Save your eggnog

Iron Chef is one addicting show that will make you really hungry. A current episode using eggnog as the secret ingredient demonstrated just how to save that left over eggnog in your refrigerator. My favorite was the Eggnog French toast and bread pudding. You have to admit, drinking eggnog too many times in the row is not that appealing. If you bought too much eggnog this is the perfect way to save it.

Cucumbers

Throw in a refreshing mix of foods into your meal. Why? Heavy foods are a staple during the holiday season. If you like to eat cucumbers this one is for you.

Sweet treat-Apples, honey & cinnamon

What is a country girl at heart to do when she misses the simple things of country in a big city? Make a sweet country treat of course. Apples, honey & cinnamon. To top it off cover in caramel dip. Sounds sweet enough to me. If you prefer you can bake the apples or cook and stir in a simple sauce. In an downward economy it is the simple things that provide us with the biggest smile.

Try these, pure & healthy

Friday is approaching and I am looking forward to the weekend. The weekend is meant for resting and relaxation, and oh yes for a bit of indulgence. Ready for some healthy and quilt free pleasure? Try Organic Raw & Vegan Desserts. The cakes are especially yummy.

Old World Beauty

You know those homemade recipes I passionately love to share? If you seek a cheaper but natural remedy for beautiful skin, hair and hands now there is a another outlet for you to turn to as well. “Return to Beauty” by Narine Nikogosian is a book compiled of recipes and solutions to a glowing and healthy YOU.

The Organic Revolution-Food Beware

What is your favorite breakfast. My favorite is oatmeal with strawberries and honey. What is your kid’s favorite breakfast? Do you know where the ingredients came from and how they were kept fresh? How long have their traveled to get to you? “Food Beware” is a french documentary which states facts about the effect of pesticides on our environment and food. Its aim is to put attention on the health of our children. The film comes out tomorrow in New York’s Quad Cinema.

Fight Fatique-Energize yourself with food

Does it ever feel like there is not enough time or energy in the day? Your lack of energy could be caused by the foods you are eating, or the lack of important foods in your diet. By now we all know caffeinated/sugary energy drinks are not the smartest solution, not to mention unhealthy. Fight the fatigue with these foods and feel the energy coming back.

Green Theme

Planning a small get together for friends can be fun but also very wasteful. This is especially true if you have no choice but to use plastic for almost everything. Concrete, alcoholic drinks, and expensive glasses do not mix. It always bothers me to use plastic anything, not only is it not Eco friendly but in my opinion lacks in style and creativity as well. Take a look at these products from Preserve..

Picking blackberries

in my grandmother’s garden. The greatest benefit of blackberries? They are rich in antioxidants, vitamin A & C. Tea made out of berries is very popular in Europe, it has often been used to quiet down an upset stomach.
