If you've ever been a Grape Nuts lover, this cereal is so spot-on, I will be surprised if it doesn't bring you back.

Beyond the (Chicken) Egg | All eggs are not created equal. By now, it is well known in the real food community that pastured chicken eggs are more nutrient-dense and healthy than their conventional counterparts. And, if you're willing to stray further off the beaten track, chickens aren't the only birds that lay delicious and healthy eggs. Quail, duck, and goose eggs are all popular alternatives to the chicken, offering variety and different nutritional benefits. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Probiotic Water Kefir Tea | When I began to make water kefir, I ran into a problem pretty quickly: what was I going to do with it? All of the probiotic elixir coming out of my kitchen just couldn't go to waste! At first I mixed the water kefir with freshly-squeezed lemon juice to create lemonade, but soon my family wanted more variety. So... I experimented with tea. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
