I'm all for extra veggies, but I must say I was skeptical about this one. It was very... Brownish Green.

But to my surprise, it was lightly sweet with notes of cinnamon and chocolate. No strong green taste at all.

I also found it interesting that it wasn't a totally dissolvable powder. Small bits of the flax seeds could be seen... But small enough that I could drink them down with no problem.

I didn't think I've ever been surrounded by as many flowers as at the garden during their spring Bloom event. They also had a lovely hothouse with the largest begonia I've ever seen!

I was today-years-old when I learned this cute little wildflower is actually an edible form of mint. It's called ground ivy. Native to Europe and used to flavor and ferment beer for centuries until hopps because widely used. People used it medicinally, and by the 1600s, it had been purposely brought to the U.S. The leaves and flowers are edible if a bit bitter.

We walked in and hubby said, "That looks like something from the original Star Trek."

Can you guess where we were? If you're under 35, I'll bet you've never seen this!

Have you ever had cheese or something similar dry out around the edges of the open package? Food huggers are silicone end caps that work along with the food's normal packaging, creating a tight seal that doesn't let air get to it. They come in several sizes, including one for square ended sticks of butter. They also stack really nicely into each other for convenient storage.

added two more products to my collection from ! They are oils you use to condition the hair *before* you wash it - simply apply a few minutes before. The result is shinier, heathier strands. They both work well, but the Coconut is my personal favorite, because it smells like candy!
