Wednesday, June 11th, 2008lifehackery.com has compiled an amazing list of 50 helpful tips for the kitchen. The list included a few tips that I knew about, but the majority of them were new to me. In fact, I’m going to make some popcorn tonight and give #15 a try. I’m sure it won’t be long before I burn [...]
Yerba Mate
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008I’m about due to put in another tea order with Teavana. I picked up some Yerba Mate on my last order and really enjoyed it. I’m mainly accustomed to green tea varieties and the mate teas offer a pleasant change with a very distinct taste.
A relative of the holly bush, yerba maté is grown [...]
Luna Bars: Whole Nutrition For Women
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008I recently fell in love with Luna Bars. They’re the first nutrition bar for women that actually tastes good, more like a candy bar than something that’s good for you. I actually felt a bit guilty and concerned when I bit into my first one and had to read the label again just to [...]
Soyabella Soymilk Maker
Monday, June 9th, 2008 I made the switch from milk to soymilk many years ago. I don’t necessarily have anything against milk and I still use it for cooking, I guess I just lost the desire to drink it.

Golf for a Long Life
Thursday, June 5th, 2008I made a pact with myself several years ago to give golf a second chance once I am semi-retired. I figure I will be older and hopefully wiser and maybe I will have a little more patience. You see, I’m extremely competitive and golf is one of those activities that can take the most patient, [...]
Peat Pellets Excellent for Starting Seeds
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008I wouldn’t exactly say that I have a green thumb, but my gardening skills have been slowly improving over the years. In fact, I currently have quite the thriving herb garden going in my kitchen right now.
I recently started some basil, cilantro, parsley, thyme, and Rosemary for some outdoor pots. Typically I just plant [...]
Strawberry Season
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008It really doesn’t get much better than fresh strawberries. It makes me happy just to see them prominently displayed as I walk into the supermarket this time of year.
Strawberries are not only good – they are good for you. One serving of strawberries (about 8 strawberries) is an excellent source of vitamin C. You [...]
