Bone broth (stock) can be used instead of water in recipes. Use it to cook mashed potatoes, quinoa, cornbread, and beans. Bone broth is rich in minerals, particularly zinc and magnesium, which are vital for a strong immune system. The collagen in bone broth also promotes skin elasticity, hydration, and overall health.

When I was growing up, I was that kid who was wide awake at 6am and with full-blast sunshine energy, ready to go for school. As a *gasp* middle-aged adult? Not so much. So here are some of the coffees I’ve discovered in the past few years.
These, for the most part, will be for a Keurig. During the first year of Covid, I honestly tried with the type of drip brewer that I grew up with as an 80s kid (Mr. Coffee). But because I’m a klutz, I ended up breaking two in a month. (Maybe I should make a separate list of the objects I’ve accidentally destroyed in oddball ways.)

Some work out, others… Not so much 😳 Here’s some that have worked for me recently & my family enjoyed!

Lately while walking through the grocery store all you see on the ingredients list are bioengineered or a bunch of dyes. Finding something with real ingredients and no artifical coloring can be hard but not if you go to the right places. I have been making a lot of staples from scratch and seriously the are even more delicious than what you buy with fake ingredients. Happy baking!

We have two 3 year old nieces & one 3 year old nephew. Picky when it comes to food is an understatement. Figured why not make a list of some of their favorite foods & maybe help others struggling to feed their picky toddler munchkins as well. *This list will be primarily Wal-Mart items because everyone has access to a Wal-Mart* And these are foods the toddlers in our family love. And they can be pretty picky at times.

Shoutout to this corner of TikTok for constantly fueling the obsession ☕️

As vegetarians we also need to ensure we are having enough protein and with our schedules sometimes it's easier said than done! These are quick fix vegetarian favorites we have tried and absolutely love!
Keeping these recs a secret for any longer would have been a crime, since these teas have - unironically - changed my life. I therefore come in peace, offering this gift to the world, as a fellow tea lover. This list is therefore a result of YEARS of going to DAVIDsTEA a little too many times to try and find the best flavours. I unfortunately will be able to accept no criticism on these specific flavours.

A few weeks back I saw a post *somewhere * that was a picture of sourdough toast slathered with several types of pesto and garlic butter. It was a work of art..the different shades of green from the different pestos, like an edible paint swatch, the background a bustling European farmers market..that picture has lived rent free in my brain since then (and do you think I can find it again?!?!?! NO !!! ugh!) So with that beautiful toast having preoccupied my brain for weeks, it time to gather up some of my favorite toast recipes to share. Obviously the basics are simple: 1) toast bread 2) top with delicious foods. But this list might show you some new toast combos that you haven't even considered. I've broken it down to Savory Toast, Sweet Toast, French Toast, and a list of ingredients and supplies. And if any of you saw that pesto toast picture I'm talking about, please 🙏 let me know!!
