As a Baby Boomer, raised in the ’50s and ’60s, Laura Scheurer witnessed a change in how families congregated for meals and the food they ate. “I grew up with TV dinners, Ring Dings, Twinkies, Captain Crunch, Fruit Loops, bologna, white bread, coke, and chips,” Laura recounts.

Feeling fatigued? Instead of drinking more coffee, try building more blood! During the menstruation cycle, the amount of blood loss can lead people to become, what Chinese medicine would refer to as, “blood deficient.” There are other causes of blood deficiency as well, like low amounts of iron or B12-containing foods in one’s diet, among other […]

When I go to a restaurant and look over a menu, I can be rather indecisive. One question that I never linger on though is “would you like that mild, medium, or hot?” Hot peppers are a favorite seasoning in our home, and we grow them from seed in our garden. Whether it is the […]

This morning with no bread in the house and a chill in the air, I remembered my grandmother making skillet bread and decided to improvise a healthier version. It took 5 minutes to mix and 5 minutes to cook so is an easy and quick addition to any breakfast table. The whole grains and oats […]

Readers of my book Making Babies: A Proven 3-Month Program for Maximum Fertility may have noticed that I suggest that some people cut down on their consumption of dairy products. Many of us could benefit from eating less dairy and in my practice, I often suggest that patients who suffer from excessive mucus adjust their […]

We’re enjoying beautiful crisp autumn weather in upstate New York this weekend.  The sky is clear and blue, the sun is shining but there’s a slight chill in the air which makes me think of cooking nourishing food after a long walk with the dog. Our vegetable garden has lost most of its summer abundance […]

A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for Summer Borscht which prompted one of my Facebook friends to ask for more beet recipes.
