Did you happen to overindulge this weekend? I did, just a bit – too much barbecue, and one too many helpings of dessert. I don’t regret it one bit, but now my body is craving lighter, fresher fare. This morning, as I woke up, I knew what I needed was some raw greens.
I am no stranger to green smoothies.…continue reading.

This weekend will be a time for many Americans to honor and remember those who have fought and given their lives defending our great country, and we’ll likely do so in American fashion – by playing outdoors, barbecueing, enjoying the freshness of late spring/early summer produce, and enjoying a refreshing beverage with family and friends.

Yes, I promised you a chocolate cake over a week ago. I apologize. I considered making the cake once more so I could retake the photo. Then we had an illness in our family, and that didn’t happen.
