The Affect Of Fiber On Your Health
This topic is near and dear to my heart. For years; unbeknownst to me, I was consuming foods that were completely devoid of nutrients, fiber included. I was frequently in and out of the hospital with bouts of digestive pain and swelling, an experience I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. Doctors would recommend lactulose (a synthetic…

Bacon Wrapped Figs
I knew that if I didn’t post this recipe today there would be a hoard of people hunting me down for it. When trying these my sister said “I didn’t know what a fig looked like outside the newton” and honestly I didn’t either. This was my first go at eating and preparing figs. Needless…
Introduction To Allergies
We have been conditioned to think of allergies in a very limited capacity. When many of us think “allergy” the first symptoms that come to mind are runny eyes, stuffed up nose, sinus problems, skin rashes, or in more drastic cases, anaphylactic shock (most commonly experienced by those with peanut, penicillin, and bee sting allergies)….
