A recent Mayo Clinic study found that people who ate lots of vitamin-K rich foods were [...]Cut Cancer Risk with Vitamin K is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

Sure enough, the infected chickens were living in a typical factory farm in tiny cages. Since organic chickens are able to roam free and are [...]The Case for Organic Eggs is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

I ended up going out on both Friday and Saturday night over the weekend, which I normally don’t do, so I was really tired out yesterday. I spent the day watching episodes of Lost and taking naps. What a lazy Sunday! Finally in the afternoon I got some energy up to make food for the [...]Curried Quinoa Salad is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

My favorite lunch is a big salad with lots of fresh vegetables and filling things like nuts, avocados, organic meat, or eggs.
