NEW info:  Cocoa powder should be limited to ~3 teaspoons per serving SO limit to 1 small brownie!

Have you ever really looked at all the ingredients on the bread you buy?  I find myself feeling so frustrated when I run into my local grocery store to grab a loaf of bread and can’t find one with simple recognizable ingredients.  Event the store’s bakery breads often contain high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated fats […]

There are many reasons to eat a sweet potato.  One of them is that they taste great! Check out this MONDO size potato that I picked up at my Tangerini’s CSA last week! Look at the orange-y goodness! Did you know that sweet potatoes are harvested and then cured for 2 weeks before they are […]

I haven’t had a moment to fully share the “science” part of my September 2011 Australia trip!
