My mom was diagnosed with MS in 1990. One of the first things I recall the neurologist telling us was that if she opted to go the betaseron, copaxone or interferon route, any of the drugs might work, might not work, or might make things worse and cause side effects, like cancer. Twenty plus […]
Read More ›Maybe so, but not in the way Consumer Reports recently presented them. Rather unfortunate, as many rely on this publication to get into the nitty-gritty of what any given product really has to offer, it’s pros and cons, whether or not something is fairly priced and if it’s a must-have or a must-skip. True, […]
Read More ›That 4pm slump. You know it well, don’t you? You’re itching to get out of the office, your mind is in a blur and that nagging twinge in your low back is screaming at you. In addition to having a hard time thinking about anything other than where you’re going to get your next sugar […]
Read More ›There are the must haves: the cast iron skillet, a good chef’s knife, a couple of solid cutting boards amongst them…and then there are the extras, the toys. From little gadgets, like a citrus juicer or garlic press, to more elaborate or expensive ones like a SousVide water oven, for anyone who’s idea of a […]
Read More ›I thought I’d overheard incorrectly but no, I was right.

Whether one drinks the effervescent drinks because of the health claims or the taste, the questions often arise: 1) Is it Paleo? 2) Is it actually a good idea for all to consume with reckless abandon […]
Read More ›Often, people who are new to Paleo are a bit daunted by what they perceive could potentially be a very costly way to eat. This certainly can be the case, but it doesn’t have to be. What if we grew our own produce, or at least some of it? Thinking there’s no way you’ll ever […]
Read More ›When you read this, I’ll be in the midst of a half marathon, (thanks to the Word Press auto-post I use nearly every day…). As much as I love posting about my latest race as I genuinely appreciate the good luck or have fun wishes I receive from you, my readers, this time I’m writing […]
Read More ›I loved it right away but it took a while for me to recreate it. Soft boiled eggs are a nice happy medium between raw- which has the most nutrients but, unless the source is one you’re completely comfortable with, could potentially harbor bacteria- and hard boiled, which cooks many nutrients to death! I’d order […]
Read More ›Ok, not really. But almost. In my favorite part, the Wednesday Dining Section, of course, amidst a restaurant review of a place in San Fran, my eyes fell upon the following phrase: “It was like having dinner in a drafty but luxurious cave owned by an extremely sophisticated hunter-gatherer…” There it is. No, the restaurant […]
