We are heading out to our little farm this weekend to plant our veggies. It really is a great feeling to grow your own food. If you haven’t done it you definitely need to try it. Now that the weather has changed, we are getting ready to garden. I am quite excited.

As somebody who has always believed in the power of a plant based diet, and worked hard to stay healthy and conscious about what she is eating, the holidays are pure sabotage. During the holidays, I most definitely did consume more than two glasses of wine per week. Diet Detox.

There was by no means any shortage of terms but there was a shortage of definitions. Traditionally, we have powered cars, planes, plants and a host of other things by burning fossil fuels. Many animals lose their homes and food supply due to the flooding that occurs when a dam is put in place. What are fossil fuels?

Living off the grid is challenging and is definitely not for everyone, especially the kind of people who are used to getting everything on a silver platter. People who live off the grid usually produce their own food, heat, energy, water, and live a much cleaner life. This doesn’t make it easy by any means, though.

Michelle brings Riesling to a very high level, serving beautifully both as a refreshing sipping wine and as a phenomenal complement to an almost endless range of foods. Riesling is great as a sipping wine on its own, but its versatility is what makes it the perfect food wine. And Chateau Ste. In other words…yum. Cleveland, Ohio.

Remover the cube and plant a big kiss on your partner. My money habits have definitely changed over the years. Financial Highway tells us how we can beat inflation with our food budget.

We feel it at our house too and this is definitely an area I need to improve. During the vacation season, offer to water plants, pick up mail, open and close the blinds, take care of pets, for a fee…of course. Also, look into food delivery services, such as GrubHub, Uber Eats, and Door Dash. 6 – Eat dinner at home.

The logic is simple – chemical fertilizers are created to be water soluble so that the plant will ingest it whenever it takes in water. Thus, when there is no water anymore, the plant that is stuffed with chemicals will reach a level of toxicity that will eventually kills it. Most readily available foods are stuffed with chemicals.

Growing up in a large family, we had enough, but with the specter of inflation and bad job market (gotta love the 70’s and 80’s) , there was definitely a feeling of needing to make sure you had a cushion. If I could spend it without strings, I might just donate it to a food pantry. I have what I need right now.

I’d estimate that 50% of the time you’ll see canned food, boxed dinners, bags of chips, and cases/bottles of sodas lining most peoples’ carts. The news of our health definitely was a shock because we aren’t overweight and I feel most people would consider us “healthy” based on outward appearance.
