Why I Love Peanut Butter!

Back in my school days, a peanut butter sandwich was my least favorite lunch. I just didn’t appreciate it! But these days, I love peanut butter — and here’s why. Peanut butter is full of protein — around eight grams of protein per serving. That helps you feel fuller longer. Peanut butter has fiber — around two grams of fiber per serving. Fiber helps your body run smoothly. Peanut butter has vitamin E — an antioxidant that helps clean free radicals out of your body. Peanut butter has magnesium — a mineral that helps build bones and may be key … Continue reading →

The Best Peanut Butter in the World

Maybe I’m biased because this cozy little sandwich shop is tucked away in Greenwich Village. Or maybe it’s because they add white chocolate chunks to one of their peanut butter flavors and white chocolate is my absolute favorite candy. But I think that the Peanut Butter Company’s homemade peanut butter is the best peanut butter in the world–hands down. The Peanut Butter Company is not just a sandwich shop but almost an ‘ode’ to peanut butter. These people are seriously passionate about peanut butter. They boast a full menu with a variety of creative sandwiches like the Elvis (grilled peanut … Continue reading →

The Enigma of the Wi-Fi Allergy

Schools have started getting better about understanding allergies. Some schools have banned peanut butter in an effort to keep kids with peanut allergies safe. The Wi-Fi allergy, however, is still an enigma. What is an allergy? According to the Mayo Clinic, allergies occur when a person’s immune system reacts to a foreign substance (pollen, bee venom, peanuts) that doesn’t cause a reaction in most people. Symptoms of allergies can range from sneezing to hives to anaphylaxis. Allergies cannot be cured, but some can be managed. The best way to manage an allergy is for people to avoid the things that … Continue reading →

There’s no easier way for kids to explore new and exciting worlds than cuddling up with a favorite book.  Adventures await on each page and there’s no telling where your child’s imagination can take her once she peels back the front cover.

Free Fun in the Sun!

It’s summertime. I am finally out of school for a few weeks and Logan and I are taking advantage of it! We have been playing and playing hard! There are so many things I want to do with him before school starts up and our time is limited again. But, as all single parents know, money doesn’t grow on trees, so we are forced to get a little creative with our fun since so many activities cost money these days. Logan loves to be outside. I’d love to be able to put him in all of the summer sports camps, … Continue reading →

Entertaining Fun

Posted on by

I am not the world’s best housekeeper. I will win no awards for my cooking. However, my home is a warm inviting place and I love to entertain. I think what keeps people coming back is that I always come up with something different for an appetizer or dessert, depending on the occasion. I had a barbeque on Monday to celebrate Memorial Day. My father was killed in Vietnam so I want to honor him every day but do something special for holidays. We had so much food and amazingly, this time we had very few leftovers. I think I … Continue reading →

Spend Less, Eat More

With the holidays fast approaching now is the time to review your food budget to adjust for upcoming celebrations. Whether you are hosting extended family or you’ve been asked to bring a dish to pass for a holiday potluck, it helps to find ways to stretch your food dollar. One of the best ways I’ve found to feed the masses on a budget is to skip the steak and opt for chicken. Save the fancier meats for the main holiday meal and use chicken to feed friends and family on the nights that precede or follow the celebratory meal. Preparing … Continue reading →

Brain Food

Brains use up 20% of your carbohydrate intake. Brains love carbs and so do I! I should be the smartest person in the world since I consume more carbs than my share. Yet, my brain is smarter than me since it craves a certain type of carbohydrate. My brain does not want a daily intake of Twinkies and grape soda. My brain seeks food that helps it run on full power. That requires a steady supply of sugar. When a steady supply is provided I move along my day calmly and in check. Erratic behavior occurs when my brain operates … Continue reading →

Who is Poisoning Your Diet?

For those struggling with weight and desperately trying to shed pounds it is important to have the right attitude. As with most tasks the proper outlook makes a difficult task a little easier. As unfair as it may seem gaining weight is far easier than losing weight. In droves dieters don a sunny disposition, the latest headbands and sports gear, grab a sports drink and sweat to the oldies in an attempt to shed extra pounds. This works for some time until reality smacks them in the face like a burger hitting the grill when all the sweat accumulated into … Continue reading →
