Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution – For America’s Children

Have you ever seen something that just got you so fired up that you wanted to do something, act on it, or just plain yell at the top or your lungs?  At the same time, you feel so passionate that you can’t put how you feel into words?  That is how I felt when I […]

Meatless Monday – Baked Potatoes with Feta and Dill

Don’t you just love comfort food?  I do, especially when the weather is chilly and rainy like today.  For this Meatless Monday, I decided to share one of my favorite recipes for my husband and I when we eat dinner later after the kids have gone to bed.  We call it an “at home” date night.  […]

When Sipping Wine Leads to Sowing a (Seed)

Do you suppose it’s bad that I love how a company managed to connect wine with an idea for a line of healthy body care products? No?  Well, me either! In fact, I call it genius! That is exactly what the folks at Seed did when they wanted to created a line of products that would have […]

Surf Sweets Product Review and Giveaway!

One of my son’s (and secretly mine) favorite “treats” is gummy bears, but I refuse to buy them since they are loaded with crap.  Sorry, but I can’t put that any more kindly.  It’s true.  For the most part, you find sugar, corn syrup, artificial flavors and artificial dyes in gummy bears.  Yick, yuck, gross.  […]

Meatless Monday

Wow! It’s Monday again already and that means I like to promote a meatless one for everyone.  You may already know that I am a vegetarian so every day is meatless for me, but I understand that not everyone can live without their meat.  My hope is that at least this one day a week, […]

31 Days to Build a Better Blog – Day 5

I am back at it again with my blog “Spring Cleaning”(I like the name Mariana chose for this challenge that’s based on Problogger’s 31 Days to Build a Better Blog.)  Today’s assignment is to email a blog reader.  That is easy enough. I have started to do something similar in that I visit the blogs of […]

Pack a Healthy Lunchbox That’s Waste-Free Too!

Have you ever been in a school cafeteria during lunchtime?  I have and some of what I have seen really bothers and worries me.  The food available to the kids isn’t the greatest(at least not what I would want to feed my children).  Some of the choices simply shouldn’t be there(such as fried foods or […]
