Pasta: the best food for cheap meals
Pasta is quite possibly the best food for making cheap meals. For less than $2, you can buy a pound of pasta.

Even women with extensive health knowledge, who seem to get everything right, get cancer. We know there are some things we can’t control.

A pretty good value, and they make delicious meals any time of day. Read More »

What’s in season where you live?
This week when I picked up fresh produce from my community-supported agriculture (CSA) share, my booty was full of beets, carrots, winter squash and onions. You can definitely tell what season it is from each week's pick-up. An e-mail from a friend in Georgia, detailing her perfect late-summer meal, got me wondering what’s in season around the country. Here’s a taste of what is in season around the rest of the U.S. Read More »

A few weeks ago I was using my flat iron and when I looked in the mirror to admire my ’do, I discovered my first gray hair (gasp!). It was the first time I was visibly confronted with the reality that, surprise, I will age, and I’m not 18 anymore no matter how good I feel.
