This happened because one of my coaching clients told me I need to share more of myself with all of you; that is, more of what I eat to be healthy. What kind of meals helped me lose the weight and the chronic depression that plagued me for years is what she wanted to know. She also wanted to see how I make the meals. It’s hard for me to say “no” to my coaching clients and even harder to say “no” to this particular one,…

Are apples good or bad for you?
Are apples good or bad for you? Are apples good or bad for you? How would you feel about eating apples every day if you were to discover that studies have shown that apples and their many bits and constituents protect and inhibit initiation and the spread of cancers such as liver cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer and potentially many more types of cancer?

Today is National Food Day

Eating was necessary, but I didn’t really eat with enthusiasm. I didn’t realize I just didn’t like the foods I was raised on.

I admit to being a strange kid food-wise. Hated steak and peanut butter and loved liver and spinach…go figure……
