“If I Could Make September Stay”, (with Roasted Carrots With Pesto)

End of September means fall, the prelude  to winter…sigh. The good side if it is there are so many farmer's markets up here in Oregon, and the fruits and veggies have these amazing fall colors.. A farmer's market sets up shop every Thursday right outside my job, and I was amazed by those muti-colored carrots. […]

Men’s Health: The dangers of Low Testosterone Topical Gels and other “Low T” medications

….there are some VERY good holistic, natural alternatives, READ ON!!!! I saw another "Low T" (low testosterone) commercial yesterday, the one with the rugged looking cowboy with the handsome head of grey hair, and I realized I can't take anymore of this "false advertising".

“The Coconut Oil Conspiracy”: How big business kept this incredibly healthy oil from the masses……

….by convincing people that all saturated fats are bad for you…which is false!!!

Body, (Part 14) a.k.a. “ROCK IT!!” (The “Rockin’ the Grey Hair” Slideshow)
