Food dehydrator
One of my favorite kitchen appliances is my food dehydrator. Need a healthy snack? Cut up some fruits and make whole-fruit leather. Apples, bananas, apricots, peaches, mangoes and pineapple make fantastic dried fruit. Or, if you want to treat your pooch, cut up some sweet potatoes, drizzle with Vitamin E oil, and you have fantastic, [...]
Flip video camera
We got a Flip video camera several months ago - a Mino HD. It fits in your purse (or your pocket), is very easy to use AND it comes with it's own editing software - which is loaded on the camera so you can edit your movies on your computer or on grandma's. LOVE it! The flip part? It's the built-in USB that flips out at the touch of a [...]
Xylitol gum
Xylitol is a sweetener that has been used as an alternative for diabetics. It's also been shown to fights cavities, battle bacteria, and increase bone density. What do you do with such a sweetener? Why, put it in gum, of course! The type of xylitol gum I chew is B fresh. It's Kosher, Vegan and Gluten and Soy free. I especially [...]
Teething Bling
Curious babies love to pull and chew on necklaces, bracelets and anything else within their grasp. Rather than go jewel-less, Smart Mom created an amazing compromise: Teething Bling. Made from the same material as many teething toys, Teething Bling is non-toxic and safe to chew on and comes in several colors and patterns. Awesome.
Bob’s Red Mill
This week I made my famous cookies, converting them to wheat-free and gluten-free with two different flours from a local, Milwaukie company, Bob’s Red Mill. According to it's website: Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods produces more than 400 products, including a full line of certified gluten free products and an extensive line of certified [...]
Ode Magazine
Ode has been one of my favorite magazines for years. It's awesomeness on paper. I heart Ode. From their own website: Ode is a print and online publication about positive news, about the people and ideas that are changing our world for the better. Enough said.
Arnica Gel
I discovered arnica gel about 15 years ago, when doctors told me I would need to stop playing softball in order to heal my elbow, which was suffering from serious tendinitis. When I went in search of something to help with the pain, the woman at my local homeopathic shop handed me some tablets, magnets, and a tube of arnica gel. Arnica [...]
Jack Lalanne Juicer
I use my Jack Lalanne juicer every day, with very few exceptions. You can put just about anything in it (except bananas and ice). It easily juices carrots, ginger and beets as well as apples, oranges and kiwi. It makes fabulous juice and you can use the pulp to make muffins, smoothies, soups and more. It fits nicely on the counter and [...]
Thera Cane
Do you ever feel like you need a back rub? Do you find yourself without someone willing to give you that back rub for quite as long as you’d like? Never fear, the Thera Cane is here! The Thera Cane, originally developed by a chronic pain sufferer, is fantastic. I know it looks crazy, but the design means you can get some serious [...]
Insta-Totes
Just about every grocer now offers reusable bags you can buy at check-out. Sometimes they're cute, sometimes their durable...but few compare to Patty Reed's Insta-Totes. I LOVE these bags. Love them. They're made from recycled polypropylene (plastic water bottles) and are 100% recyclable themselves. They're waterproof, can be wiped clean [...]
