You can buy most online however. These flackers were amazing. Raw, vegan flax seed crackers may not sound [...]

Shirataki noodles are a staple in my refrigerator. So is Laughing Cow cheese. Combining the two is a quick dinner for me so when I went sent a package of the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Cream Cheese Spread, I knew what I was having later this week. When I got home from vacation, I [...]

Moving forward… I used Random.org to select a winner last night for the Polar FT60 Heart Rate Monitor. Congrats to Brittany for winning! I was so happy to see all positive [...]

One lucky blog reader or YouTube viewer will win these shades. The winner will be getting a preppy pair like mine, the tortoise with black lenses. This flattering frame [...]
I love butternut squash risotto but it is not exactly the most healthy comfort food recipe. I made this last week but was unable to upload the pictures since my cord was en route from Chicago. Using a few simple swaps, I was able to lighten up this fall staple with ease and even made [...]
