Over the weekend, we visited our friends Matt and Phoebe for a fun cookout and we couldn’t help but be struck by how much their son AJ loves eating clean, healthy food just like us! He was snacking on what we were eating — fresh cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes and purple pepper strips — all from Matt

I’m a big fan of this seasonal vegetable that’s bursting with a whole host of nutrients, most especially Vitamin A, an important antioxidant.

It’s not like I don’t know I should drink more water but that’s got to be my biggest daily health challenge. I get so immersed in my work that I have a hard time focusing on it. Ring a bell for you at all? Are you a water guzzler or are you as dry as

Here’s a question for you: will eating only organic food give you all the nutrients you need to support and protect your body? If you said no, you’re on to something and keep reading.

This morning I had a piping hot bowl of butternut squash soup for breakfast and I loved it. A little atypical perhaps, but delicious all the same, not to mention super healthy (and even better, I used locally grown squash from the farmers’ market). Why soup for breakfast, you may ask?
