Take Control of Your Time – Set Some Boundaries
Poor time management can cause stress you don’t need in your life. If people at work or within your family and friends are taking advantage of you by requesting or demanding precious time – it’s time to set boundaries for yourself. Is It You? Part of the problem with letting people steal your time from you could be you. If you allow people to interrupt you at work, let friends call when you’re trying to interact with your family or if a person in a relationship disrespects you by taking advantage of your good nature, you may need to rethink the boundaries you already have in place and create boundaries…

National Dessert Month: Apple Pie a la Mode
As we get into the holiday season, we start getting ready for the crush of desserts that will be coming our way during the season. One popular dessert during this time of year is apple pie. Here is another entrant for National Dessert Month — apple pie a la mode. My paternal grandmother made apple pies (and cobblers but that’s story for another day) a lot. I remember watching her — no measurements needed there — and hoping that I could make things that tasted as good as her baking. I think we are getting there… The recipe for No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream included in this post as well.…

Life Reset: Check Your Gut
If there is one thing you learn today about resetting your gut (and health) it is this: this is NOT about a detox or a cleanse. Your body detoxes and cleanses itself on its own, thanks to a little something called your internal organs. You don’t need flat tummy tea or a juice cleanse to get it done. Instead, you should focus on making small changes that will improve your digestion and help restart your health from the inside out. Start With What is Bothering You the Most Before you can reset your gut, you need to know what you are actually trying to change. When it comes to your…

National Seafood Month: Seared Grouper with Lemon-Thyme Butter Sauce
October is National Seafood Month. While I am allergic to seafood, my family really enjoys it. I still have to keep up with good recipes. One of the recipes that I am sharing for seafood month is Seared Grouper with Lemon-Thyme Butter Sauce. This recipe uses grouper because it is relatively easy to obtain in many places. If grouper is not available, however, snapper, monkfish, tilefish, and many other mild, yet firm, white fish can be used instead. The pictures on this post feature golden tilefish, which is found all along the Atlantic coast of North America from Florida up through New England and into Nova Scotia. In terms of…

One of the best things about Halloween each year is the trick-or-treating. In our family, my husband or I (usually him) would take our kids out each year. However, when my son decided he was too old for costumes, he committed to taking his younger sister out each year. It wasn’t all altruism, though. He got a LOT of candy from people who were proud of him…
