March Mindfulness Challenge 2024
Life is...well....it's LIFE, isn't it? It can be good. It can also be busy, frantic, and sometimes, downright chaotic. We are pulled so many directions but so many situations and distractions. When do we have time to breathe, let alone live in the moment? So this month, I think it would be excellent to challenge ourselves…

I find it much more in line with my lifestyle than keto. High fat doesn't agree with my IBS. Wondering if other here are doing…

Homemade Pork Rinds
I am trying my hand at making homemade pork rinds. I picked up some pig skin at an Asian Market labeled rather dubiously as "Meat". It was actually pig skin, so step one was achieved. It had a lot more fat and meat on it than I expected, so step two was removing as much as I could. My technique improved greatly as I worked…

Major NSV Today
