If there’s a veggie burger out there, I’ve tried it. Here are my faves:
Organic Sunshine Burgers. These are divine. They hold up on a grill and are especially good broken up in a tortilla with veggies. I especially like ’em because they are free of textured vegetable protein (TVP). TVP is a highly processed product which causes [...] Thought I would share one of my favorite summer beverages:
Mmmmmm… Honest Tea beverages. I’ve sipped on almost all the flavors, and every one is fabulous. I love ‘em for so many reasons: The teas and punches are organic and fair trade… The unsweetened teas are flavorful… The sweetened varieties use just a bit of organic cane sugar… The [...] I love the message on this bag:
Click here to check out/order shirts and other products with the same message. Here’s my new favorite stir-fry sauce and tofu marinade:
Sweetened with agave, all organic ingredients, 25 calories per tablespoon and only 1 gram of fat– now that’s a good recipe. There’s a nice dose of salt, but not excessive for a bottled sauce. Check out the website for more info. For [...] Looking for a good healthy cereal? Here’s one of my personal faves:
Heritage Flakes from Nature’s Path Organic… yumm. Top with some organic blueberries and it’s breakfast bliss. The cereal is a blend of ancient whole grains; Kamut, wheat bran, spelt, oat, barley, millet and quinoa. It’s low fat, low cal, low in [...] My hubby was in the landscaping business for many years. I was always shocked by the stories he would tell me about how wasteful and toxic the industry is. This is an industry that needs to be cleaned up. First step: Take care of your own health (and others) by NOT using toxic chemicals on your lawn. You’ll save some cash and the [...] Here’s my cowboy salsa recipe and my quick & easy hummus recipe… apologies in advance for my lack of recipe writing skills. I can’t follow them and I can’t write them…
Cowboy/Cowgirl Salsa 1 can black beans 1 can black-eyed peas About 1 pound tomatoes (best with romas), chopped 1/2 [...] There ARE toxic chemicals in our cosmetic products (see earlier post on personal care products, visit the Cosmetic Safety Database, check out Not Just a Pretty Face- book and website). For many years, finding a healthy makeup that actually performed was practically impossible. Thankfully, there has been a lot of progress in the development of quality products that aren’t full of chemicals. This development is making the switch to healthier products much [...]
A good yogurt is hard to find. Many of them are full of artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners and sourced from inhumane and unhealthy dairy corporations. Though I’m mainly a vegan, I tend to crave a yogurt every now and again… and some good cheese… ooh and a bit of ice cream… yummm… Anyway, back to the yogurt, it’s called SKYR and [...] If you’ve never perused the website for the Institute of Noetic Sciences then now is the time. I look it up every now and again to see what kinds of funky, out-of-the-box topics they’re discussing. I absolutely love the way the Institute describes their work: “[The Institute] conducts and sponsors leading-edge research into the potentials and [...] Imagine this saying wriggling around on a little onesie– how cute! For those attending a baby shower soon– here’s a great gift idea (if you live in MN, pair it with a Sweet Cheeks gift certificate and you’ll make mama and baby very, very happy).
Katie Holley, designer and owner of Swami Baby offers these wonderful onesies and the [...]

Not all of Burt’s Bees products are as healthy as would be expected, but they’ve done a solid job in the lip category (well… actually, the majority of their products are safer than most brands). As a bonus, you can purchase the special edition Beeswax Lip Balm and help support research for Colony Collapse [...]
Yum. I Just finished fixing and eating the 6 Bean Organic Soup from the Women’s Bean Project. The Women’s Bean Project is a nonprofit organization that produces gourmet foods to sell in specialty shops and on their online store. Women’s Bean Project employs women who are in need of jobs and teaches them [...]
Ten Thousand Villages is my favorite store of the moment. It’s a fabulous shop that houses tons of handmade, fair trade products- everything from food to jewelry. Mom just got me a beautiful necklace from 10,000 to celebrate my graduation (back in December). It was made by some amazing artisans in Burkina Faso. It feels so awesome to [...] |
