- Top Ten Reasons to Eat Breakfast
Sarah: You’re welcome! I always make sure to have something in my stomach when I’m out in the door in the morning.. even though it might not be traditional breakfast like cereal - Recipe: Edamame Beans, Chickpeas, Shiitake Mushrooms and Spinach
What is the Arrowroot powder for? It is for a thickener?? - Invest In Yourself With High Quality Food
B: The article I wrote was written as suggestions and ideas.It was a commentary on how many people choose to eat unhealthy food to save money because they don’t want to spend more money on perhaps healthier choices. We will willingly go and spend $5 on a gourmet coffee but not spend it on buying of several vegetables.
I certainly did not suggest that only overweight people are stupid or overshop. My husband is not overweight by any means and is a hoarder of food stuff. I am overweight and not a stupid woman. Sure, I make some poor choices. The issue is: It is about choice.
The principles mentioned in the article can apply to anyone and to any income. For example, dried beans can be purchased in bulk and in most cases are cheaper then the tinned variety. Also, bulk beans do not have the preservatives or salt such as tinned beans do. If you cannot grocery shop every week, you do have the option of freezing or perhaps making a variety of meals from some of the ingredients so that fresh does not spoil and go to waste. Some of the nutrients will be lost but vegetables, etc. are better then none. Do you live in a climate where you can grown your own produce outside or indoors? Could be an option. Reflect on your options.
As you mentioned, your family is on a limited income so that means you have to make choices with regards to food, clothing, and shelter. I am sure the same goes for food as well.
Life is all about choices and everyday we make a choice. Thank you for taking the time to express your comments.
Be Well,

- Recipe: African Peanut Stew
I made this tonight and did something different I would like to share.. I used Cashew Butter instead and to thicken the stew I waited until it cooled off a bit and added Isagenix Tomato Soup mix.. I am sure you know this but the soup mix is not to be added to water that is too hot because of the digetive enzymes.. It was very tasty so I scaled down the recipe and made enough for the two of us for our dinner. A nice treat on day two of the Vegetarian Challenge.. - Recipe: Lentil Loaf
I made this for a meal today. I didn’t have barley or rolled oats so I had to do a bit of substituting. I used spelt flakes and I used brown rice. Very tasty! I served it with sauteed zuchinni and mushrooms in tomato sauce. It made me happy!

Hi Just read the review on the documentry you watched in regards to Swingers…The people that were potrayed in this documentry is not a true sense of the people that do it..My husband and I are new to this, but have had dealings with friends for many years that told us how they go about it there is rules in each marriage/relationship on how when why and where. Many couples have a decent respect for each other and cleary the subjects in this documentry didn’t. Most clubs will allow a single female in but not a single male.
We are not bad people we were looking for some more fun in our marriage, that suited out lifestyle. It is based on trust and knowing when enough is enough.
Thanks for your comment. I am glad you can shed more light on the topic.
I fully admit I have limited knowledge on swinging but it is a topic I was curious about – and thought others might be as well.
I am sorry if my article implied that I thought swingers are bad people – as I do not think they are. It is just a life style I can’t see myself living. No judgment but just not for me.
If there is anyone else that can tell us more about what swinging is really like, I would love to read your comments.
If you really want to know what it’s like in the world of swingers, you might be interested in our blog. It’s very adult, in case that offends. We’d be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks Danni and B.
Whoa. It worked for me. Heh, … wasn’t expecting that.
You said this: “I do not want to be so emotionally detached from my partner that seeing him be sexual with another woman doesn’t bother me. ”
I feel the opposite of this – I feel super emotionally close to my partner, and seeing him with another woman excites me very much. I don’t feel threatened by it – I love watching him enjoy himself and it makes me feel proud to see another woman thrill at his touch. There’s a word for describing the experience of feeling pleasure when one’s partner is with another person, it’s the opposite of jealousy – it’s compersion. I’ve reached a whole level of complex emotions I never thought possible. It took some evolving, but I was curious from the beginning and I’ve never been the monogamous type.
My husband and I have played around with swinging and the only thing I got out of it was bacterial vaginosis from another female and a lot of lectures from my husband on how to behave. I now refuse to do it anymore. It may be for some but not for me. Another thing is that it seems that the women take better care of their appearances than the men so I was left having sex with men that were no where near as nice looking as my husband……….So who was the winner in all this? NOT ME!
Karen I feel sorry for you having the bad experience you did. I do believe that swinging is not for everyone, for the same reason you had your bad experience. Another reason being after seeing your partner with someone else, you get that bad feeling in the pit of your stomach. Swinging is not for everyone, if either partner feels uncomfortable after trying it for the first time then by all means do not do it again. It is not worth ruining the relationship you already have.
sounds like swinging isn’t for you Karen, as webmaster and swinger, in fact I started swinging when it was called wife swapping LOL – I love the lifestly and so does my wife, but I do know many other that have tried and didn’t enjoy it – but bottom line is – until you try you won’t know
My partner and I have done the swinging thing, and we loved it. We have had two really great experiences with hot couples that we can also just hang out with, the end of the night is just better!
We have also had 1 bad experience, but we just let that go.
We just learned that you both have to be very clear on what you want and the boundaries you have. We only swing in the same room as each other and everything is done together…. we cant get enough, but our main problem is finding people we click with..
as with one of the other posts, most of the men in the swinging are not very hot, and it sucks, but it just takes time to find another couple you both click with.
I am bisexual so it satisfies my needs to be with a girl, and my other half loves watching me with men, so he gets his satisfaction as well.. we have no jealousy issues, I love to watch him with girls,
Its not for everyone, however, how do you know if you have never tried??
Good write up.
I have also wrote some articles myself that are very useful for couples and singles thinking of trying out the lifestyle.

I tend to find that swinging is becoming more and more accepted.
Whats your thoughts.
I found a really cool new site http://www.asurething.net check it out adult dating
I agree it is definitely not for everyone. I have been involved for the past 6 or 7 years with a few different partners. It seems the partners that know exactly what they want out of it do just fine. The ones that roll with the punches and do things that they my not want to do have a lot of problems with it. There is also many many different levels of swinging not everyone is into the “full swap” which pops into your head when you hear about swinging. For more info check out my site http://www.curious4curious.com/site lots of information and real people. I know it was a shameless plug lol!
My experience on swingerscoast2coast.com has been an exciting one….I love being able to chat with other swingers…Just by talking to them you can fulfill your deepest fantasies….Not to mention the erotic games are a blast to play…On here you don’t have to pretend to be somebody you’re not…It is a relieving feeling to just be yourself and not have to worry about being judged for being a swinger, being gay, being straight, or being bisexual…Subscribing to this site was one of the best things I have ever done…Like I said its just a satisfying feeling to be able to be yourself and to be able to act out your fantasies no matter how crazy or erotic they are.
hey, apparently the first love hotel will open in France next summer, in Pontoise, next to Paris!!!! So cool!!! I was waiting for it in france for ages!!
Swiging sounds like good exercise, doesn’t it?
It seems like the only press Swingers get is bad press.
What’s happened to traditional marriage? Morals and values within a marriage? Wow.. sad.
