For many people, Earth Day (April 22 this year) is just another day. For someone like me that has a bit of a hippie in them, earth Day is an important holiday and one that I actually love celebrating. While I totally believe in the mantra, “Earth Day, Every Day”, I also love that this […]

Sugar Free Strawberry Fudge

I have been a little New Orleans obsessed since I went there a couple of months ago. Being that I was raised Catholic for a period of time, I knew essentially what Mardi Gras was essentially about, but it wasn’t until I visited Mardi Gras world there that I learned much more and I became […]
