Smoothie Fever
My sister introduced me to the miracle of smoothies several years ago. Never a veggie fan, I learned that smoothies are a delicious way to consume nutrient packed spinach, kale, celery and cucumber (to name but a few).

Beef Bone Broth
I rarely watch the food channels on television. I get agitated by loud electric guitar rifts used for background music while trying to listen to high-strung extroverts show off their culinary skills. I know I’m being mean and generalizing, but it’s how I feel about television in gene...
