All we need is an espresso and the Eiffel tower in the background and we’d have the perfect OLYMPIC coffee break . (although I think scones are more English than Parisian. hmmmmm) I LOVE scones!! Remember when Panera used to have these orange scones to die for? I am not sure why they discontinued their…

Should I treat my Cholesterol with STATINS?
I have high Cholesterol. When I follow a very strict vegan diet with seafood exceptions, I can get my numbers into the mid-200’s. My HDL numbers (good) drive my numbers up and I do not have a family history of heart disease. I wanted to know if the food I was eating would make…

I have always eaten healthy and when I chose to become a vegan with seafood exceptions I wanted to be sure I was eating the right things and getting all the important nutrients I needed. This is a list of the most basic things I make sure are happening on a regular basis. (This is…
CROCKPOT BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Oooooo….Discovered this yummy recipe through my daughter. It’s a keeper!! I am going to do my soup in the instant pot instead of the crock pot. Both are great options!! I am NOT a big fan of peeling a butternut squash and when I asked my brother to peel the last one, he cut the…
