Amy's

I have to say upfront, that I am not a big fan of TV or frozen entrees, but during a busy day at work, I have been known to eat a few.

My new gluten-free favorite line is Amy's.  The mexican entrees are better than the Indian (bummer, because I love Indian Food), but the tamales, etc were pretty good if you have access to an oven, obviously they are better than in the micro.

Genetically altered Salmon- Just Say No

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/26/business/26salmon.html

A gene-engineered fish, top, and a natural one of the same age.

AquaBounty, developer of the AquAdvantage Atlantic salmon, would sell fish eggs to fish farms, not salmon to supermarkets.

Sorry guys, but at some point we all have to take some responsibility for the quality of our food.  Just Say No!

Finding My Green Thumb

My garden is shaping up at least for now.

I have Chives, Thyme, Dill, Tomatoes, Squash, Mint, Lettuce and will soon give Strawberries a go.

It is still cold in the Rockies at night so just to be safe I am still bringing in most of the plants at night.

Thankfully I have found a good solution to do so and my son does not seem to mind.

The Golden Ticket

Everyone made fun of me when I came home with these Golden Raspberries, but they are delicious.

8 accupuncture sessions

It has been over a month since my last accupuncture session, and I have to say that I definitely benefitted and do see a difference without it.

I know that it can be somewhat pricey - between $60-75 a session-be sure to ask if they have a better deal if you pre-pay several appointments ahead of time and usually they will.

With a few more dollars in my pocket after this summer selling session, I plan to begin going back once a month.

Sunflower market is a great store, if you are lucky and live in one of the states above, you can visit their stores.  (I believe that the gentleman who started Wild Oats sold it to Whole Foods and got involved in these markets.)

They also have great recipes online, looking forward to making some of these!
