My parents and grandmother have been visiting this week, and they've been feeding us delicious food nonstop! Below are some of the most delicious meals/snacks to which I've been treated. The family will be leaving early next week, and my heart and stomach will both mourn...
If you read this blog often or even occasionally, then you probably know that herbal tea is one of my favorite things in the whole world (in my long list of favorite things, it can be found right below my dogs and just above tart frozen yogurt). So when Maria from Sacred Rose Tea contacted me about the possibility of reviewing her lovely organic tea, I was all for it. To be honest, I squealed with excitement more than once when I opened my Sacred Rose package to see not one but two beautifully boxed teas...
When I saw Genesis Today's new Wake Me and Relax Me drinks in reasonably-priced 10 ounce bottles, I knew I had to try them both. The impressive ingredients and attractive design sealed the deal. My expectations were pretty high since I'm a huge fan of their Acai Berry Juice, but I tried to have an open mind with both beverages. Below are my thoughts concerning each.

For me, one of the best parts of vacationing is being able to eat delicious food nonstop without feeling the usual amount of guilt.

These ingredients: Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup And/Or Sugar, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, Caramel Color, Potassium Sorbate, Calcium Disodium EDTA. Preservatives and high fructose corn syrup? No thanks. Oh, and caramel color? Why is that even necessary?!? Needless to say, I was pretty excited when I found a recipe for Homemade Maple Cream Soda on Care2 that called for three simple ingredients: Sparkling...
I've had a cup of Yogi Ginger Tea after dinner for the past three nights, and each time I was pleasantly surprised to find that it actually made me feel less full! I've been a fan of Yogi Ginger Tea for a while (I was actually convinced that I had posted about it at some point, but I searched high and low and found nothing), but only because it's 100% organic and 100% tasty.
