Living Simple Naturally
I have never used Splenda before and I have always wanted to. I was a bit hesitant, Splenda seems to get a bad rep every now and then. I got the chance to try it because my grocery store ran out of stevia, so it was now or never! When I got home paranoia sat in…
It’s all about green today, if you’re into eating lots of greens and need some ideals try roasted sesame edamame. They are full of flavor. You will become addicted to eating these babies. I have been eating a lot of sesame seeds lately. I’m addicted to the nutty flavor, that I have been putting them…
Yesterday Josh came home from work early and decided we should go shooting. It sounded fun, but I was a bit hesitant. He finally got me to go with him, on the pretense that I would get some good pictures of the landscape. That’s all he needed to say (I got my rebel and was…

Besides focusing on my store Etsy store (we will talk about that in a few days). I really want to change directions with the food recipes I post on the blog; although I believe moderation is the key to any diet. I would rather eat four low fat cookies then one regular chocolate chip cookie…
I don’t know about you but between Mardi Gras, Saint Patrick’s Day, and Easter (coming up). I am either always buying something for a holiday or always eating lots of food. I am a big fan of festive foods, but they can pack on the calories pretty quick with all that sugar and fat….
Spring is almost here in the southwest and I am looking forward to planting my little garden; last year I attempted to plant tomatoes, lettuce and melon seeds. They grew but never got any fruit! This year I am determine for my little plants to get some fruit. Since it’s been pretty warm I have…
