Don't Fry!July 8, 2010
The National Environmental Education Foundation's Earth Gauge reminded me that we especially need to beware of too much sun this summer. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun causes sunburn and other health effects, including skin cancer and cataracts. Everyone should protect themselves from the sun, and some groups can be particularly susceptible to health effects from sun exposure. Read the rest by Placer Nature Center... |

Organically Raised- Conscious Cooking for Babies and Toddlers By Anni Daulter. 2010.
A few of my tips and tricks to getting great skin, hair and nails by enriching your diet with vitamins, supplements, and foods.

Ok, we all know the big scare about BPA (bisphenol-A) plastic. We heard about it, some of us threw some out and we bought other stuff, and we see the “BPA free” stickers on new stuff now. But were you aware that there is a good chance you’re still taking in BPA? 
I absolutely love hosting people for dinner. I grew up watching my mother host dinner parties, and as soon as I started learning to cook, I began hosting little gatherings. They started off kind of simple in college---paper plates, red solo cups, and friends scattered over my tiny dorm using any available surface as a chair. I still remember the first time I had my husband (then boyfriend) over for dinner. Read the rest by the 
The best burgers in New York City in my opinion are Shake Shack – its as if god himself opened it and declared it AWESOME! While I didnt steal this recipe from Shake Shack – I’m told by many this is as close as your going to get it without waiting on an hour and half line on a day like today! I did however lift this recipe from American’s test kitchen (so blame them if its not 100% and shake shack you can blame them too if everyone starts cooking this at home!) Read the rest by 
Everyone at Natural Skin Shop is excited about this new promotion! We all love to read blogs and of course love writing them too. So, we thought this was the perfect promotion to run next. Its really the best of both worlds, we get to read all your wonderful posts and give away tons of skincare products and cash! Check out the rest at the
While in Texas a couple of weeks ago my sister in law Kari broke out dessert that she cooked which was this amazing Key Lime Pie (YUM and DROOL just thinking about it) after a few people on facebook commented on a post asking for the recipe (or more like begging and pleading) I would like to share an amazing and super easy to make Key Lime Pie recipe (THANKS KARI!)

It is H-O-T!! The rain cooled things off just slightly for a couple of days, but today the high was back in the 90s. And, as usual, the heat + humidity is hitting me where it hurts most--my hair. Oh how I wish we were back in the 80s when frizzy hair was all the rage. I'm still not quite sure what the Founding Father's were thinking when they built this city over a swamp! 
The sun is high, the breeze is warm, and the temperature is hot. This is a perfect day to go to the beach! We all know how much fun it is to spend a day at the beach, but have you ever wondered what good (or bad) affects it could have on your skin. If you have ever had questions about salty ocean water and sunshine, know that there are positives and negatives associated with a day at the beach. Read the rest from the 
I have to admit that I rarely ever use nail polish. Most of the polish I buy ends up drying into a rock solid mass in the bottle. So, when the toxic nature of nail polish was first published, I ignored it. However, I came across an article about nail polish that, well, if I'd had socks on, they would have been blown off. I decided I had to get that information out to people. Read the rest by 
So I am 7 months into my little blogging adventure, and I am still trying to get a feel for what people would like to see more or less of each week. I love it when people leave comments with suggestions because I like the idea of this blog being more of a dialogue than my personal cooking diary. Let's be honest, I still have a lot to learn. I also love it when I receive emails from people making special requests. In fact, I scream across the apartment for my husband to come see my "fan mail." 
Today's theme is grilled dinners, so below I have posted my favorite BBQ steak and veggies. I hope your family enjoys it as much as we do. Recipe Serves 4.| Contact Us | About Us | Advertise | Little Elfs Blog | Archives |
