Healthful hints is back again, and today we’re talking coconut sugar. We’ve chatted about why I choose coconut sugar over agave nectar, I’ve used it in small amounts during my candida adventures, and many of my reduced sugar recipes call for it… but what is coconut sugar exactly, and what’s so special about it?

Kevin and I love Christmas. Each year around this time, we begin our gingerbread house building plans, decorate the tree, and we even go as far as planning exactly what we’ll make together for breakfast on Christmas morning. When you read together, instead read – Kevin playing with the dogs while I make breakfast. Team…

The last 24 hours are a complete blur. My head knows that it’s morning, but my body is telling me I should be getting ready to snuggle up in bed. Regardless, I’m sure I’ll be in tip-top shape tomorrow. We got into London around 11am local time yesterday (Sunday). By the time we checked into…

[source] Congratulations, Andrea! You’ve won the giveaway! I’ll send you an email to get your details. Thanks for participating everyone :) ~ I bought my very first bag of kelp noodles from Upaya Naturals in August. Sadly, I can’t claim that there was much thought put into the purchase.

One of the lessons I’ve learned from tracking my daily eats in my food journal, is that my body responds really well to squashes. Every time I eat them I feel energized, satiated, and if done up right, they satisfy my sweet tooth, too! I’ve been trying to introduce myself to a new type of…
