Tip for the Week

Most kids are back in school or heading back in the next week or so.  Welcome to the hamster wheel of after-school activities, sports, etc. A common reaction to our kids' insane schedules is to drop everything that is important to us so we can cater to others' needs.  And by "important" I mean your …

Summer Fruit Fascination

I love all kinds of fruits and veggies. But right now I'm all about the summer fruits! Juicy watermelons, ripe, plump cherries, luscious nectarines! (And pineapple, which isn't exactly a summer fruit but I love them anyway!) They don't call fruit, nature's candy for nothing! They tame a sweet tooth and have the added bonus …
