The Reading Corner: Avoiding Fake Foods

December 12, 2011 By 1 Comment

The Reading Corner is a periodic series where I share interesting articles from around the web plus must-read books.  Pull up a comfy chair and get ready for some fun and interesting reads!

For this Reading Corner, I’d like to share some great posts about the fake foods that we are inundated with in our supermarkets.  These aren’t real foods and should be avoided!  As I continue to delve further into the world of traditional, nourishing foods, it becomes more and more eye-opening as to the deception that is taking place in our modern, processed foods.  Buyer beware!

Healthy treat

As a baton twirling instructor, I like to provide treats for my students at the end of a session, especially when it’s the holiday season.  However, as I have completely changed how I eat, it has really made me rethink what I give to my students.

Two Different Protein-Rich Breakfasts from One Set of Ingredients

September 21, 2011 By 2 Comments

Nicolette at Momnivore’s Dilemma is doing a great series on back-to-school protein-filled breakfasts and lunches.  I was happy to contribute a post about making two different breakfasts from the same set of ingredients.

Head on over to Momnivore’s Dilemma to read the rest!
