Growing up, I hadn’t realized just how much I loved radishes. My mother would sneak radishes into her stews and salads. Since I’m now older and wiser and remembering my younger times, I know just how good of a parent she was for it. They’re crispy and light. As a kid, I loved them without realizing just what they were.
“Listen to your Mother,” I always remember my Dad chastising me as a child! Dr. Mom was right when she said, “Eat your broccoli…It’s good for you!” So, it took science a few decades to catch up to the wisdom of MOM. I’m sure these scientists had mothers, too, and it looks like a few of them listened.
Dates are Delicious! Better yet, they’re filled with many great nutrients. This means that they’re great to have as a snack as long as you can do so in moderation. If you’re going to be snacking, dates are a healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Especially since dates are also high in iron and vitamin B-6.
Wow! It is fall…my favorite time of year. When I think of fall, quite a few things come to mind: pumpkins, beautiful foliage and apples. Especially apples… I love apple cider and warm apple pie when the air is crisp outside. I wanted to share some of the many wonderful things about this beautiful and nutritious fruit.

Grapefruits are a unique citrus fruit known for its sour and bitter flavor. While it is mostly known for being a light fruit eaten in the warmer months, we shouldn’t neglect this fruit when the weather turns.
What you eat can be your best medicine or your slowest poison. We have all heard of the new popular weight-loss diets like the Paleo, Keto, and, of course, the Atkins diets.
Today’s wonderful topic is one that I love dearly: tomatoes. They have always been one of my favorite foods, and they are oh-so-good for you, too! So, let’s talk about why they’re so great!
If 2020 has taught us anything, it is that nothing is permanent, and each day is a gift. What we focus on with the people that influence us, and the beliefs we hold and take for granted were certainly challenged.
Pistachios are great because they are not filled with calories (like other snacks you might mindlessly munch on) but are instead filled with nutrients like healthy fats, magnesium, potassium, fiber, Vitamin B-6, phosphorus and thiamin. In fact, just a single serving of pistachios is almost 40% of your recommended daily intake of Vitamin B-6 (which is important for cognitive development and protein metabolism).
