How [...]

Ever thought that your morning muffin or stir-fry lunch contained not just sustenance, but healing properties? Ancient Chinese medical theory has ascribed certain energetics and functions to many common foods, that still remain true today. Such properties are very different from nutritional values (vitamins, calories, fats, fiber, etc), which came later in the evolution of the nature of food. Let’s [...]

I must admit, that duck was one meat that I never remembered experiencing as a kid. I fed them bread crumbs at the pond near our house, but never considered them an edible animal like the turkeys or chickens that adorned our dinner table on a weekly basis. In fact, I can distinctly remember my first experience eating duck at the [...]
