Stewed fruit: no cooking, no mess, no sugar. So simple and fruity, you can have it for breakfast, too.
We have two shelves worth of “brain supplements.” But how much of it really works? We’re going to look at just a few of my favorites — not for people with diagnosable problems, but just the rest of us who could use a little help.
No grains in these dark purple-black, fiber-rich savory pancakes. A delightful holiday treat. You can call them “latkes” for Chanukkah. Or just call them delicious.

Baked apples stuffed with crumbled store-bought macaroons. They’re simple. They’re wholesome. They’re truly delicious.
A study published just last month in The Lancet, England’s most respected medical journal, has confirmed that artificial food colorings and preservatives make children hyperactive.
Mushrooms lack chlorophyll, which means they don’t produce food for themselves through photosynthesis. Instead they absorb nutrients from compost, leaves, decaying wood, and soil. Wild mushrooms, like those Asiago uses, provide a more intense and exotic flavor, and I like to think more nutrients since that’s usually the case with wild foods. We all

Superfruit juices are a relatively new development. But in the last decade really, in the last few years they’ve leapt into the mainstream with a vengeance. We evaluate what’s real, and what’s just a fad.

In May, I feel in transition mode, not wanting heavy, cooked wintry dishes, but not ready yet for summer corn or salads made from ripe tomatoes. This easy salad, which can be a meal, suits my fancy in spring. Did you know that chard actually came from the Mediterranean and Asia Minor? That while it
We’ve all heard about pesticide and industrial residues in non-organic raspberries, strawberries, spinach, and liver. Here are three crops we don’t normally hear about — but among the worst offenders.
“How (you might ask yourself) could MON863 possibly have been approved for human consumption? Well, there’s an interesting story here.”
Lots of glorious greens, lentils and hard-boiled egg for heft, and a little salt punch from the feta and olives.

Perfect for days that are still cold and often blustery. Of course you can substitute veggie sausage, or use diced yams instead of butternut squash. .
This is an article about skin. Not “problem skin,” but skin that glows with health, and ages well. It’s about thick, luxuriant hair, and strong teeth.
