    July 23, 2012

    tips about protecting yourself on the internet. I thought it would make a great topic to share with you ladies online.

Note:  If you’re making a large serving, you may need to increase the cook time and even lower the temperature to ensure you don’t burn the chips. The best thing you can do for a large serving is use a large pan and…

    Easy Delicious Guacamole Recipe

    July 17, 2012

    Easy, Delicious Guacamole[/caption] If you’ve ever peeked on the label of store-bought guacamole, you’ll see all kinds of added ingredients that just don’t really belong there in Guacamole dip.  Our health is being affected with so many additives and preservatives. Does that mean I always fix “fresh” at home?  Sadly, no.  I’m lazy at times or in hurried rush with some other activity that’s going on…and so I grab those handy quick fixes at the grocery store. But…. just aiming to fix more fresh stuff at home and trying to avoid as much processed foods as we can…. even just half the time… can improve our health and help avoid…
