I first heard about Zuzana from BodyRock.tv about a month ago. Stefan showed me one of her workout videos which was being passed around the stock broker network in Frankfurt and I was both awed and inspired by her right then. Check her out in the video below; it's...

Bad Boy Beef Tacos
Another favorite from the Harley Biker’s Cookbook , the Bad Boy Beef Tacos never fail to rock our world. This is one of our staple dinners here. Even Mackenzie loves them, although we do cut out a bit of the spice for her. When tasting this with “full heat”, keep in...
It’s a toy giveaway!
Since Christmas is nearly here, I thought it would be a great time for a giveaway. When I was contacted CSNBaby about giving away something from their online toys website, I barely even knew where to start. So I've narrowed it down to a few favorites that I would love...

Homemade chocolate liqueur

The Complete Book of Herbs Book Review
I recently picked up a copy of The Complete Book of Herbs by Lesley Bremness because I'm really interested in developing an herb garden. Actually, it will be sprawling container garden along with some things planted in our garden just because there are so many great...
Woof Wednesday: What’s my name again?
Hey friends! The weather has been glorious here. It's a brisk 34°F (1°C) in the morning these days, and down into freezing temps overnight. Even though it warms up to about 50°F (9°C) during the day, there's still frost on the grass when we go for the morning walk. I...
