Are Antidepressants Deadly?
Are Antidepressants Deadly? I have to share this with you because it really resonated with me. I’m not the only one who will identify with this I am sure. The question is…are antidepressants deadly? When I was depressed, I never seriously thought about ending my life, but I did sometimes think those who were gone were lucky not to be dealing with the pain of being here and dealing with life. This is raw for me to admit, but because my mission is to share how I healed myself and cured my depression with food, not with drugs, I have to put this out there for you to read and…

Are You Confused About How to Read Food Labels?
Are You Confused About How to Read Food Labels? My next live event will be held this coming Wednesday. The topic, by request from an attendee from my November event, is how to read food labels. I thought it was a great topic as there’s so much confusion and misinformation about how to read food labels. I wish I could say the confusion created by food companies is unintentional… The simple fact is that the front of a package is advertising. It’s marketing, and what most people don’t realize is that it doesn’t have to be specific or really be the truth. The front of the package or box can scream…

In the article she wrote, ”Maybe I drank it too fast, but after each glass of ACV-infused water, I felt like I’d just eaten something gone bad… I’m not making the ACV-water blend part of my daily routine.

Broccoli – Easy and Tasty…It can be an amazing side dish!
Broccoli – Easy and Tasty I love broccoli; it’s good for you, so we eat it frequently. Always fresh, and always organic… My tastes are simple. I come from a family that ate a very bland English-style diet. Meat, chicken or fish, a very well cooked (or often overcooked) vegetable and potato or rice. No sauces, no spices. My husband Rob’s family ate a very Mediterranean diet. Lots of flavors, sauces and spices. Living and cooking with Rob has been a learning curve that continues to this day. Tonight, when I reinvented leftover soup that started as vegetarian two nights ago, became a salmon stew last night and then morphed…
