    Superfood of the Week: Winter Squash
    It’s no coincidence that Summer squash and zucchini are watery hydrating foods, low in calories, while Winter squash varieties are more nourishing and dense.

    Superfood of the Week: Raspberries
    As soon as I think of raspberries I’m transported to a late summer day lying inside a raspberry patch in my old garden in Portland, Oregon.
