  • Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

    Creamy drinks are such a treat.  One of my favorite fall drinks is a pumpkin spice latte, homemade!  (Good for my bank acct and even better for my nutrition, since I pick the ingredients!)  I made this for a party with some friends last fall and they loved it!  I got lots of requests for the recipe, so I thought I’d share it with you!

  • Top Fruits & Veggies to Buy Organic (Frugal Friday)

      Organic produce can get pricey, quickly!    We know that our health is worth the investment but, thankfully, we don’t have to buy ALL our fruits and veggies organic.    Check out the list below to learn which ones are worth the extra dough.  I recommend you print out this list (or bookmark it on your smartphone!) so you can have it when you shop. The Dirty Dozen may have 47-67 different pesticides on EACH serving, according to the Environmental Working Group.  Yuck!!  I honestly don’t buy the produce on this list at all anymore unless I can get the organic version.  (Did you see my post last week…

  • Junk Science at its Best in Supplement Study

    Did you see the recent headlines screaming about women increasing their mortality rates if they take supplements?   That would definitely be alarming – if it was true!! The Iowa Women’s study is junk science at its best.  A 9th grade science student would have received an F on this report if they’d reported the same conclusions! First flaw – no one looked to see if the women had any underlying health problems.  People with health issues generally take more supplements than those without any.   Life Extensions explains, “If a woman was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and began ingesting 40 supplements daily, but died six months later,…
