I love handing adults little vials of foul-tasting “herbal elixirs,” or handfuls of giant-size horse pills. I say “here – take this – it will make you feel better.” And they do. And it does. Adults are easy. Kids, not so much… Medically, they could take the same medicines. But often, they just won’t. If

Ahhh, cobblers…! Mostly fruit, some whole grains, a little healthy fat and unrefined sweeteners. Easy to make, easy to bake. Serve with ice cream for dessert, or yogurt for breakfast.

One of the great global street foods comes home. Debra’s rendition adds a touch of buckwheat (instead of wheat flour), for depth of flavor and no gluten.

This is an article about skin. Not “problem skin” – we’re not going to focus on problems like acne, eczema, or psoriasis – but supple skin that glows with health, and ages gracefully. It’s about thick, luxuriant hair, and strong nails.

What are mushrooms anyway? They’re not vegetables, they’re not fruits. They don’t grow leaves, roots, flowers or make seeds. They don’t require sunlight to grow, or produce chlorophyll. They live off decomposing plant matter. Well, mushrooms are in fact fungi whose only happiness lies in releasing spores into the air so they can procreate. And

This soup isn’t a traditional chowder. But we’re going to call it a chowder anyways, because it’s creamy and chunky at the same time. Red lentils (masoor dal) cook quickly and melt into the base of rich coconut milk, bright tomatoes, and gentle spices. Shiitake mushrooms give you something to chew on, and you can

It’s getting harder and harder to live a simple life. I’m not talking about politics. I’m talking about being able to take a walk without having to breathe in the “fumes” from people’s laundry. I’m talking about being subjected to the smell of people’s detergent and dryer sheets when you go anywhere in public. Advertisements

This will take you literally 15 minutes, tops. It’s all sorts of green. It’s hearty, tastes great, works equally well as a side and a main, and you only have to clean one pot. What’s not to love? It also uses some ingredients you may not be familiar with. Trust me: get them. And not
