I have something of a difficult time making healthy choices in the morning. I’m simply too tired and am craving sugar- particularly in the form of a Boston Cream Doughnut. This is why I prepare overnight oats ahead of time so I’m able to enjoy

I do hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially after a nearly two-year-long pandemic, but cold and flu season is upon us. Because of this, it is necessary for all of us to have an easy peasy chicken soup in our back pocket

This glass of healthfulness is known as my Ultimate Juice as it provides several servings of fruits and veggies including beets, carrots, and spinach along with apples, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. This super healthy juice is much easier to digest than would be a smoothie.

I always have these glorious ambitions of making spinach smoothies for breakfast every morning and being super healthy, but that rarely pans out. As a result, I have a surfeit of spinach that needs attending to by the end of the week. Recipe searching ensues.
