I part wrote this post at the end of April, but only finished it at the end of May and quite a lot changed in that month. Not only did the stock market boom to more record highs – but I got a job that pays well and suits me. Where this leaves my segue into teaching??? I don’t know I love April and May, with the days getting longer and warmer. From a family […]

Include them in pasta, and you’ve got a meal that’s out-of-this-world. But what about butter, heavy cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan? Is dairy healthy?  Here’s what we know. Dairy is full of vitamins, minerals, protein, and natural fat energy. But if everyone consumed dairy all of the time, dairy farming would become abusive and unsustainable… Let’s be mindful of our dairy intake. Buy dairy that comes from pasture raised cows and try to eat less.  Sugar is what makes food unhealthy. Common pasta is made from white flour (refined grains) which means pasta is nearly equivalent to sugar. Add 240g of sugar (40g/serving) to this creamy lemon pasta, and you’re looking at heartburn with an energy crash. (And you’ll be scouring the pantry for your next sugar snack within the hour.)  Substitute common pasta with our low-carb alternative, and this recipe becomes nourishment. The ingredients provide vitamins, minerals, protein and quality, whole-food energy.  Enjoy this creamy lemon pasta knowing it supports your well being.
