Blackberries are fun and beautiful fruits that can be found in many places around the world. There is research suggesting that people have been eating blackberries for thousands of years. I love blackberries. They are delish!
Cancer Fighting Superfoods
It really is true. Food is medicine. Everything Mother Nature provides can be a healing source for all disease, but for many, it can be overwhelming. What DO I eat and where do I start? There are so many “diets” out there it’s crazy in my opinion. Even with a holistic background there is always more to learn, but I find keeping it simple keeps it easy!
Delicious Dandelions
When I was growing up as a little girl, my mother would bring me in the yard and taught me how to pick dandelions for our salads. Our salads were so yummy! When most people think of dandelions, they normally think of them as obnoxious weeds that take over our yards.
Awesome Almonds
Almonds have always been known as a healthy snack for people who need a middle-of-the-day energy boost but are watching their carb intakes. It’s more than just about watching your carbohydrate intake, however. Almonds are healthy, taste great, are incredibly versatile, and can be incorporated into your breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert—not just as a snack.
Savory Scallions
Something I always keep in the fridge is a bunch of scallions. Not only do they taste great in everything, they are also good for you.
It’s About Thyme!
Thyme is an herb from the Mediterranean, where it is used ornamentally, medicinally and incorporated into their diet. Most of the thyme plant has been used in medicinal practices for a long time. The flowers, oil, and leaves have all been used for various treatments: arthritis, diarrhea, sore throat, stomach aches, etc.
Squash Your Health Goals
Squash isn’t just a sport, it’s also a healthy and versatile food. It has a sense of mystery around it also. Not because it’s difficult to cook with; mostly the mystery surrounding it has to do with the fact that it isn’t commonly used in kitchens year-round. So, let’s get rid of some of that mystery today!
Powerful Pomegranate
They are such a beautiful fruit, aren’t they? They’re so beautifully rich and red. The arils (those lovely jewel-type interiors that contain the white seeds) are full of flavor, vitamin C and antioxidants.
Colorful Cherries Can Brighten Your Day
One of my fond memories of cherries is picking them off the tree and eating them. Oh my, I just love the dark cherries! I know this is not the healthiest, but my mother would put a scoop of ice cream in a bowl, top it with whipped cream, then drop a cherry right on top. Since then, I’ve associated cherries with dessert. After all, they are sweet and decadent.
Crazy Cabbage
Cabbage is often one of the vegetables that gets ignored or forgotten. Except for St. Patrick’s Day, they normally just sit in the produce section in peace. But I’m here to open your eyes just a little to the wonderful world of cabbages.
