I enjoy running and weight lifting and eating a healthy plant-based diet. I get plenty of nutrients from my food because my workouts are pretty moderate. My husband on the other hand has been doing P90x. With a workout this [...]

I used to respond with a link to Snopes letting my friends and family know that while their concern was appreciated, their anxiety could be put to better use elsewhere than concerns about my disposable chopsticks or the danger of flashing my headlights at people for fear [...]

I’ll try to regularly pledge my support to a project that I find personally meaningful. This time I’ve chosen to support the Hamilton Crop Circle.   This project is near and dear to my [...]

Kickstarter is a website where entrepreneurs and artists list details about a project plan and investors have the opportunity to fund it. Everyone can pledge [...]

In fact, it was so crazy good that I wanted to share it with you today. This meal happened completely by chance becuase I had misplaced my wallet and couldn’t go to the grocery store. I frantically ran around my basement pantry and through all of my kitchen cabinets [...]

This has meant countless apps, blogs, feeds and searching to get just the recipes that I want. [...]

Or at least kind of a smart alec. So, imagine my surprise when I excitedly bounced up behind him on the steps and said, “Guess what?” and unapologetic he replied, “Vinegar or Duct Tape?” Wow. That really took the wind out of my sails and gave me a darn good nasal [...]

I love oatmeal packets, but there is so much sugar that over time I stopped using them. I started buying quick cooking oats and [...]

I swear by vinegar for cleaning counter tops, stainless steel and cutting boards, but when it comes to all purpose cleaners for bathrooms, floors, etc. I [...]

As a follow-up to my previous post “The ‘Buch is On!” I can say that it appears to have been a successful experiment. I finally had a thin, white, filmy pancake looking SCOBY grow on top of my tea brew. It looked like kombucha, it smelled like kombucha, so I called it done. I [...]
