her blog
post. (Plus she takes better pictures than I do!) This
homemade cashew butter turned out...

Olive oil gets lots of good press when it comes to healthy oil, but an often overlooked option is organic sesame oil. It’s rich in vitamin E, magnesium, copper, calcium, iron and vitamin B.

receive the Healthy Recipe
emails from us here at Swanson Health Products, you're
missing out on a super easy and delicious dish this weekend. I was
the lucky team member whose turn it was to make latest
selection: Asian
Tahini Noodles. One of the fun parts of these emails is
that we get to choose our own recipe if we want. I picked this
recipe because not only did it sound tasty, it featured several new
additions to our lineup – Maranatha Peanut
Butter and Once Again...

vitamins and supplements the other day and I came across one

Health Tips update for Sunday, July 4: The rock star of
healthy oils, Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) gets all the good
press! Rich in monounsaturated fat, olive oil the cornerstone
of the Mediterranean diet, but it’s hardly the only healthy oil for
salads, veggies and other sides. Try organic avocado oil, organic
