by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

Ricki discusses the new normal and what to do now

Last month, my dad turned 98. Ninety-eight!! While I wasn’t surprised based on my dad’s history, I have been truly shocked by what’s changed in his life in recent years since he moved into an assisted living residence and, almost a year ago, into a nursing home. In today’s video, I talk about the way […]

keto friendly, grainfree, sugarfree, dairyfree cauliflower porridge recipe

[Winter warmer with added chopped apple, vanilla and cinnamon.] So yes, I imagine you might be wondering about this recipe given its title.
