GUEST BLOG by Dr. Hyman Fresh Summer Produce There are so many reasons why I love the summertime: the green grass and warm sunshine, longer days and warmer evenings, more time to savor all the beauty of the outdoors. But the best part by far is the amazing abundance of healthy, fresh, whole foods [...]
Some of the things we buy at the grocery store are quite simple to make. And in many cases, cheaper. As a kid, store bought garlic powder and salt were slathered on crusty French bread with butter to make garlic bread. Oh, the salt! Oh, the preservatives!
