Give It Away For the Holidays!

Our strongest family tradition for the holidays is to give until it hurts, so to speak. As a result, everyone in our family makes food for the hungry, works in a food kitchen or hosts homeless or vagrant people for the holidays. Yes, it's a risk to invite strangers to our tables, but we do it. It has been a generational tradition that we can't evade and no one wants to avoid. In fact, everyone embraces it and cherishes the enriching stories that come from such shared holidays. If you have more t… Continue

Have Your Salt And Eat It To

For everyone concerned with the amount of sodium in their diet, there’s now a fine sea salt product from Ocean’s Flavor Foods that offers a low sodium option. Ocean's Flavor is the only salt company producing "natural” low sodium sea salts. By low sodium, they mean it is 70% lower in sodium than standard table salt or other sea salt. That’s an incredible drop. It's a relief to know we can still have our salt and eat it, too. If you’ve tr… Continue
