Leftover Ham Recipe
I do not know about you, but I just absolutely freak out with what I am going to serve for the holiday dinner. You may have new people coming to the house and you want to make a great 1st impression and as you know it things just do not work out the way you plan it. Well I tried to plan it where there was not leftovers, but just like countless of other families after celebrating a major holiday there are always leftovers and you do not want to put them to waste. That was the case for us after having family and friends over for Thanksgiving, we arrived…

Savannah almost got me
Traveling and exploring new and fun sites are one of my favorite things to do. It seems that every time we visit somewhere new I fall in love, but I am sure it is just the newness of it. There are a few places so far, that I have hated to leave: Maui: my hubby and I were married Seattle: it always seems to be gloomy, but I think because one of my favorite television shows’ character lived there Frasier Savannah: fast paced slow city Punta Cuna: place where I went on my best grown up vacas with my parents The one that I tell hubby that we can definitely…

Freebies, Samples and Amazon Review Items
The of a thing is always better I have heard, but not in this case in regards to the freebies, samples and amazon review items. I actually received more items at the beginning to the middle of the month compared to the middle to the end of the month and you will see what I am talking about shortly. I can honestly say that since earlier last month I have been catching up on some of the amazon reviews that I was behind in, but at the same time I done went and added some more. Now one of my most favorite stores is Bath and Body Works and I…

1 of the top Kitchen Utensils
Cooking is one of my favorite necessities and hobbies. Necessity when I have to eat and hobby when I just want to try out a new recipe and do something new and different. I do not know know about you, but the first thing that I learned to cook was boiled eggs. I do not know about you, but I lived in a household where both parents worked and sometimes the same shift, so learning to cook was a necessity.

Quick Kale and Banana Smoothie
Part of my/our challenge in this eating better game is to make sure that there is some form of greenery in at least one of our daily meals, whether it is a green apple or two, romaine lettuce instead of iceburg, spinach or greens. Usually the way that I love and enjoy greens is to have some form of good old fashioned fatty meat mixed in the greens, but for the past 3 weeks since we have had this Blendtec machine we have cut down on the amount of fat and fatty meat that we consume. The Blendtec has served us well so far and today we decided to focus…

You too can lose weight with a Colon & Body Cleanse Detox
During this holiday season it is hard to eat all of the increased fatty foods and still lose weight. There is just so much temptation out there, but if you are going to eat the fattening goodies make sure to counter it someway or another. Some people, like myself, add 5 pounds from the week before Thanksgiving and by the New Year, which is why so many are interested in a New Years Resolutions. There are increased parties given by all sorts of people in your circle, from work, to church and don’t forget the family. So what are you going to do? I tell you what, even without dealing…

Blendtec PAS Smoothie Recipe
Everybody and I mean everybody loves a “new” toy and as far as what that “new” toy is totally subjective. Some people would say that it is anything that is new whether it is a new car, a new job, a new purchase, new clothes or even new toys. And in my case, my well our newest toy is a blender. Oh wow you say, what is the big deal. What is the big deal? The big deal is that it is a “new” toy that was in the making for over 3 years. You see, I have wanted that perfect blender and yes, I have settled once, but that…

World of Coca Cola
On occasion, hubby and I have an opportunity to go on a what we would call, a Hale Adventure and that is when we just on the spur of the moment decide to do something different. We were both off, because he had a doctor’s appointment and after the appointment we decided to go to a new restaurant in Downtown Atlanta. This restaurant received a couple of great reviews, but we did not feel the same. I believe that the waitress was in a hurry to get us in and out and not to help us have a pleasant experience. Can you guess what restaurant we were visiting?

Luke’s Organic Brown Rice Chips #tsnt
What goes well with a cold cut sandwich? Some say beer, some say chips and in my household we would definitely choose chips, but these chips were not our regular plain or yummy bbq chips. These chips were Luke’s Organic Brown Rice Chips with Himalayan Pink Sea Salt that we obtained on our trip to Burlington Coat Factory a couple of weeks back, see here, Burlington Coat Factory Haul.
