There is no doubt that we are busy people, yet we always seem to find time for those activities that we enjoy the most. The fact that you are reading this post tells me that you have free time, and chances are this is not a quick visit to the computer, nor will it be the last time [...]

Do you want to know the one food that has all you need to build lean muscle and burn bodyfat? Oh yeah, and it tastes great AND is easy to prepare! Your mother always told you to “eat your breakfast,” it’s the most important meal of the day!” Well, your Mom was right… again. Just [...]

Those unfamiliar with spirits (liquor, not ghosts) might not a have a clue what the title of this article means. No, this is not an article about a nearly dry river bed that is now flourishing due to a recent and well overdue rainfall. It’s not the story of how this stream will now quench [...]

For all you busy dads who can’t find the time to master the art of roasting and basting and chopping and sauteeing to get a meal on the table like your mother used to make, take heart.  I have some short cuts to offer so you can get a healthy meal on the table in just 30 minutes. What is a [...]

My 16-month-old daughter eyes me warily as I open the mysterious box that has just arrived and pull out a strange bowl that looks nothing like any of her bowls.

I’m embarrassed to admit I’m jealous of my 2 1/2-year-old son’s physique. Bubba might have stick-figure arms and chicken legs, but his stomach is on par with a Calvin Klein model.
