Broccoli and onion rice medley is one of my favorite side dishes to make. I am not really into side dishes but I can eat this one every day during the week. Adding veggies to rice is a good way to get more veggies into your diet. They add more flavors, and if you are…
This year has been a cold one and we have a few more weeks to go before we can even head into spring. I usually try to limit my time in the shower during the winter just so my skin will not dry out. For Christmas I got a soap making kit and a few products…
After a recommendation from a co-worker I decided to purchase a bottle of Gt Synergy Komucha, and ever since my first sip I have not missed soda one bit. Now I am hooked on all things probiotic!

I am a big fan of chickpeas, but when I first had them they tasted just like chalk to me. Overtime I acquired a taste for them and now I love them. On the other hand Josh can’t stand them, so when he actually asked for seconds I knew these were a hit. I did…
I shouldn’t be complaining about cold weather; the mid-west and east coast or freezing right now. But it is cold!!! I feel bad that we are enjoying these wonderful temps, but when summer comes it will be Death Valley and I am not looking forward to it. When the temps get low, I love to…
