What you see is what you get in this cookbook. There isn't a breakdown of why to go vegan or what vegan looks like. Instead the book gets right to the recipes. And the ingredients in the recipes should be in most grocery stores. I think this Is going to be a great resource for someone who knows the whys of going vegan but doesn't know where to start. … more

I haven't checked out Brendan Brazier's previous two books, but, since my public library had Thrive Foods, I did indeed check this one out. Brazier's why to go plant-based is very compellingly presented. He has done some serious homework. The first 100 or so pages of Thrive Foods is focused on the realities of nutrition and why the Standard American Diet is not … more

You get a Cardio, Total Body, Lower Body, Yoga Flex and Abs workout. Each one is only 10 minutes long. It is less intense than P90X. Great starter DVD set for anyone.

Football is a sport that I always loved to watch but never liked to play. It was just so much fun watching players pick off passes in the end zone and run'em all the way back. Plus the conversations with other fans back in high school always rocked.

A useful plant which can be rather easily turned into a good pasta dish.

The third greatest thing in life (as with daily routine). It is re-vitalizing, healing and a significant part of life. Sleep is very important and gives the brain time to reboot itself from the stresses of life. I like dreaming too.... :)

I'm not a cookbook collector. Oh, I collect books and have a whole wall of bookshelves to prove it. But I need my cookbooks to be more than pretty decoration. If they don't work for me, I scavenge what I will use, put it in a three ring binder and the cookbook moves to a new home. Vegan with a Vengeance is moving in. Why? I've … more

When I get a cookbook, I look through the recipes and try a few that sound good to me. And if there are five or ten recipes I will add to my life recipe file, I consider the book a keeper. I'm pretty picky. If a recipe book has only two or three I want to try, I don't buy it. If I'm given the book with just a few keeper recipes I usually will copy down the recipe, put it in … more

September 30, 2011
posted in Healthy Lifestyle
Apple Juice is one of the most used juice in our household. It's one of the only juices we give our 2 yr old daughter as if she spills it--no stains. Plus it's the one with the least chance of allergic reactions. But not only that..when you are sick with one of those nasty colds, Warm up a cup of apple juice and steep a nice herbal Tea in the hot apple juice instead of water. You will have a FEEL … more

Delicious but OH so bad for you! If you are lucky you will find a Pizza hut that still has a salad bar; but even then if you want to be healthy you will need to fore-go the salad dressing as each one is not a healthy choice. Of all the pizza's We've eaten Pizza Hut has the most grease-including in the crust..which is probably why it tastes SO good; but if you are looking to stay trim and fit..this … more

Sparkling ICE Spring Water, Pink Grapefruit I was pleasantly surprised when a co-worker let me taste a new flavored water drink he had discovered. I expected it to be overly sweet with and artificial flavor and aftertaste. Instead, it tasted like the real thing, wasn't too sweet, had a mild carbonation, had mostly natural ingredients and vitamins, and no calories or carbs. There … more

There is a lot to like about the somewhat pricey Leifheit 23200 Signature Salad Spinner. Sturdy design, attractive appearance, effective drying mechanism, a container that doubles as serving bowl, and a mesh cage that can also drain hot pasta. The primary feature is a lawnmower-like pull mechanism that takes a little practice to get the hang of. It isn't intuitive and both of my children … more

Kort_Kramer reviewed Remington Alphagel Cooling Menthol Shave.
September 20, 2011
posted in Healthy Lifestyle
I personally like the strong menthol scent of Alphagel Sensitive Skin -- the 'Fragrance Free' feature is a bit misleading. I even enjoy the way it can make my eyes water if I use a lot of it, but that may not be for everyone. It also doesn't lather up as foamy as some competing products (which I like), but Remington uses this as a selling point. I generally prefer … more

I regularly take Omega-3 fish oil for its touted heart, brain, skin and joint benefits. I recently turned 40 and figure I should keep things well oiled (bad pun - sorry). I've tried variety of brands and dismissed most of them because they elicited the dreaded fish-burp/reflux after consumption. The two best I've found are Schiff MegaRed and Coromega. The latter I enjoy sucking right out of … more
