Healthcare, Meet Southwest
BY KIM BELLARD Customers experiencing long, often inexplicable delays, their experiences turning from hopeful to angry to afraid they’ll never get back home.  Staff overworked and overwhelmed.  IT systems failing at the times they’re most needed.  To most people, that all probably sounds like Southwest Airline’s debacle last week, but, to me, it just sounds like every day in our healthcare system. Southwest had a bad week.  All the airlines were hit by a huge swath of bad weather the weekend before Christmas, but most airlines recovered relatively quickly.  Southwest passengers were not...

Top 5 Ways to Increase Your Milk Supply
Since we can’t measure breast milk intake the way we can formula, it is easy to be insecure about your milk supply. If you feel your milk supply is low, here are five suggestions on how to increase it: Take care of yourself. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids. During nursing, try not to diet.

Spanish Stuffed Peppers – The Evolution of a New Recipe
My love affair continues with Sofrito, the Spanish slow cooked tomato-olive oil-mirepoix that’s a staple in a healthy Mediterranean diet. I now make it regularly, storing it in small jars in my freezer and searching for ways to incorporate it into the foods we make. For example, these stuffed peppers, a recipe I am proud to say I came up with all by myself. Well, actually, that’s not entirely true. I had a little help from my friends (and family). Let me tell you how it went down… Last week, while at the market, a beautiful multicolored fresh pepper medley caught my eye. I knew I had a pound of lean g...

Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup
I’m often asked to recommend recipes for Thanksgiving, so here’s a few suggestions for you all. I’ve never actually cooked a turkey, so this will just be sides and desserts.
