Who wouldn’t want to start everyday, knowing you have a team of nutritional professionals at your back carefully helping you select the best breakfast to meet your health and nutrition goals?   Imagine this nutritional dream team in your corner – if only your health insurance would front the cash to have these experts guiding your […]

Of course I made you cookies. What kind of mother do you think I am?

It is true that my oldest son didn’t know what came out of an ice cream truck until he was nearly seven years old.  It’s not because I have a personal and scholarly interest in nutrition.  It was because in our former neighborhood, the ice cream truck played “La Cucaracha” (ew) and the driver looked like something […]

The last Raffi CD I listened to is in the median of I-96, somewhere between Lansing and Grand Rapids.  Who knew Marilyn Manson would have such a fun way to teach the kiddos about healthy nutrition. WAY more fun than Raffi.

They have arrived! I have been waiting for my babies for almost a week now.  This is my second batch.  I neglected and killed the first bunch. They started growing, became demanding,  I didn’t feed them and they died.  Then I forgot about them. Despite my failure, The Goat Lady (TGL) put more babies in […]

Will you call her and give her your muffin recipe?” When a five year old passes you digits because you have great muffins, you KNOW you have great muffins. These are from a fantastic vegan website call The PostPunk Kitchen.  http://theppk.com Don’t tell anyone they are vegan.  They will wrinkle their nose, call you a […]
