Have You Heard of Nopalea Juice?
Feb 14th
I’ve found a really great new drink from a cactus plant! This Nopal cactus juice has properties that native peoples have used for centuries for great health benefits from the fruit. The drink is called Nopalea (No-pah lay’uh) and is quite tasty.
The Nopalea juice has strong antioxidants in it. Antioxidants have been proven scientifically to help the body in reducing inflammation, as well as helping the body to cleanse out some of the toxins that we take in daily. Since inflammation causes all kinds of discomfort in the muscles, joints and, well, everywhere, drinking a juice that is rich with anti-inflammatory More >
Add Orange to Your Slaw
Feb 12th
Do you have a family slaw recipe? We do. Every since I can remember, we’ve had the exact same slaw for family gatherings. It just seemed right. Then, as my children grew up, one of them became what you’d call a “foodie”. He began experimenting with every little thing. No longer were the “tried and true” good enough. He had to try 17 different variations on each and every traditional food I’d ever served.
Well, this is actually a good thing. I loved being pulled out of my rut. And there are so many different kinds of food out there, that More >
Butcher shop
Feb 11th
Thanks to Lemuel Craft
I was watching television and saw a commercial advertisement for a butcher shop that is located near where I live. The shop is owned by the dad of a former childhood friend of my daughter. I was interested in seeing what they sell and at what prices, but I really did not want to go in there without knowing ahead of time in case it was too pricey for my budget. I did not want the embarrassment of not buying anything in case I ran into the owner. We have www.clearTVbundle.com so I decided to see if they More >
Red Roses Need Greenery
Feb 9th
Valentines day is upon us. One of the most frequently bought flower for Valentines Day is a dozen roses. These used to come in an arrangement with other flowers and greenery for filler, so that the color of the roses had a lovely backdrop.
Unfortunately, with times as they are, even the florists are cutting back. This year I saw many a dozen roses being sold with no extra foliage at all. This will just not do.
So, when you get your flowers home, be sure to add some greenery in the vase with them. This is not as hard as you More >
Think and Act Just So to Get Your Goals
Feb 6th
Just a moment ago, I ran across a quote that seems really applicable to life, and to getting any of our goals met. It can be applied to anything.
“For any outcome that you want, there is certain way of thinking and acting that will get it for you. You have to find that way of thinking and acting, and adopt it.”
-Bill Harris
I guess the trick is in finding those right thoughts and actions. Good luck!

Jan 17th
Author: Joseph Sandoval
Ever since my dad signed up for CLEARTVbundle.com he has become hooked on The Food Network. I think that is so funny because when we were all growing up, we had a person that cooked for us and then my mother cooked the rest of the time when our cook was not there. We were not rich or anything, but that was just something we had growing up. Anyway, my dad has started to cook some in his older years. I will call to check on him and my mom, and he will tell me about some recipe that More >
Peppermint for Losing Weight
Jan 17th
Did you know that the smell of peppermint can reduce your feelings of hunger?
It works remarkably well. I think that peppermint tea would do the trick better than, say, sniffing a candy cane, but the essential oil of peppermint has long been known for helping people to reduce cravings, and lose that feeling of “gotta have something now!”
Not to mention that having a nice cup of peppermint tea would help to fill the stomach, and satisfy the taste buds at the same time.
Give it a try! and let me know how it works for you!

Jan 17th
I love tea. Yup. It is definitely my beverage of choice. I love regular tea, fruity teas, spicy teas, green tea, black tea, you name it!
However, many tea flavors are just too strong for me. If I were to make a cup of tea, with a single teabag of, say spice tea in it, it would just have too strong a flavor for me. So, I usually mix my teas. Mixing teas means that you’ll have to be making more than one cup at a time. That’s ok with me, as I usually drink more than one cup in a More >
Hard Boiled Eggs
Jan 17th
As long as, forever, I’ve had issues with hard boiled eggs that do not wish to let go of their shell. There’s nothing more frustrating than being in a rush to get your deviled eggs ready for company only to find that half the eggs are unusable because the shells refused to release, and the eggs came out with their flesh torn and ragged, and in no way presentable for company.
So, I’ve been hunting and hunting for a way to insure that my hard-boiled eggs come out clean. It has not been an easy task.
Someone told me that the eggs More >
Lady and Sons
Dec 9th
Thanks for the post from Barney Crosby
My mom’s best friend’s sister is Paula Deen’s personal assistant chef. So that means that when you turn on DIRECT TV and watch The Food Network and tune in to any of Paula Deen’s cooking shows, her personal assistant chef is the one that cooks everything that is shown on the show. One day on her show, Paula was talking about her restaurant that is called Lady and Sons in Savannah, Georgia. She was describing an awesome sounding dish called Lady and Sons Chicken Pot Pie. The recipe called for using frozen puff pastry, chicken More >
