But is my child … [Read more...] about Is My Child Contagious?
Is Stevia Healthy Or Just Another Toxic Processed Chemical?

Turns out though, that stevia may be a pretty darn good sugar replacement for those who really need or … [Read more...] about Is Stevia Healthy Or Just Another Toxic Processed Chemical?
Dried Persimmon Snacks Recipe
I don’t know about you but I just love my dehydrator. It works so hard for me. The poor thing runs year round at my house. It is always busily making me on-the-go snacks like kombucha jerky, holiday decorations, and these dried persimmon snacks. Before I got myself a dehydrator, I dried almonds in my oven on the lowest setting, but not much else. If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can use your oven, but I highly suggest … [Read more...] about Dried Persimmon Snacks Recipe

Pumpkins and other gourds can keep for weeks in a cool storage space. I … [Read more...] about Pumpkin Ice Cream Recipe

How To Eat Gluten Free In Paris
Doesn't it feel like a miracle when you discover the perfect gluten free pizza crust or loaf of bread? One of the undeniably sad things about a gluten free diet is the lack of truly delicious baked goods. So when my friend, Carly, told me about her satisfying experience eating her way through cafes and patisseries in Paris (sans gluten!), I knew you'd love to hear all about it too...bon appétit! ~Emily I was sitting in the … [Read more...] about How To Eat Gluten Free In Paris
