One New Food – Plums
Did anyone see Modern Family this week? I thought it was hilarious that Phil was obsessed with plums on the episode!

Peaches are Read Post

One New Food – Teaching Kids to Try New & Healthier Foods
To quote my co-worker and fellow Miami HEAT broadcaster Jason Jackson…IT…IS…TIME. Yes I’m finally doing it folks. I have decided to take back meal times in our home.
