Update on Thyroid Home Test Kit

About 5 years ago I found out that I had a deficient thyroid gland. So my doctor ordered a TSH test to determine how much medication I needed to boost my thyroid's performance. The problem I had was the $200 laboratory charge for the TSH test! Ouch!!! I remembered reading about home test kits for hormone levels and thought that maybe a home kit for thyroid testing might be available. What I found was the BioSafe TSH Thyroid Test Kit and recommended it to you. The problem now is that their company seems to have gone out of business. >>MORE

Crispy Baked Eggplant

Crispy fried eggplant is a favorite, but the calories from all the olive oil used in most recipes is not.

Adapt this recipe for all sorts of tasty recipes: Eggplant Parmesan, Eggplant Sandwiches, Eggplant Appetizers for a party. MORE>>

Vegan Dessert

Go Bananas

Frozen sweets are always wanted at our house! But frozen things seem rather expensive for just a few bites... and who knows what's really in them! So after considering the ingredients of a frozen fruit bar, I decided to experiment with a banana, some chocolate and nuts. The result is an inexpensive frozen low-calorie vegan taste treat. Yum, yum, yum! MORE>>

Flirting With Disaster

The Dangers of Desk Beverages Around Keyboards

I love to browse, read, and type my way through my morning brewed Kona Joe cup of coffee, but a few months ago I had to re-evaluate my morning ritual. Liquids anywhere on a desktop with a computer keyboard is as my husband, Rob-ART, says, "An accident waiting to HAPPEN!" And HAPPEN it DID!!!! I keep my MacBook Pro to my left on a desktop and my MacPro on my right. My coffee was poised in between the two and every time Rob-ART walked passed my desk he would hummmmm the tune to "You'll Be SORRY". I was confident that my neat and careful ways would triumph. But one day the unthinkable HAPPENED! MORE>>

Vegan Key Lime Bars

I love Vegan Key Lime Bars for the taste and ease of creation. I found that Key Limes are the least expensive at ethnic grocery stores. In the San Diego area they sell for 99 cents a pound. So this is not only a tasty dessert, but very affordable. I’ve told you what brands of ingredients I use, but you could use Jarrow Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil or another brand of vegan spread instead of Earth Balance. Remember, recipes are only a starting place. Use your imagination and experimentation to make each recipe your own. MORE>>
