Any given day of eating can look out of balance or not so healthy if you look just at what was eaten in that 24 hour period. It's the balance over time that makes the difference. Sunday we had an alumni gathering with potluck snacks, and...
A friend sent me a link to a Mark Bittman article, "Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?" that is worth reading, particularly for those who claim they can't manage to eat real food because it is so much more expensive than processed food. It may...
It's been a fairly hectic few days since returning home, without much chance to go grocery shopping, and with visits to friends, museums, theatre shows, and restaurants. I visited the Scotts Valley Farmer's Market Saturday morning to pick...
Flew home to Santa Cruz Friday, and I am so glad to be home, where I can have easier access to healthy food and my own cooking! I'm off to the Farmer's Market in the morning, to stock up on whatever is seasonal. I'm hoping there are still...
