Looking for a quick, healthy lunch? Go to town with this bulgur salad! It whips up in 20 minutes, and will keep well for a few days in the fridge! (Bulgur is whole wheat, which has been cracked, and tastes a bit like cous cous).

Find the recipe for Bulgur with Herbs and other almond recipes at Epicurious.com

Eat those whole grains, Mamas! Brown rice and other whole grains contain lots of great nutrients, fibre, protein and a little fat, all of which prevents rapid spikes in blood sugar - leading to a better functioning, healthier body. You smart Mamas already knew this - but now Harvard says so too!

Americans who ate two or more servings of brown rice a week reduced their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by about 10 percent compared to people who ate it less than once a month.

Let's just get this straight Mamas! Rice Krispies are not good for your kids. And there is no way that puffed rice, loads of added sugar and synthetic vitamins will improve immunity or attentiveness. Quoting Michael Pollan - if a food makes some sort of health claim on the packaging, its more likely that it is actually really bad for you. Don't get sucked in to the marketing!

The Federal Trade Commission challenged the accuracy of claims about the health benefits of Rice Krispies.

Especially important for pregnant women and new mamas! Great ideas on how to incorporate more fruits and veggies into your diet!

The easiest way to get more fresh produce into your diet is to add fresh fruits and vegetables to the meals that you are already making. Fresh produce also gives things additional flavor.

I have a version of this simple, an delicious black bean soup in the crock pot. Great for a rainy day when you are under the weather (like me, today!). Toss it all in, and in a few hours - enjoy a warming, healthy meal.

Dried black beans are cooked all day in a slow cooker with chicken broth, canned jalapenos, cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper.
