Fiery Egg Salad With Homemade Sriracha
I have fond memories of Easter as a kid. My mom would clip branches of a bright yellow blooming forsythia bush for our Easter tree that was adorned with springtime decorations. We dyed eggs, hunted them down, and ate chocolate bunnies and Cadbury mini eggs until we never wanted to eat again. And of course there were hard-boiled eggs for weeks. I was never a big fan of egg salad, mostly because I despised jarred … [Read more...] about Fiery Egg Salad With Homemade Sriracha

Head Lice Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention
Sometimes kids catch weird germs...or bring home bugs. Like lice - yuck. Though not technically an illness, head lice symptoms are certainly a nuisance and a cause of distress for parents, teachers, and kids alike. Like me, you may remember the school nurse coming around the school with a comb checking heads for little white bugs the size of sesame seeds.

Pumpkin Ice Cream Recipe
I just LOVE the holidays. There are so many festive, nutrient dense foods to share - like this pumpkin ice cream!
