It looks so innocent just sitting there all green and pretty in the glass, doesn't it? My first (and possibly last) Green Smoothie just about gagged me to death. I don't know if I dare try to drink one again. What did I do wrong? I thought Green Smoothies were supposed to taste at least a little bit good. Green Smoothie drinkers of the world, please help me! I really wanted to love Kimberly Snyder's Glowing Green Smoothie Recipe as part of her ...

Recipe ~ Quinoa Black Bean Salad (or Salsa)
As promised, I am sharing a recipe for Quinoa Black Bean Salad. It is healthy and delicious. I like to serve it with tortilla chips and eat it as a dip or add it to our tacos and burritos. If I'm just making this for my family, I cut the amounts listed below in half and have plenty for 2 adults and 3 small children to eat with some to spare. Quinoa Black Bean Salad 1 cup uncooked Quinoa 2 cups chicken broth 8 green onions chopped Combination ...
All-Natural Dr. Lucy’s Cookies | Allergy-Friendly, Vegan & Delicious
Our doorbell rang on Christmas Eve morning. It was the delivery man, bringing a big box filled with the newest varieties of Dr. Lucy's Cookies! My kids were so excited to receive a box filled with cute boxes of cookies that they were well into eating the Chocolate Cookies before I had the chance to explain to them that the cookies may be a little different from cookies they normally eat. "Different" as in Lucy's Cookies are gluten-free and ...
{New Year’s Recipe} Black-eyed Peas Salsa
I was born and raised in the Deep South, where it is a New Year's tradition to eat black eyed peas for good luck in the new year. My mother always made sure to serve black eyes peas to our family that day. My all-time favorite way to eat them is after they have been cooked in a pot with a ham hock and then smothered with my granny's homemade pepper relish. A few years ago, I found another favorite way to serve black-eyed peas that is more ...
Vegan Shoes | What’s Your Favorite?
There are so many ways to enjoy a more earth-friendly and animal-friendly lifestyle, and fashion is definitely one of them. I have to admit that I never gave much thought to wearing eco-friendly shoes until my sister recently fell in love with a pair of vegan shoes. Vegan boots and shoes are not made from any animal products (including leather, wool, and silk), which can actually make it difficult to find footwear. I thought it would be fun ...
What Is Quinoa and Why You Should Eat It
First things first. Do you know how to pronounce the word "quinoa"? I'm only asking because I thought it was something like "kwee-no-ah" and it wasn't until months later while I was shopping for some quinoa that I overheard people talking about it and realized that I had been mispronouncing it all that time. Luckily, I had only been saying it that way in my own head. So, for those of you who are still wondering, the proper way to say it is ...
Tastybrand Organic Snacks For Kids 2-102 (Review & #Giveaway)
My kids love to eat fruit snacks and cereal bars at home and on-the-go. As a mom who wants to feed healthy snacks to her children, I read the ingredients labels on our foods to see what actually goes IN to what we are eating. Imagine how happy I was to read the Tastybrand Organic Cereal Bar label and see that they are made with nutritious FRUITS and VEGETABLES. I’m not kidding, these whole grain cereal bars are made with fruits and ...
Skin MD Natural Lotion (Review)
Skin MD Natural Lotion is a skin care product I have been using for the past couple of weeks to help heal and moisturize my dry skin. This lotion works differently from other conventional lotions in two ways: First, it helps the inner layers of skin to absorb moisture; second, it forms a shield on the top layer to resist environmental irritants and protect the inner layers’ natural moisture. Lab tests have proven Skin MD Natural Lotion to be 6x ...
FREE Organic Baby Product Samples
Here is a freebie I came across this morning and now I have forgotten where I originally saw it ('cause I like to give credit to those wonderful mamas who share the good stuff like this! Blame my preggo brain for making me forget...) I signed up for it and then got distracted by my kids before I could share it with you here - but this looks like a good product to try, especially if you are wanting to use Organic, All-Natural baby ...
