The Perfect Breakfast

October 10, 2017 by Denise Leave a Comment

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect breakfast. Eating a good breakfast makes it much easier to keep making good choices throughout the day. If I eat an unhealthy breakfast I start the day already behind. We only have so much willpower each day, and use it up as the day progresses. If a […]

For several years now the FDA has known that levels of arsenic in rice are much higher than is healthy. They just don’t know what to do about it.

Breakfast for a Week in Just Five Minutes

February 21, 2017 by Denise Leave a Comment

I love having oatmeal for breakfast, but I don’t love making oatmeal in the morning. Too much time on the stove, too much cleanup from the inevitable boil-over in the microwave.

Avocado Toast, the New Cupcake

June 3, 2014 by Denise Leave a Comment
