How to Keep Basil Plus a Pesto Recipe
Basil is a wonderful herb with lots of qualities but one negative thing about it is it wilts and gets slimy quickly. Fortunately, it’s an herb that freezes rather well and does not lose its pungent taste or smell. To freeze basil stick it into a ziplock freezer bag, squeeze the air from the bag and then toss into the freezer. Do not forget to write the date you froze the basil onto the freezer bag so you can ensure freshness. Fresh Pesto 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves 3 cloves garlic crushes and peeled 1/4 cup pine nuts 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground black…

Review – Imposter for Hire by Sandra Levy Ceren
Imposter for Hire by Sandra Levy Ceren boasts the thrill a suspense novel should have but there’s also an edge that most other novels don’t carry and that is a psychologist as the author. Yes, Dr Ceren is a lively psychologist living in California and has been in practice for more than 40 years. Author Sandra Levy Ceren knows how to get inside your head, as do most “shrinks”, but she has an exceptional way with mystery and suspense that I’ve not seen in quite some time. When I started reading the book I expected it was going to be boring. I guess I just have a textbook version…

Have a Child or Teen Diagnosed With ADD/ADHD – Freebie Alert
I grew up with a severe ADHD family member who tried to fling herself out of windows or reenact movies that she just watched. She would make poor choices as a teenager and her parents could barely control her. Thankfully the family member became an adult, has only very minor struggles now, and has in all accounts grew up to be a great adult. I am sure parents will agree with me that coping is the hardest part of being a parent with a child who has ADD or ADHD; it puts major stress on the family unit, and mother’s are statistically carry more of the weight than fathers do . Luckily, there…

Family Vacation on a Budget Review & Giveaway
As a family, we love to take vacations but as a college student I was not able to do it very often as there was a lot of homework and responsibility associated with my degree program. Since graduating we have been on a few vacations around Oregon and Washington State. We even froze our behinds outside while we camped at the ocean once. I do enjoy indoor sleeping quarters though and that is why I was so excited about my membership to Red Week, a time share website that allows you to save up to 50 percent on vacation accommodations. The great thing about this time share site is that…

Liquid Amino Diet – Week 3
The week started off well, I was down 4 pounds and eating right and drinking my water. But then life got in the way and I decided to have a cheat day. The cheat day caused a weight gain of 2 lbs and a stall and then it led to an additional 2 days of cheating. So yeah, week 3 wasn’t a pleasant one for me and I’m now up 3.5 lbs that I’ll have to work my tail off to lose. The moral of the story, do not cheat because it will stall you for days. Today I was really discouraged over the weight gain and the stall…
