Stress. We all have it. We all hate it. We would all be happier and healthier without it. We can take steps to reducing the stressors in our day-to-day lives, but to some extent stress is inevitable and will remain out of our control. What we can control, however, is how we individually manage and…

Nuts for health…!
Jonesin’ for a snack? Instead of reaching for the box of processed crackers, the bag of greasy potato chips, or the stash of sweets try munching on some mixed nuts. Make your own trail mix in the bulk section of the grocery store and just keep a jar of it on hand. This just happens…
Snackin’…
I have to give credit to my dear cousin Brita for this one; a lady who knows her way around the kitchen. I really love chickpeas–they have such a great buttery flavor and they are a wonderful source of fiber, zinc, folate, and protein. Did you know that chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans? So…
Pico with peppers…
Make your own salsa!! Sharpen your knife skills (pun intended) and do some chopping with this recipe. Pico de Gallo (pronounced peeko day guy-o) salsa is a nice, fresh treat in the summer months. Again, it has that cilantro/lime combo that I love so much. Go ahead, give it a try. You know you want…
Why I get adjusted…
Do I get adjusted for backaches, headaches, neck pain/tension, knee pain, or all those other little twinges I feel with day to day life? Sure. Keeping the spine in alignment and moving is great for helping the body work efficiently as a mechanical unit. But does chiropractic care do more than that?? Yes, much more!…
Sitting, sitting, sitting…
Here’s one for all you daytime desk commandos out there. We are a society of sitters. Many of us sit all day long. We wake up and maybe sit down at the table to eat our breakfast, then we sit as we drive to work. We get to work, take a seat at our desk and maybe…
Salad made simple…
Well it is summer, which means it is time for veggies and fresh summer salads! I have several salad dressing recipes I’ll most likely share with you here, but since we’re getting into the busy mid-week I’ll share this one that just couldn’t be simpler. The thing about most of the store-bought, bottled salad dressings…
I Heart Cilantro
You’ll probably notice that a lot of my recipes over the summer involve cilantro and lime flavors. What can I say, there is just something about this combo in the summer months…it just tastes right. I learned this recipe from my aunt who is great in the kitchen. I modified it a bit. She makes…
Homemade Energy
Make your own energy drink with chia seeds! Yes, that’s chia seeds as in the chia pets with the crazy plant hair. In the realm of nutrition these little seeds pack quite a large punch. Chia was valued by the Aztecs as a “superfood.” The seeds contain protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids—including high amounts…
Let’s Talk Food…
I don’t know about you, but I find nutrition to be a tricky thing. Just when I start to feel like I’m doing the right thing new research comes out that suggests otherwise. I could go in depth here about numerous minute details to keep in mind when making choices about food, but that kind…
