3 Aphrodisiac Smoothies
by guest blogger Mark A. Moyad, MD, MPH. I have probably investigated more than 100 aphrodisiacs in my career, and the majority (90-plus) have little to no merit. But a few, such as arginine, capsaicin, ginger, and maca, are interesting and do deserve some attention.

This recipe is based on my mother’s classic apple cider—I just added a little kick.
Mojito Float—The Final Float!

(And I don’t want to hear from anyone in California about all the good stuff you have out there. Anything good […]
December Float of the Month: Tangerine-Pomegranate Float
The other day I was asking my family if they associate Christmas with any specific dessert, the way we associate Thanksgiving with pumpkin pie. They couldn’t think of any. Sure, there are cookies and pies (my favorite is sour cherry, but I missed the crop this year so didn’t get to freeze any). And I’m […]
