My 20 dollar haul from Bulk Barn, wheat germ, Scottish oats, spelt spaghetti and millet. Far be it for me to poop on the Easter Bunny, that dentine-detesting harbinger of Spring. But hey. This morning, I drove  to the nearest  Bulk Barn , hoping that their spelt spaghetti was less...

We all have quirks. Some of us obsess over little things, have insomnia, insecurities, addictions... nobody's perfect... we all have flaws... blah, blah, blah. Try going without sugar for a month and see what happens. Read your labels and be honest with yourself. I'm not big on sugar, I seem to do...

“Does this make me look fat?” How many times have you been cornered into answering this question?  Or how many times have you asked this question?  We are living in a weight-obsessed, body conscious society even though ironically two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. There...

I will start by saying that as of late - I only check the mailbox after I see the mail spilling out of it. Why?

Sugar, Chocolate, and Sweet Breads Yesterday I had to stop and get sugar for the office. I thought while I was at it, I would bring in a sweet treat. Not chocolate because the boss doesn’t know how to stop eating it and will eat and eat until he may get a bellyache. And the few others that may want...

I’ve heard that when you crave sugar what you really need is protein. It’s unfortunate to be addicted to refined white sugar and all the myriad of products it’s listed in. Any more than a little bit can make you feel uncomfortable in your skin. It’s also hard on your teeth and I understand that the...

The image of a kid on a bike losing his teeth while riding no-hands and showing off to  his mother is a humorous one and not that far from the reality of what really happens to our health when we aren’t watching where we’re going or paying attention to what we’re putting in our mouths.

We are experiencing our annual ant invasion another sure sign of Spring. They are in the house and they are looking for sugar. They send out scouting parties usually squad size. If they find no sugar they move on. They very quickly give up the bedrooms and the bathrooms. They will go for a cough...
