Flaxseed And Breast Cancer

As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’m taking a seminar course in nutrition and disease, that has a strong focus on cancer. A supplement vs. whole food project was one of our first assignments. We all got to pick a cancer and choose a food that has been shown to have anticancer properties. Then we had to evaluate whether the supplemental form or the whole food provides the most benefits. For me, I had no problem choosing....

Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving with loved ones.

And I’m so glad I did. As a blogger, engaging in social media is like breathing. It is so habitual that sometimes I forget how much time I spend away from developing and nurturing personal relationships with those around me....

Irish Cream Latte

If you love boozy coffee-flavored drinks, also try our espresso martini or coffee margarita. It’s a creamy latte spiked with a splash of Irish cream, making it less boozy than Irish coffee. It tastes milky and smooth with a mild coffee flavor, a bit of sweetness, and hints of vanilla and chocolate. You only need three ingredients to make it, and no special equipment is required. While a steam wand or milk frother will certainly give you some nice foam, heating up the milk on the stove absolutely does the trick....

Is My Toddler Turning Into A Picky Eater

When our children aren’t eating well, it’s easy to blame ourselves or the child. However, it’s really important that we consider and understand the children’s developmental stages. The biggest change that happens during the second year is the drastic slowing down of growth. During the first year, babies triple their birth weights, while during toddlerhood, average weight gain is around 4.5-6.5 pounds. And because they’re not growing as fast, they tend to have poorer appetite....

Ketchup Fried Rice

I lost my driver’s license a couple of weeks ago (on the day I passed the RD exam of all days). Note to self: Never store anything in the most unpractical place, a.k.a. the front pockets on women’s pants (minus jeans). I should’ve known it wasn’t going to be deep enough. I told the Hungryman that it must be a bad omen, and he said, “No. It would be if you had failed your exam AND lost your license....
