Pomi Chopped Tomatoes – Candida Diet Product

Some days you just don’t feel like chopping.  Recently, I feel like all I do is chop the entire day.  I am always busy chopping this or that for recipe after recipe and there are times when I just don’t want to chop another thing.  Until recently I would always chop fresh tomatoes if I [...]

365 Olives – Candida Diet Product

I don’t really like olives but my oldest daughter loves them.  When she was diagnosed with food allergies and I had to really start reading food labels I noticed that many commercially available olives contained a lot of extra stuff in them.  I was not sure what any of this stuff was but I was beginning to adopt the less is more [...]
