Your Ingredient Journal

In Wednesday's daily nutrition email (You are getting it, right? - if not check your Spam folder and then email me if you still can't find it) we talked about increasing awareness with an ingredient journal (I've included an excerpt below). But lets get down to brass tacks. Are you willing to actually do it? Liz started one, and here's what she wrote me: "Hey Dean, I liked the idea … [Read more...]
