Have you ever been in a pinch to pull together a dish for a last minute gathering? We certainly have! In fact, one of our Lifeway team members needed a dessert for an after work gathering just a few days ago. Instead of running to the grocery store to buy a box of generic cookies, […]

This is Your Puppy…on Probiotics
A new Wall Street Journal story is exploring the validity of pet probiotic claims, with companies promoting their products as a way to ease Fido’s chronic digestive troubles and even prevent stress-induced diarrhea in animals during travel. Apparently nobody likes flying during the holidays. Pet probiotics typically take the form of powders that can be […]
It’s #GivingTuesday and Your Support Matters
Now that we’ve survived Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and the newer Makers Monday, we’re glad to bring our attention once again to #GivingTuesday. Last year, Lifeway partnered with Charity Miles and the Charity Miles app, where money raised supported victims and relief efforts for Hurricane Haiyan. We’re working with Charity Miles once […]
Kale Quinoa Salad with Cranberries and Farmer Cheese
Our second Thanksgiving recipe creation is a nutritional powerhouse – Kale Quinoa Salad with Cranberries and Farmer Cheese. So good. When it comes to Thanksgiving side dishes, most tables are stacked with starchy casseroles, sugary fruit salads and butter-drenched vegetables laced with “cream of something” soup. While they can be absolutely delicious (once again, Green Bean […]

In these vacant spaces, seemingly overnight, new structures pop up – structures that are near replicas of their lot’s previous occupant. “Why not just keep what was there and fix it,” we ask […]
Pregnancy-Supporting Kefir Smoothie
Last week, a loyal Lifeway kefir drinker called in requesting a smoothie recipe for his pregnant wife. He had read that drinking kefir was good for women who are pregnant and wanted to ensure she was eating the healthiest foods she could to ensure a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy. While a healthy diet […]
Cranberry Orange Kefir Scones with Orange Glaze

Winter is fast approaching and we’ve been experimenting in the Lifeway Kitchen with a few of our favorite seasonal flavors – Cranberry Crème […]
Fall in a Bowl: Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal with Kefir and Pecans
This time of year, few things seem as difficult as waking up in the morning. The sun comes up later (and goes down earlier…) and frost blankets our windows, making heading out the door a daunting task. There’s a bright spot to the cold, dark mornings of late fall and winter, though: it’s hot breakfast […]
