Recipe – Purple & Red Bell Pepper Ranch Salad

August 21, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 31 Comments

Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes I love discovering different variations of vegetables and fruit at my local Farmer’s market.  Better than the food samples at your local supermarket, vendors are proud to let you sample a slice of their juicy ripe nectarines, peaches, apples and other fruit.  Although you may not be […]

Have you heard the saying, “God touches us with a feather to get our attention. Then, if we don’t listen he starts throwing bricks”? After watching the video, below, by SodaSucks.org I thought, “Is this what is happening?” Did you know that “215,000 people younger than 20 years have diabetes”? Did you know that stroke is […]

Whew! We finally moved into our new home!  Moving is considered a major life event, and like all life events it is a stressful process.  Stress is caused by many things big and small such as taking an exam, running a race, fundraising, planning a wedding, and moving to a new home.

Three Lessons from a Picky Eater

June 7, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 56 Comments

  Last week my younger niece, Isa Bella, stayed with us for four nights.  I know she enjoyed her stay and playing with Uncle Luke (sometimes pronounced “look”).  Yet, I sometimes struggle with what to feed her. Okay, I tend to obsess about it. When it comes to nutrition I tend to offer different foods […]

Mediterranean Diet – is it the way to go?

May 24, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 31 Comments

A few croissants, jam, fruit, milk and coffee?  Where’s the protein?  It turns out everyone has a different idea of what constitutes a continental breakfast. Some places offer a “light” version while others offer a “full”.  A light is […]
