INDULGING YOUR PASSION
Sometimes you have to take time out to do the things you love. Musical theater has been a passion of mine since I was very small. I was always singing along to the “Sound of Music” cast album (yes I’m that old) and the Grease sound track among many others.
Our local theater group produced “Narnia” this weekend. I played the White Witch and my sweet “baby” girl played Lucy. Not only did I get to storm around stage tapping my inner evil, I got to enjoy the experience with my daughter. We are both still coming down from the “stage” high.
These experiences are the ones that stay with us for life. I am so glad I carved out the “me” time to do it.
My advice? Take a little you time to enjoy what you are most passionate about in life. You will never, ever regret it.
NATURAL ALL-PURPOSE SURFACE CLEANER
This recipe is from my “Life & Style with Sara: Green Spring Clean” episode where Anne Wincze showed me how easy it is to make natural cleaning supplies.
I have been hearing a lot lately about a new study on chemicals in our cleaning supplies and household products. This recipe has no nasty chemicals, is inexpensive and effective. The bottle I used was recycled from an old Trader Joe’s Multipurpose Solution Bottle.
Happy (Green) Spring Cleaning!
NATURAL ALL-PURPOSE SURFACE CLEANER RECIPE
BASIC RECIPE
- 2 Cups Water
- 1/2 Cup White Vinegar
FOR EXTRA POWER:
- 1 tsp Borax - odor control and ants don’t like it.
- 10-15 Drops of Tea Tree Oil. Tea Tree Oil helps prevent mold and mildew.
Mix in a spray bottle and use. Can be used on most surface. Anne said not mirrors but I have been using it on my mirrors with no issue.
A small victory for those fighting for healthier school lunches. But there is still a lot to be disturbed about in this article.
I knew this stuff was in fast food burgers and USDA meat products sold in schools but I honestly didn’t know ”Some estimate that up to 70 percent of ground meat in U.S. contains Lean Finely Textured Beef” aka pink slime. YUCK!
Another good reason to know where your food comes from.
A friend of mine who’s husband manages a Whole Foods says she buys ground beef there because she knows they grind it themselves sans pink slime. Worth the extra $$$ in my opinion.
Now available to watch online, anytime.
Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread
Oh wait, it is sliced bread. My 12 year old found this recipe book at the library and declared she was going to bake bread. Of course she declared this on a day when I had a huge “to do” list and didn’t feel like making time for bread baking. (Not a proud momma moment.) When I told her this she declared she’d do it anyway. ”Okay,” I thought, “what’s the worst that could happen? She discovers yeast is tricky and we waste some flour.” Well, she proved me VERY wrong and not only baked bread but made dinner rolls too. And they were delicious.
Best part? She has made it a weekend tradition and we’ve had homemade bread for the last three weeks. This weekend I even convinced her to try the whole wheat recipe. It is just a delish as the white bread.
These are the moments when I see my little girl turning in to a young adult and I relish every proud moment.

The government regulates tobacco and alcohol. Why not diet?
Since a poor diet is one of the leading causes of chronic illness in our country and we all end up paying for it in the end - I have to say, I agree with Mr. Bittman. This is great “Food for Thought.” What are your thoughts?
