Spring is here! With the arrival of spring comes a whole new bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Ripe avocados, lush strawberries, and leafy spinach are here to give you a refreshing break. Take advantage this spring and indulge in some superfoods that work hard to detox your body from a long winter of rich food and inactivity. Ripe for the picking, these eight superfoods are just waiting to go from the garden to your table.
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.
Stuffed noses, itchy throats, and puffy red eyes tend to be the accessories of choice this time of year. Most people turn to pharmaceuticals to get instant relief and while these certainly have a place, knowing how to deal with late spring allergies holistically may prove to be a better long-term solution.
Daffodils are a member of the family Liliaceae, also known as the Lily family of the genus Narcissus L. or daffodil P, containing eleven species. The plant is native to Europe, the Middle East, and Northern Africa, and was cultivated into the present flower on the Iberian Peninsula. The flower then found its way throughout the Mediterranean basin and the pioneers brought the plant to North America.
Have you ever noticed that you find yourself drawn to one particular season over another?
Perhaps you are a chaser of the sun and avoid cold climates at all cost. Maybe you are more of the snow bunny type and become irritably uncomfortable with higher temperatures and humidity. Or perhaps overcast, rainy days are your jam.
It’s spring! (At least for those of us here in the northern hemisphere.) It’s a great time to make your own seasonal perfume blends to celebrate the return of green. Spring brings to mind rebirth, flourishing, moving forward, and movement in general. Any of these can inspire a great-smelling, natural blend. Or you can center your perfume around one main essential oil.
Growing herbs is often the gateway to becoming a gardener and eventually starting a vegetable garden.
When flowers are in bloom all around and the earth is warming, the last thing you want is to weigh yourself down with heavy food. That’s why spring is a great time for these scrumptious vegetarian stuffed bell peppers. What makes them so scrumptious, do you ask? It’s all about taking flavor and texture up a notch by adding fragrant herbs, vegetables, and a creamy walnut sauce to the mix.
Springtime is long at last here and it’s time to take full advantage of the fantastic wild food sources that are beginning to burst from the earth. Spring is my favorite time of year to do food foraging, because there are some particularly special offerings. Spring is all about fresh beginnings: light greens, tender shoots, and cool roots.
