Delicious, Low Carb Beef Stew
To carb, or not to carb? That is the question. In my house, the answer is not too often. When my daughter started having digestive troubles a few years ago, and a gastroenterologist was all too quick to prescribe some questionable drugs, I immediately hit the books. What I discovered was that if...

I absolutely agree, Nancy! I make this all the time and I do add salt, but haven't updated the recipe since the blog's been on hiatus. One day I will transfer it to my health blog instead. Thanks for your feedback!

Starting the New Year with a New Site and Focus
I know it's a little late to be saying this, but Happy New Year! It's been a while, I know. That's because I've been completely immersed in creating a new site with a much narrower focus: health literacy and education. I now feel it's the one area that families need the most help with, as there ...

Thanks, Cath! You can certainly add some lemon juice to the batter, or even lemon rind sprinkled on top, after the icing.

Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Guilt-Free, Glazed Pound Cake
I never was one to eat pound cake. I would venture to guess that most people try to stay away from it too. But for me, I never really liked it anyway. I'm more of a chocolate person. Well, my daughter had to give up chocolate to go on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet I mentioned when I wrote up Lu...
Thanks, Evans! So glad you enjoyed it.
I appreciate the kind words. The whole saturated fat debate has heated up over the past week, and lots of great info can be found on Dr. Mark Hyman's FB page. There's also an in depth article from 2002 here as well:

I really appreciate you taking time out to leave a comment. Have a great summer!

Great Sports Fiction for 10 to 14 Year Old Boys
Thank you, John Feinstein! My 12 year old son is devouring your books, one by one. His least favorite sport is basketball, and while he usually avoids books revolving around it, he loved Last Shot. Anyone who's looking for some great books for reluctant sports readers, you might want to give the...
Thanks, Rick! Good luck with yours.

Welcome to World Read Aloud Day! In honor of the big event, as well as the Share a Story, Shape a Future blog tour this week, I'd like to share my list of reasons why parents won't want to miss out on reading aloud to their children. I've written many related posts, and I will also include links...

I agree. And adults will get even more out of it! You know me, I so believe in the importance of turning the pages of real children's books, instead of relying on eReaders. Our children will have plenty of time for those!

Open 2 Books: Turn Those Pages
I was at my local library looking for Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree for a presentation I have to give next week, when I stumbled upon Lane Smith's It's a Book . Finally, I thought, I get to see it! I remember there being a lot of hoopla about it when it first came out, but since I don't u...

Can a strength and a weakness be the same thing?
In my case, yes. If you've been reading this blog for a while, you've probably spotted what "it" is. I love to read and seek out high quality resources! The online library catalog is my playground, while the internet is... Continue reading

When Children Think They Don't Like to Read, Part 5
Bridging the Genres of Children's Literature © Dawn Riccardi Morris I'd like to refine my vision of the two islands I mentioned the other day. One was for children who like to read, and the other was for children who think they don't. So, let me just ask: which island do you think the st...

Strengths and Weaknesses: We all have them!
So, why do so many of us examine our weaknesses through a magnifying glass? It would make sense that such a tendency would relate to events or conversations that happened when we were children. Like everyone else, I have my... Continue reading
