I enjoyed a cup of tea long before I knew it could help me in my quest to become a healthier person. Upon discovering that something I enjoyed doing on a daily basis could actually help improve my health, I decided it was time to do some research.

food and nutrition, Food, issue 76, recipe

More than likely, this wasn’t a typical holiday season for you and your family. Maybe part of your family decided to stay home due to health concerns, or maybe they didn’t like who you voted for. Either way, you’ll probably have some major leftovers. Don’t despair! Put your leftovers to good use! Save yourself some time with meals ready to go in the oven that don’t taste like you’ve already eaten them for three days.

Cottage Food Businesses in Michigan: Creative Connections and Community

Cottage Food Businesses in Michigan: Creative Connections and Community
food and nutrition, food section, local business, issue #90

Michigan’s Cottage Food Law allows small businesses to make and sell homemade foods from their home kitchens without cumbersome and expensive commercial licensing or inspections. Goodies like breads, jams, cookies, candies, granola, and more can be sold directly to consumers at farmers’ markets, roadside stands, and fairs. It can be a wonderful way to connect with the community.

Most continents have their own unique tea blends. Maté is typical to South America and Rooibose to South Africa. True tea, or camellia sinus, can be found all over Asia. For the longest time, I could not believe there was not a plant or herb that was unique to the North American continent that could be considered tea. Then, I discovered Yaupon tea while on vacation in Florida.

Gardening Phenology: Planting by Nature’s Cues

As a gardener, and a general nature romantic, my heart begins to feel torn around mid-February. On one half, I want to honor the last of winter’s deep rest and on the other half, there is the burgeoning energy of spring’s return. One of my favorite activities at this time is to thumb through my seed stores, as well as the new year’s seed catalogs, and begin to plan my garden in earnest.
