Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Fenwood Farm and chatting with Carol Fennema, who owns the farm with her husband, John. Carol and I discussed the differences between conventional meat (the typical stuff you’ll find at the grocery store) and...
My name is Laura, and I have sweat stains.

My name is Laura, and I have sweat stains.

It’s true. Not all the time, but when I wear certain colours or get too warm or feel nervous, it happens. You know why? I don’t wear antiperspirant. I haven’t in over eight years. Why would I want to use the stuff that blocks our natural sweating...

It’s Grrreat! (Granola)

Tony the who? Frosted Flakes may taste good and sweet (or grrreat, as Tony would proclaim), but they’ll make you feel anything but. The amount of sugar in those suckers is astronomical: over 2 teaspoons per 3/4 cup (and who stops at 3/4 of a cup, if we’re...
