Today I have a guest post from a new blogger, Kristen at Food Renegade. That’s her in the photo above. Adorable, don’t you think?

Carlsbad Aquafarms is now shucking the oysters on the spot — so you can just [...]

I’ve been making a lot of smoothies lately. It’s such an easy and quick way to provide nourishment. I especially like them because they make it so easy to take coconut oil. If you’re not doing dairy, just use coconut milk. I’ve been making these for Seth and he LOVES them!

Here’s an extremely fast, very healthy breakfast you can make when you are on the run:
1 cup raw milk, kefir or a combination
