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.

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!
