Every time my son gets his braces tightened, his jaw hurts and he can’t eat solid food. So, he makes smoothies. While pulling ingredients out of the freezer for his liquid meal, he stumbled across a package of frozen broccoli. He dumped some of the green vegetables into the blender, along with the berries and [...]

If you are eating an apple a day in the hopes that it will keep the doctor away, I have bad news for you. My family has been eating lots of apples lately. More than one each a day. My kids like to dip their apples in peanut butter, and one week they ate so [...]

The month of October marks a couple of special anniversaries for our family. First of all, nine years ago this month we got our dog Hershey.

Everyone at my house is upset about the election results. So is everyone in the whole world. I know this because my 17 year old told me that everyone on Facebook (i.e. the whole world) is upset. Okay, so those are only his friends he is talking about, but he has a lot of friends. [...]
