I am always on the lookout for quick and simple meals for my family. An added bonus is when I find a hearty meal for these cold winter nights. I have found such a product and I couldn't be happier about it. I had the pleasure of trying Bertolli Meal Soups last night, and I am happy to announce that my family is in love with … [Read more...]
P.F. Chang's Home Menu On January 22, my family sat down at the dinner table in a festive mood because we were celebrating the Chinese New Year and this year just happens to be the year of the Dragon.

It's that time of year again when we all make new year's resolutions that we may or may not keep. I have a pretty extensive list, but I estimate only keeping about 50% of them. Let's face it, the whole new year resolution thing is kind of boring. Trop50 is doing something to make it a little more fun, and you can play along too (and possibly … [Read more...]
I don't know how chocolate got its reputation has a junk food. Okay, maybe I do--chocolate is usually paired with cream, plenty of sugar, and other things that aren't very good for us.

Although I had heard of eating chia seeds before, like most people my first thought when hearing the word "chia" is "CH-CH-CH-CHIA!" Yeah, you know what I'm talking about--the pottery that grows! When I was offered the opportunity to try Mamma Chia beverages, I thought, why not! I put flax seeds on my oatmeal, so why not drink chia seeds? Why not, … [Read more...]
Every once in awhile, something comes along that I really didn't think I would care for, but am pleasantly surprised. This happened recently when I was send Almond Fresh and Ryza, both from Earth's Own, to review. I am used to drinking regular ol' milk, even though I am aware of the health benefits of rice milk. Almond Fresh™ is made … [Read more...]
Riceworks healthy snacks review I'm always on the lookout for healthy snacks, but not just any healthy snacks--I want snacks that have bold flavors or different textures so I can forget that I'm eating something that's good for me. (I mean, really, if I was just looking for something healthy, I'd have some celery stalks, right?) riceworks just … [Read more...]
