My family loves hot soft pretzels, who’s doesn’t? There is just something delicious about a treat that is a little sweet, a little salty and a lot chewy. However, store bought frozen pretzels (nor street vendor pretzels) taste as delicious as a hot organic pretzel fresh from the oven. And what’s even better — making your own organic soft pretzels is easy and a super-fun activity to share with your children. So grab your children and their aprons, and check out my how-to project to learn how to bake organic soft pretzels that you and your family will enjoy.
Most children love to create artwork, and between at-home doodles and school projects, your child’s creations can really start to stack up. So we decided to come up with creative ideas for preserving and showing off your child’s artwork in a design-savvy way. After all, as parents we are very proud of our budding artists and find it hard to part with their art, but once the refrigerator and bulletin board are covered, what are we suppose to do with all of these masterpieces? One of the simplest ways to preserve your child’s artwork is by scanning each piece or taking a digital photograph, then recycling. However, if you are like me, the idea of simply tossing original art in the recycling bin is just not an option. There are many other ways that you can preserve your child’s most creative masterpieces, without tossing them in the recycling bin or cluttering up your home. Today I wrote about my favorite 7 ways to use your child’s artwork.
You may already know how to properly dispose of your unused prescriptions. However, there are also safe drug disposal programs that will do the work for you such as the Drug Take-Back Network. They collect the unused prescription medication – which are then incinerated. Supposedly, incineration is the most effective and least polluting option available. You can find a take-back location in your local area here.
Do you include flax seed or flax seed oil in your daily menu? You should – flax seeds are packed full of heart-healthy substances. These nutty flavored seeds taste delicious and with a dose a Omega-3 fatty acids, Lignans and Fiber – you can’t go wrong. You can now find flax in cereals, snack bars and many other items. However, I prefer to add a couple of tablespoons to our morning smoothies. Easy Peasy. You can pick up a 48 ounce package of Flax USA Organic Golden Flax Seed from Costco for $7.99. What a deal!
* I have heard that you should check with your doctor before starting flax supplements if you have a bleeding disorder or if you are a male with or at high risk of prostate cancer.
Do you add flax to your everyday menu? If so, what do you add it to?
