Meatless Monday – Vegetarian Chili Recipe

I completely missed writing a post for  Meatless Monday last week.  I hope you at least made an effort to get through the day without eating any meat.  You really won’t wither away to nothing without it, I promise. This week I am sharing my absolute favorite Vegetarian Chili recipe with you. Not only is it […]

Autism Awareness – S is for Sibling

I am continuing with my Autism Awareness posts, which started with a brief description and my acronym for the word autism.  If you missed my original post, you can read it here. I will never forget the day several years ago when my younger son very loudly declared, “I hate autism.”  Now, as a protective Mom who wasn’t […]

Wordless Wednesday

Larabar Review and Giveaway! (ENDED!!! )

Have you ever left home to run errands and realized about half way through your stops that you are suddenly really hungry?  It would take way too much time to go into the grocery store to pick up a healthy snack so you decide to make a quick stop for something that’s, well, way less […]

My Favorite Popcorn Recipe

My absolute favorite snack is popcorn.  I love the crunch, the fact that I can eat a whole bowl and not feel guilty, and mostly, I love how inexpensive it is to buy.  I get my organic yellow popcorn in the bulk bin at my local grocery store and usually you just can’t beat the price when buying from the bulk […]

NaturOli Soap Nuts – Review and Giveaway

When I decided to live a more “green” and non-toxic lifestyle one of the first things I wanted to change was my laundry detergent.  With all the harsh chemicals listed on the jug (plus the ones that aren’t), I knew this was an important place to start.  Also, because of the fact we spend so much […]

Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Friday

Have you been watching Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution each week?  He is on a mission to change the way children, and everyone else, eat in our country.  A pretty tall order, but I think he is off to a good start.  Since he can’t visit every city and every home, I thought I would share some of […]

I have several giveaways this week so please check out those, too, while you are here.  Next in my acronym for the word autism is I is for intervention. As I mentioned in the original […]

Wordless Wednesday – Visit to the Goat Farm

We made the approximately 40 minute drive last fall for an “open” farm day to visit the goat farm where some of our favorite cheese comes from.  From seeing the goats to the cheese making process, it was such a fun afternoon.  I highly recommend this type of interaction if you can.  Visiting and talking with someone who […]
