Wow, my daughter passed this video along to me. What do you think?! It’s a commercial for a DVD set showing you how to harvest and use the herbs and weeds that grow everywhere… but the information is pretty neat. When I was a girl, my parents went “redneck,” and we ate squirrels and some [...]

Weeelll….. I haven’t been drinking it regularly. Honestly, the stuff is disgusting. I’ve tried mixing it with grape juice, orange juice, strawberry Quik, chocolate milk, and Ovaltine.

I went to a Chili’s restaurant for the first time last week. I’m not terribly fond of Mexican food, and I admit I did hesitate a little when going in there. But I ordered some chicken quesadillas, and they were quite yummy. I was astonished at the portion sizes there, I couldn’t even eat half [...]

Recent, surprising studies show that some herbs and spices are antioxidant powerhouses — and that cinnamon is the second highest. (Cloves are the first, but are harder [...]

My daughter made this dip, took the photos and wrote this guest post. The dip is SOOOO GOOD. It’s so good for you, too. It’s great with vegetables, corn chips, on salmon, everything! The amount may seem like a lot, but if your family likes this, the dip will be gone in a day. It [...]

I’ve been experimenting with the Raw Meal drink I got a few weeks ago. You can read more about it here. It’s not pleasant stuff. It tastes like latex paint and it’s like drinking powder, the stuff is so thick. But it’s very good for you. So I’ve been searching for ways to make it [...]
