Jumping on the Udi’s Bandwagon!
Store bought gluten free bread is nasty. End of story. I had pretty much given up on buying a loaf of gluten free bread when I stumbled upon reviews for Udi’s Bakery. The big news being that Udi’s was slowly becoming available at Whole Foods. Everyone seemed to have something positive to say. On our latest trip to Whole Foods, … Continue reading
Sugar is better than HFCS
Two new studies out have compared regular table sugar to high fructose corn syrup. The findings suggest that table sugar is far better for you than high fructose corn syrup. Not just a lesser of two evils, but way better for you. As in, avoid HFCS! Read about it over at Natural News. Table sugar is 50/50 fructose and glucose. … Continue reading
Homeschool Skedtrack One Year Review
It’s a new school year, a time fpr homeschoolers to change things up a bit and try new things. There’s one thing I won’t be changing and that’s out organization system. I struggled for years to find a way to keep track who needs to do what on what day and in what book for what subject. Get the drift?! … Continue reading
Nascar Goes Green
I don’t know why I like Nascar, but I do. Must have something to do with that race fan husband of mine. The most un-eco-friendly sport and yet, fascinating at the same time. Go figure.

You know, the school supplies. PVC is full of harmful chemicals. Things you don’t want near your … Continue reading

I have tried so many recipes for bread in my first year of being gluten free, but this is one that I keep coming back to again and again. There are several bread mixes out there from Bob’s Red Mill to Pamela’s. I’ve tried many of them, but … Continue reading
Beware the Flu Vaccine
It’s coming. Flu season. Along with it comes that dreaded flu vaccine. Last year we heard all about how horrible the flu season was, how limited the vaccine supply was, but did you know that only 90 million of the available 162 million H1N1 doses were given out? Does sound like a limited vaccine to me. Did you know that … Continue reading
Battle the sun burn!
This time of year I hear the same things over and over again. “Forgot the sunscreen and now I’m a lobster.” “Spent the entire day at the beach and I’m completely sunburned.” “Ow, this sunburn hurts!” I’m the type of person that burns easily. No matter what sunscreen I use, I burn. And it hurts. I’ve tried many remedies and … Continue reading
