While hiking into the Rocky Mountains back in the spring of 2000 Lara Merriken had an idea. Why not put all the natural goodness of fruits and nuts into a healthy snack bar. Full of energy, gluten free and pure. Twelve years later her company based in Denver, Col. produces millions of Larabars or LÄRABARs [...]

Skipping burgers for a day or How to start a global food movement The healthy concept of Meatless Mondays is more than a revolutionary fad; instead, this is an incredibly healthy strategy to encourage global participation in positive eating habits.

Hello hello! Sorry it has been so quiet around here. Karol and I have been working on a side project related to NMM the last few weeks that has kept us away from here [more details on that in the near future!]. Just because it has been quiet around here doesn’t mean it’s been quiet [...]

The heat seems to have finally broken [around here at least] and I am back in my kitchen cooking. I spent a lot of this summer on the road [and in the air] and am excited to share some new recipes with all of you. A lot of time traveling means that I often come [...]

I found myself stuck in an airport last week for several hours due to bad weather. While waiting for my very delayed flight, I flipped through a stack of magazines and ran across a recipe for a meaty chili with fresh cherries. I made a mental note to incorporate some fresh cherries as a seasonal [...]
