Love Tuna? Make Sure It is Ethical and Sustainable

By Tiffany 10 Comments

I grew up eating tuna. My mom's tuna and egg salad is now a comfort food for me and I feel like I am channeling her whenever I make it for my own kids. Of course back then we didn't think much, or at all, about where the tuna in the cans came from. We didn't think about overfishing and responsible fishery that did not result in the deaths of other marine animals, like dolphins. We did not think about mercury content or fish farms where the fish are given genetically modified feed. In many ways I … [Read more...]

Kombucha on Tap With a Continuous Brew Kombucha Kit

By Tiffany 10 Comments

We are all big Kombucha fans here. My husband and my three kids adore it and we used to spend a pretty penny buying it bottled from the store. The price is usually anywhere from $4-6 for a single serving bottle. It added up fast and ultimately became a rare treat for us and that was a big shame because Kombucha is so good for you. Imagine my delight that my kids want to drink fermented tea (with oodles of healthy bacteria) instead of drinking soda, milk, or juice. The only thing standing in the … [Read more...]
