Through The Tulips

I was watching something today that talked about how people complain about how it costs more to eat healthy but yet they spend money on more useless things than ever. Research has shown that if you buy fresh, unprocessed foods that your grocery bill may be a little higher, but your cost of healthcare or [...]

I mentioned yesterday that Marcel and I had rescued the electric BBQ grill that our neighbors tossed out when they split up. It sat in our storage shed for a couple of weeks until he cleaned it up this past Sunday with intentions of using it sometime in the near future. Well, the near future [...]

I mentioned in a previous entry that I’d bought some shredded carrots earlier in the week with the idea that I’d make some carrot cake muffins. Of course, that was before we knew we were going away for the weekend and I’ve been more than a little busy today. I had grand ideas of creating [...]

As if I didn’t have enough to do to get ready for our trip away, I’d forgotten that a few days ago I bought some shredded carrots in hopes of making a carrot muffin recipe. The idea was to create my own recipe, but now that I’m running a little short of time, I’ve decided [...]

Anyway, I receive several emails from them a day regarding health and nutrition. One of those emails usually compares to foods and shows which one is the better choice [...]

For people who know me, this will not come as much of a surprise, but I actually spend a lot of time thinking about health, weight loss, fitness and doing the best for my body. There was a time when I was looking for a quick fix and if that meant thermogenic fat burner then [...]

I was reading an article last night about calories and it showed a breakdown of calories, and I thought I’d share it with y’all. It was something that I knew already, but I hadn’t given much thought in a long time, and I was grateful for the reminder. For those of us who are working [...]

Most people who know me know that I’m a huge fan of Doctor Oz. I know that he’s been given the moniker America’s Doctor, and I love that he is committed and dedicated to teaching us all how to live healthier, longer lives. I’m one of those odd people who love to go to the [...]
