My Basic Vegan Sugar Cookie may be adapted to lots of flavors, shapes and added ingredients like nuts and chocolates. But for the holidays, this recipe makes perfect cookie shapes for that traditional sugar cookie we all LOVE! Give this recipe a test drive and see what I mean. I keep several "logs" in the freezer to have on hand for a quick tea party treat or an addition to a fruit desert.

Cut-Protection Glove
I can't tell you how many times I've severely cut my hand, scraped a knuckle, nicked the tip of a fingernail or simply slipped while using a V-slicer mandoline. Yes, there are guards that can be used, but they do NOT always work or will NOT hold on to the veggie. Now, the SIMPLE SOLUTION to cut prevention is the purchase of the Microplane Kitchen Cut-Protection Glove. >>MORE

Texas Black-eyed Pea Caviar
I first remember eating this beautiful pickled black-eyed bean caviar at a Mexican restaurant in Honolulu. But the real influence for this refreshing dish is a New Year's Day Texan Tradition. Apparently eating it will bring "good fortune" if eaten on the first day of the new year! Personally, I think you'll be blessed by eating this any time during the year!
Texas Caviar is a great appetizer for an impromptu get together! Served with crispy corn chips and paired with your favorite beverage will provide guests with an evening remembered. Or keep a bowl in the refrigerator and scoop some up for a lunch box side dish… it makes a great mid-afternoon snack for an office lunch or tea time the American Way! I also like to add a cup of it to any tossed salad. >>MORE

Salt and the Human Body
Iodized Table Salt Those little round cylindrical pour boxes of salt that we all grew up with are not be the best salt for a human to consume. After having taken care of two parents that suffered from congestive heart failure, I learned early on that salts differ and the wrong sodium intake wreaks havoc with many bodies immediately with water retention and high blood pressure results from its use. So if you suffer from high blood pressure or other health issues, iodized table salt is not the best thing to put into your body. But don't despair, there are GOOD salts that don't produce these unwanted side effects! >>MORE
