Hi guys! Happy Valentine’s Day! Since this blog will revolve heavily around my fur babies (the Snuggles half), their life, their health, and my exploration of pet health in general, I thought it only fitting I introduce you to my 5 kitties: Everest, DaVinci, Aria, Kelvin, and Shasta! They’re all almost 3 years old now, so while they’re technically more cats than kittens, you’ll often hear me (read me?) refer to them as my kittens! I can’t help it, no matter how old they get, they will always be my babies! I know I’m not the only one, and also probably not the only one who just freaking loves and wants to share cute photos of their fur babies! 🙂

Can’t go wrong with some healthy fats and phytonutrients from the avocado in this guacamole, and beta-carotene, Vitamin C, and a whole slew of other vitamins and minerals from sweet potatoes in this sweet potato fry recipe!

I hear from my nurse friends that the ER has been exceptionally busy lately, full of patients who are suffering from the horrible symptoms of a cold or particularly nasty flu.
