Friday Link Love
less.sweet posted 3 weeks 6 days ago — I guess this is going to be a regular thing for me. I am blatantly stealing the Friday links idea from Mark Salinas and Lori at Fake Food Free and MizFit. It's fun to share some of the great sites that I've visited over the past week. Hope y'all...
This one is for all kids at heart
less.sweet posted 4 weeks 10 hours ago — One thing that I've found already as we purge our home life of HFCS is that it's important for our kids to have substitutes to HFCS-containing foods that their friends eat. Peer pressure is a strong thing - even when it comes to food. My son seem...
In search of a good BBQ sauce

A farewell to summer
less.sweet posted 6 weeks 1 day ago — Few things say summer like a meal of fresh, tender vegetables. Two of our favorite fresh vegetables are summer squash and fresh green beans. These are available year round now, but they're so much better when they're fresh and at least semi-local...
