One of the more unfortunate FDA labeling rules is allowing food manufacturers to label beta carotene as Vitamin A.
There’s a common misunderstanding that beta-carotene found in fruits and vegetables is the same thing as vitamin A.
It’s not!…
Totally Satisfying, Gluten-Free, Almond Flour Fudge Brownies
Post and photos by Diana from My Humble Kitchen.
[I have been eagerly building my repertoire of gluten-free recipes, so when I tried and really loved Diana’s wonderful almond flour fudge brownies, it seemed natural to ask her to guest post their baking journey and her recipe. I used Honeyville blanched almond flour. I love that it stores well in the freezer and has the skins removed by a quick soaking to cut down on phytic acid.]
I don’t believe there are many things that taste as good as a freshly baked loaf of bread, slicing into its blistered crackling crust, warm from the oven, and then smothering it with golden butter. Love. That’s what it is. I absolutely love bread but as I’ve grown older, I’ve found that I don’t digest it as well as I used to.
Bummer, right?

Essential oil blend Peace & Calming® by Young Living is a very helpful blend. Only problem is, because of its popularity, quantities are often limited (and have been out of stock in the past) according to their website. Post updated 1/2019.
A friend messaged me with this question:
“My daughter has been suffering from postpartum depression again, after this second baby. She is doing better now but one thing she relies on is an essential oil a friend gave her by Young Living called Peace & Calming. Do you know of any equivalent products? It is getting difficult to obtain and occasionally they are out. It seems to relieve her anxiety and helps her to sleep. Thank you.”…

Are eggs bad for you, good for you, or somewhere in between?
The answer will be different depending on when you live. I was raised eating lots of eggs in the 50s but was taught they were bad for you in nursing school in the 70s and carried that thinking into my job as a heart nurse. For the past 4 decades or so, those in the health industry strongly recommended limiting eggs in the diet because of the amount of cholesterol in the yolks, even promoting crazy products such as Eggbeaters.

Sheila Kilbane’s Natural Alternative Recipe For PediaSure®
When I read integrative pediatrician Sheila Kilbane’s first encounter with PediaSure®, I choked with laughter, bc I personally know how awful the stuff tastes! [I thank Sheila for writing the second part of this post for me. She is a true advocate for children and parents in the best sense of the word.]
Sheila was on a long road trip three years out of pediatric residency and ran out of food. She was famished and forced to purchase something at a West Virginia gas station. She grabbed a bottle of PediaSure®. It seemed like the only “healthy” choice beside Little Debbies, Twinkies and HoHos. Despite being a pediatrician, until that moment she had never experienced PediaSure® or read the label….
