Juicy Morsel – Summer Drinks
When the heat is on, it is important to drink extra fluids throughout the day to stay hydrated. Minor dehydration can cause fatigue and decreased concentration before you notice the effects of more advanced dehydration such as headache or light-headedness.

Juicy Morsel – Starting Baby on Solid Foods Early
When I was guest speaking at an event last week, a Mom asked me if she should start her baby on solid foods because she was worried that she was too small.

Juicy Morsel May 15, 2009 – What’s in Season?
What’s in Season?
I really believe that taking advantage of the seasons is a big part of enjoying healthy eating. Eating what’s in season just feels good in a way that I just can’t explain. Think of corn on the cob at a picnic in August or baked squash in dreary November.
