Spring is one of my favorite seasons (aside from the allergies that go along with it). It's a time when winter has passed and everything starts waking up from a long slumber. The trees start budding, flowers start sprouting, and wildlife activity peaks. As someone who thoroughly enjoys nature and loves spending time outdoors, spring is the perfect season to start making up for all those days spent inside. Not to mention with the new season comes (can you guess it?) new food!

Happy New Year, everyone! It’s that time of year when it seems like just about everyone is on some new health kick. So, if you can’t beat ‘em, might as well join ‘em, right?

Embodying health can be as easy as filling up your shopping cart with fresh, nutritious, inexpensive, and certainly tasty seasonal produce, and planning your meals around it. Choose January’s best to get the most for your money because, when you shop smart, quality and quantity do go hand-in-hand! Whoever said, “You can’t have your cake, and eat it, too” clearly wasn’t a savvy, seasonal shopper.

Staying fit in the winter can be a challenge. Morning frost and frigid temperatures make lounging inside tempting. The urge to gorge on food while watching movie marathons sets in.

Don't let the cold weather have your health hibernating for winter. Get up. Get moving. And follow these tips for how to keep active during winter.

What's your favorite season? Maybe it's summer because you get to go to the beach. Or maybe it's spring because the weather finally starts to warm up and everything comes alive again. No matter which you pick, all four seasons are beautiful and have something to teach us. Living in tune with the seasons can really be a rewarding and make us happier year round.

The best of the summer harvest may be over, but the best of fall is yet to come.

As the seasons shift, you may notice yourself being affected by it in many different ways. Perhaps you'll develop seasonal allergies, feel more sluggish, or have sinus problems. Whatever the case, it's important we take the time to prepare our bodies for the shift to fall to ensure a healthy transition. Here's how to do exactly that. 

As the evenings wind down earlier with the falling sun and the nights become cooler, autumn is upon us. And with fall comes the wonderful flavors of the season…generally revolving around pumpkin spice or the bite of a fresh, crisp apple.

Sometimes falling in love with food is about rediscovering what’s right in front of you. Because tomatoes are everywhere all year round—in varying quality—it’s easy to forget just how amazing they can be. Summer, when tomatoes are at the height of flavor and many gardens are overflowing with them, is the time to enjoy them. In season they require very little prep to add something special to your table.

When spring rolls around, you find so many delicious produce items popping up at your local farmers market.
