This video explores the hot peppers growing in our family garden, Please watch this video to join us as we wait for the peppers grow and mature. XOXOXOX Dawn It is hard to believe that this plant is from a sweet potato that was growing roots. In the spring, I purchased a couple of sweet potatoes at Whole Foods with the intention of baking them for dinner during the week. Although my intentions were good, one of the sweet potatoes never made it into the oven. However instead of wasting an organic sweet potato, we decided to plant it in our family garden. This video discusses this plant in detail. XOXOXOX Dawn Ice tea does not have to be sweetened or plain. You can enjoy homemade iced tea while enhancing it's flavor with almost anything. I made two quarts of iced tea using a quick and simple recipes.

I discovered and use three of the products. All three of these mixes are gluten free Gluten Free, Paleo and Keto. I noticed that the Paleo and Keto mixes are also gluten free. It is not displayed on the front of the package. However when you look at the back there is a list of allergen related information I did not like the mix labeled gluten free. It is made with brown rice flour. The brown rice flour changes the texture and taste slightly. My favorite mix is the Keto line. It is light and fluffy and the mix does not have an after taste.   Meet my follow blogger, Sarah Ackerman. We met a the Nourished Festival in 2019 at the Meadowlands Expo Center in NJ. She is a fellow blogger. I enjoy learning about the food journey of other people. I hope that you will show Sarah some support and watch her videos, look at her Instagram posts, etc. XOXOXOX Dawn Working Remotely comes with its own set of challenges, especially when social distancing. While I do not miss my daily commute into NYC, I miss the opportunity to participate in the activities in my community. I go to water exercise classes every morning. Now that the pool is closed I am missing my daily cardio workout. I have received a couple of questions about working remotely and my routine. The truth is that I really have not worked out the details of my work from home / work-life balance yet. I am adjusting to this new world of working remotely daily and managing self distancing. It is the new normal necessity for all, but it takes a bit of time to manage without anxiety and fear of doom ns gloom Here is my perspective on day 15 of working from home. Working remotely has given me the opportunity to prepare home cooked meals for lunch. In this video I discuss what I made for lunch. Pictures can be found on Instagram. |
