Natalie’s Juice – a fresh take on juice
Between shopping with a 5 year old who thinks she needs to have an opinion on everything I buy (or pass by) and navigating nutritional labels, grocery shopping is more and more challenging these days. I am trying to balance making healthy choices with not allowing a fear of additives and GMOs, etc. to overwhelm me, but it is hard to know what are good choices.

But we are making apple turnovers tomorrow for Sunday dessert, and I didn’t want to do two similar desserts back to back. What to do, what to do? When I think 4th of July, I think BBQ and smoke and smores. Our weather has been terrible today so making smores over the fire pit didn’t seem like it would happen. Instead I decided to make a Smores Cheesecake. I invented this recipe, so it may need some future tweaking. Feel free to try it and share your tips and tricks. I…
