Darn! I sliced an unripe cantaloupe. What to do with it? Well, I read online that if you sprinkle a little bit of granulated sugar on it, and allow it to sit for awhile, it’ll sweeten up some. I sprinkled some sugar on the cantaloupe slices (refrigerated) and ate them the following day for lunch. [...]

100% Whole Wheat Banana Nut Bread
IMPORTANT: I had originally calculated the nutritional data incorrectly. It’s been updated! I had three over-ripe bananas, and of course I thought of baking some delicious banana bread! I wanted to utilize a lower sugar (or at least lower processed sugar) recipe that uses whole wheat flour, and I think I have it! At 211 [...]
First Organic Peach of the Season
Oh I have been dying for peaches all winter, but I refuse to purchase the conventional ones from outside the US. The other day at Whole Foods Market, they had organic peaches from Mexico. Yeah, I rarely ever buy anything organic or not from Mexico, but I couldn’t resist buying just one. I kept it [...]
Too Much Sugar
Ugh, my stomach is going wacky tonight. I feel bloated, keep drinking water to try to settle myself. I made my yummy baked french toast tonight with apples and raisins, but this time, I topped it with warm blueberries cooked in sugar. At first, it didn’t taste very sweet, but by the end of my [...]

Pepino Melon
Pepino melon? One word – yuck! Not tasty at all! I bought one the other day, and peeled & sliced it tonight, tasted one piece, and tossed it out. Unfortunatly I won’t buy it again!
Kiwi
I am so behind the times! I am site I have tried kiwi at least one time in my life, but I really don’t remember! Anyway, I bought one the other day and I am just eating it tonight. Wow what flavor – it’s a cross between an apple and a strawberry & only 65 [...]
