What’s Your Tipping Point?

Andrew — Wed, 22 May 2013 09:00:33 +0000

You’ve probably heard the idea of a “tipping point” — that moment in which you’re going along and something just “clicks” into place. Before that moment, there had probably been a long, slow build-up – perhaps through a lot of hard work, or perhaps totally unnoticed – and suddenly, in one instant, you reach that [...]

The winner of The Honeybee Project in Schools giveaway we hosted during the past two months became pretty jazzed when she learned her school officially had won a beehive. You see, Mary Leslie Ramsey, a science teacher at New Hope Christian Academy has plans for that beehive (and the Erewhon Organic Honey Grahams they won [...]

Ever since I was a child, I’ve been in love with Australia. From the charming accent of the locals, to the stellar weather, to some of my favorite actors, to the amazing food, that country resonates with me on a deep level, and I know I’ll make it there some day. In the meantime, I’m [...]

Just Hurry Up and Be Patient: Tips to Get Through the Weight Loss Process

Diane — Wed, 15 May 2013 09:00:22 +0000

What in life comes quickly? Pregnancy takes nine months, a college degree requires four or more years, and even planning a wedding takes time. Why do we want the weight loss process to be quick when little else in life is quick? Personally, I wanted to be done weighing 305 pounds. I wanted to be [...]

Summer Salad Topping: Parmesan Savory Granola

Shaina — Tue, 14 May 2013 09:00:32 +0000

At the outset, summer always seems endless, an ocean of possibilities that stretches on past the sunset and beyond the horizon. There are lists of things I want to do and always more garden projects than I can possibly keep up with. (This year I’m thinking 18 heirloom varieties of tomatoes sounds about right.) The [...]

The Mighty Rhubarb

Daniel — Mon, 13 May 2013 09:00:47 +0000

Spring is notable for one thing – my friend, the rhubarb. I am known to have a fondness for fruit but my love for rhubarb is perhaps topped only by the fruits of Asia (to be discussed in a future blog post). I grew up enjoying rhubarb embedded into a strawberry rhubarb pie, at a [...]

This time of year, we see peeks of summer with sunny 80 degree days. With warmer weather and more outdoor activity, we often crave lighter foods. My spring and summertime meals often include smoothies and big salads – light foods, cool foods replace the comfort food we enjoy all winter. Even with most of our [...]

Restaurants Did Not Make Me 420 Pounds

Tony — Wed, 08 May 2013 09:00:46 +0000

-I used to think differently though. Before I started working in the food industry, I truly felt like McDonald’s and Burger King was my enemy. They made food I could not resist, and I would eat a huge amount of it. I did not understand how certain people could only eat one burger. One slice [...]

Healthy Food to Eat When Life Gives You Rotten Lemons

katie — Tue, 07 May 2013 09:00:41 +0000

Flooded basements. A metropolitan city on lockdown. Dozens of homes demolished or damaged. Underwater sewage treatment plants (or almost). The Boston Marathon tragedy began an awful, awful, news week. Every time we turned around, someone else was in trouble somewhere in the country. The transition from life being normal to being in disarray is not [...]
