Apple Pie Breakfast Eggs

Apple Pie Breakfast Eggs

I have a sweet tooth. A whole mouth full of them actually! I have heard tales of people losing their sweet tooth after changing to a Paleo diet, unfortunately mine is still going strong. Every now and then, and sometimes then again, I give into my cravings. When I do, I try to keep theContinue Reading

Seaweed Chips – Fast and easy vegetables that are crunchy-munchy good!

Seaweed is an amazing vegetable – it contains so many nutrients! I have been wanting to try seaweed chips (crisps) for quite a while, but all I could find in the stores were those made with canola oil.

Vanilla Extract: Making you own is unbelievably easy!

Checking the mail isn’t something I usually get excited over.  In fact, I would usually prefer to avoid the inevitable bills that tend to find their way there.  Sometimes though, there are anticipated deliveries that have me watching for the mail truck and checking the box throughout the day.  One such delivery occurred Thursday – my orderContinue Reading

What the FRACK is going on?!

What the FRACK is going on?!

I’ll be honest.  I had absolutely no idea what Fracking is.  I followed a link from a National Wildlife Federation email and ended up watching the following video.   I then discovered this one as well – I must admit I just love the vintage cartoon style of this one:   Fracking is definitely something I needContinue Reading
