This month, the Recipe Redux challenge was to create a healthy brunch dish for the shower season (ie baby/bridal) or a party drink with fresh ideas (my idea). This is too perfect for me being pregnant and I had to go with my original idea of crafting a delicious mock-tail.... Continue reading

When I found out I was pregnant with Jackson, a very good friend gave me a gift of several skin care products. With it came an explanation about the importance of taking care of your stretching skin and how to prevent stretch marks. I had no idea there were so... Continue reading

Although this topic is most definitely my expertise, I almost don't know where to start. There's so much I could talk about in this post. People have written (great) whole books about this topic!

Pregnancy Survival Guide: Fitness

The first time I heard my doctor tell me that now that I was pregnant, I shouldn't raise my heart rate over 140 beats per minute, I wanted to punch him. That just sounded ridiculous to me as I was accustomed to running and exercising at a moderate to high... Continue reading

Coconut Water 101 and Giveaway

Ginny, GREAT QUESTION!! Pastry flour is a softer, moister flour than regular whole wheat flour. If you have ever rubbed whole wheat flour between your fingers, you'll notice that it's very dry. Using whole wheat pastry flour helps give a softer, moisture texture to whole grain baked goods and avoid the "hockey puck-like" texture that regular whole wheat flour tends to produce.

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Apple Cookies

I love to bake. It's what I want to do on a day off or to relax or to challenge myself. Really, I'll bake at the drop of a hat. Last week (prior to Jackson returning to the hospital), I found myself at home on a "day off". And as... Continue reading

What Just Happened?

Monday morning, my son Jackson woke up not himself. He was very lethargic and didn't want to eat. I knew something was wrong but he didn't have a fever. So we packed up the car and made our way to day care. About 3 miles down the road I looked... Continue reading

{Easy} Coconut Orange Poached Salmon

From many years of professional and personal experience, it seems that fish is the protein that strikes the most fear in cooks. I know I am often intimidated to try anything outside of my normal bake or sear in pan method. I confess that I have royally screwed up many... Continue reading

Anne, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I agree that people are so different that everyone needs to develop their own healthy eating plan. That's why I love what I do so much. I help people put together the puzzle for them. Blessings, Jenna
