I’m a huge fan of smoothies. I have them almost every day for breakfast and sometimes when I don’t feel like cooking (or my family is out of the house), smoothies are my dinner too. They’re the perfect meal in a glass. I can load them up with fruits and veggies, protein, superfoods and natural …

This month’s Eat Well, Spend Less topic is emergency preparedness. Part of emergency preparedness is having a well-stocked pantry. Whether through natural disasters, job loss, or unplanned expenses, many of us at one point in our lives may have to rely on the food we’ve put away in our pantries. And the real problem is, …

Yesterday the hosts of the radio morning show I listen to on my way home from dropping the kids at school asked: “You cook ____ times a week?” Answers were sent in via email and the hosts read them on air. I was shocked at the number of people who said things like: Does putting …

I think it’s safe to say that I wouldn’t have survived the week (in terms of meal planning) without my garden. Every meal I made was with ingredients I already had in the house, or was growing in the garden. Coming back from a trip alone is a lot more work than I anticipated. The …
