Baseball season has begun. Between practices and games, you can find us at some baseball field (around northern Indiana) from now until late October (regular ball plus Fall ball.) That’s a lot of NOT being at home, which includes a lot of meals on the run. Since our family does not eat fast food or…

Crunchy Granola (And I Don’t Mean Dirty Hippie)
Somebody slap my hand because I can’t stay out of this homemade granola. I’m like a kid and a cookie jar. I talk about this like it’s a bad thing. It is, kind of. I mean, all of the ingredients are organic, healthy, whole foods, but I’m sure the calorie level is not okay when…
The Art of Reading an Egg Carton
Remember back in the day when you could just walk into the grocery store and grab a carton of eggs? Packed in yellow, (sometimes pink or blue) styrofoam cartons, eggs were just…well…eggs.

Assuming cottage cheese would be nothing more than cottage cheese, I never thought to check the label past the fat content. Recently, I did…and I was…
Take Your Pick: Chocolate Milk
Over nine years ago, I distinctly remember bringing home a gallon of chocolate milk, excited for my two year old to have his very first chocolate experience. I just knew he was going to love it. We were going to have so much fun together having a special night of movies, donuts and chocolate milk….
Take Your Pick: Fruit Snacks
How does one find a reasonable organic substitute for a child’s loved foods and snacks without making them feel like they are being “punished?” Has society gotten so far into our children’s heads as to make them think “real” foods are “bad” foods? Why is it that fast food, sugar and energy drinks are “cool”…
Take Your Pick: Root Beer
When making the switching to an organic lifestyle, one of the biggest fears I had was purchasing an organic product at a higher price and then not liking the product. An unsure feeling comes over me when I pick up an item and think, “What if no one likes this and it goes to waste?…
