DOLLY&MILA
Dolly and Mila originated in a tiny kitchen in NYC after the founders traveled through Central America and spent years studying Indigenous remedies, anthropology and holistic nutrition. The founders are best friends from childhood, but they’re names are actually not Dolly and Mila. The line was named after two special women who inspired them throughout [...]

Coffee or Tea?
I have always (since 16) predominantly been a tea drinker. Then around age 21, I started dabbling in the world of coffee…regular coffee, flavored coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, espresso shots… you know how it goes. I had really never expected to come a regular drinker of coffee, but the again, it was always in my blood [...]

The Vegetable of the Day…
…is definitely cabbage! I am a huge fan so I am really looking forward to dinner tonight. I like the corned beef and potatoes too, but I am definitely most excited for the cabbage. If you happen to enjoy it too (or want some incentive to give it a try), you might appreciate knowing that [...]

Quick Black Bean Soup
I have always loved black bean soup and most of the time I get it out, but every so often I like to make this quick recipe. Of course, it’s not exactly the same, but it’s still very tasty, very filling and also very healthy (lots of protein and fiber). I like my black bean soup [...]

Herb Superstar: Oregano
Did you know that a half teaspoon of dried oregano has the antioxidant benefits of a spinach salad? It does! And aside from it’s super high levels of antioxidants, it also acts as an expectorant – clearing congestion – and it can also improve digestion! I use dried oregano a lot in sauces, soups and [...]

Nutrient Rich Molasses
Amongst the likes of honey and maple syrup exists another less popular, natural sweetener by the name of molasses. A single tablespoon of this dark, rich, gooey substance provides at least 20% of the US RDA for calcium, iron and potassium! I particularly like this Blackstrap Unsulphured Molasses by Plantation, which also comes in an [...]
