It sounds a bit ridiculous to me, but recently I’ve come across references to dill pickle juice being a health tonic. Here are a few of the supposed health benefits – just keep in mind that this is all anecdotal and I have no idea if any of this is true. #1: Some folks claim […]

I like to have my windows open, but it’s been really, REALLY cold this fall and winter in Atlanta. So with the closed windows and frequent air from the heating vents, it can get a but stuffy in the house. I passionately love Apple Jack and Peel although it’s more of a ‘Christmasy’ scent to […]

I’m not sure if this is a salad or a bowl recipe, but it’s definitely healthy and delicious. And filling. And simple to make. That’s a lot of advantages, so let me tell you what’s in it. Although I also need to add that “never” the same thing twice is probably an exaggeration, but “rarely” […]

Happy New Year 2021! Lots of folks are talking about how G. L. A. D. they are to be rid of 2020. But let’s not forget that 2021 could be worse. :-) And on that happy thought, have a wonderful and safe new year’s eve.

First of all, there’s the price. I’ve been buying […]

Happy Labor Day 2020. The calendar and the temperatures say it’s still summer – but my heart says AUTUMN, AUTUMN, AUTUMN! Yeah! Fall is loaded with holidays and special days like Halloween and my life is better when the temps are cooler. The last two nights it has dropped down to the low 60s here […]
