Can we clear this up
MEAT EATERS Ok so you eat meat and someone said something rude to you because they are a vegetarian, vegan or pescetarian, and you feel like they were looking down on you (honestly if they were rude about it then they probably were) Please don't tar the rest of us with the same brush because ONE rogue vegetarian/vegan…

Kids, why we love them.
Hey guys I was thinking this could be a funny post. What have your kids said or what have you heard a kid say that was funny, embarrassing, surprisingly mature or weird. I'll start, though mine I am sure is not the best we'll hear. My mom woke up in the middle of the night and saw my brother(he was like 5) sitting on the…

GRRR it's so irritating
I just have to get this out I'm so pissed about it even though in the grand scheme I know it's not a huge deal. Fiance wants me to make his lunches so he can save money.

kale chips, what I learned
I love love love kale chips, super healthy! and if you do them right they can have the after taste of Cheese itz. Who doesn't love that. I have made kale chips several times and here is what I have learned. 1. Do not over season them. They shrink so much in the oven that the little bit of salt or garlic salt on them makes…

Weird frustrations

Does anyone have Brazilian Butt Lift DVD
It's expensive and I would like to have it but want to make sure it's worth it. Is it fun? Did you notice major results? Is it just a bunch of squat/lunge combinations? Is it worth the money?

Your thoughts on Jersey Shore
Guilty pleasure, or do you think it's dumbing down america and making it look like most americans really act and live this way to other countries. It got me thinking after I saw a commercial for the new tv show H8ters where one of the episodes snooki confronts a guy that says he really hates her. My personal opinion is…

I was just reading a thread about horrible things people have said to others about their weight and being ugly and such, and it made me sad.

Gazpacho season is almost here!!!
I love Gazpacho and you can't get much fresher or healthier than all the wonderful fresh vegetables in this. You can eat it as a cold refreshing soup on a hot summer day, you can use it as a salsa. As a fresh sauce for mexican food. It works in so many ways. You can leave out veggies you don't like or throw in ones you do.…

Hummus is my new mayo
I just realized how good it is when replacing mayo..........that's if you like hummus of course. I put it on my wraps and in my tuna fish, in my enchiladas, and all the different flavors make it perfect for anything. You can even use it as a replacement for cheese as some of them have a cheesier flavor. If you like hummus…

Can you empathize?
Ok so lately I have been hearing a lot of "You'll never understand what it's like to be _______ unless you are _______. Fill it in with whatever you like, because a lot of people hide behind this statement. Does empathizing with someone count for nothing anymore? Can I not put myself in someone else's shoes through…

Any aquavegans out there?
I don't think there is a term yet for a vegan that eats seafood (I know I know not a vegan if you eat the flesh of any living creature) but their needs to be a term coined for a person that doesn't eat any dairy or meat except fish. most Pescetarians eat dairy so that won't work. So someone suggested aquavegans. Any other…
