Key to eating healthy is knowing when to eat. We've all had times when we've skipped meals or tried to make up for it by eating a large meal all at once.

“Eat healthy”, we hear it everywhere we turn. It is and isn’t that simple. I will try to share relevant, tasty, and healthy recipes for you to enjoy as we puzzle out what it means to eat healthy. I am among the many folks who eat around food sensitivities and an auto-immune disease. I am still in the process of figuring out how to eat for my body’s needs but have found many delicious foods and products along the way. Today I offer a chicken recipe that suits the peak of our Summer season- enjoy!

Are you thinking of having a bundle of joy any time soon? If so, it is important to take care of yourself now so that you and baby are healthy and happy! Many times, people come off their birth control pills/patch/ring expecting to conceive right away. If not then, then at least in the few months that follow. Some women are fortunate enough to have no issues making the transition from hormonal birth control to doing everything on their own smoothly and soundly. Others however need a little more adjustment time. This is actually an important time to have because bringing your body into balance sometimes takes time.

Women tend to be natural care givers which often gets misconstrued with "responsible for everything on earth".  Between children, relationships, career, home, errands and so on, it is hard to find that balance that brings us out of that frenzied state, and into our own state of relaxation.  Heart disease is the number one killer among women.  It is important to remember that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of everyone and everything else!
