When I was offered the opportunity to read and review “What the Fork Are You Eating?” I knew it was right up my alley! There’s so much information — and misinformation — out there about our food, I’m always interested in brushing up on how to make the healthiest choices about the foods I’m...

Healthy Laughing Lemon Pie with NestFresh Eggs & Wholly Wholesome Crust

Gluten-Free Cutie Cake Recipe
I’m on a big anti-food-waste kick lately. I heard a story on NPR recently about food waste that stated that as much of 1/3 of the food in this country goes to waste — and consumers are the biggest problem. Take, for example, the ubiquitous Cuties you can find at the grocery store this time...

Christmas Foodie No.13: Chocolate Cake in a Mug in a Jar…
OK – This Christmas Foodie gift idea is kinda tricky to explain. Have you had Chocolate Covered Katie’s One Minute Chocolate Cake in a Mug? If you haven’t, I’m letting you know upfront – I can’t be held responsible for introducing you to this kind of decadence. It’s a single-serve chocolate cake you “bake”...
