Hello friends. Summer is off to a great start in my little section of the Northern Hemisphere! I love the laid back and carefree attitude that the warm weather brings along with it. Last week, I attended a 2 day conference at Harvard Medical School titled, Diet and Microbiota  in Health and Disease. Topics such as […]

I have been in Maine the past 2 weeks, working some, baking some and enjoying nice long walks with Lucy, my chocolate lab.  It’s been a nice mix between work, enjoying nature and our little cottage.

Summertime means salad time! And I love adding nuts and fruit to my salads!  This week, I concocted a nice quick fix salad that I thought I would share with you. I am a big fan of kale.  I can honestly say I crave it.  I was so happy when the Monash University researchers tested […]

Hello Friends.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that your week is off to a great start!  I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at our little Maine cottage.  The weather was picture perfect! Maine is a special place–especially in the summertime. Today I thought I would talk a bit about carbohydrates {sound fun?!?} and […]
