Soften Saturday: Are you eating “Clean?”

June 28, 2014 By Johnna 2 Comments

If you’ve spent any time here on my blog or attended a cooking class with me, you know that I don’t believe in one singular path to health.  My path isn’t going to be the same path as your path.  I don’t eat gluten because I have Celiac disease.  I don’t dig eating meat, but…

May 17, 2014 By Johnna 2 Comments

Last Sunday, Mother’s Day, is at once joyful and for others, painful.

Soften Saturday: Organic vs. Conventional Fruits & Veggies

May 10, 2014 By Johnna 2 Comments
