My ecstatic and erratic uncle is a firm believer that when it’s freezing cold outside (environment) all you have to do is match the temperature inside (body) and your worries about the chills in your bones are ghttp://wewantorganicfood.com/2007/07/15/how-to-make-organic-ice-cream/one. Yes he believes that when it’s both cold outside and inside there will be no notice of the difference in temperature and thus you won’t feel cold – can’t feel cold if you don’t know what warm/hot is? Anyway all I know ...

Christmas is just around the corner.  Everyone’s in the spirit and excited for the holiday. We’ve all begun our making our plans, begun executing them to make the Christmas of our dreams. We’ve made up our minds about what we’re serving for the Christmas dinner/lunch and planned it to the very minute detail...but even the best plans aren’t fools proof and sometimes in the mids of all the excitement we tend to overlook a thing or two.

I’m sure every green supporting family would incorporate the desire of serving a green Christmas ...

If you have allergies like I do, then you know how awful an attack leaves you feeling. While immediate medical attention would stop the flare up from killing or disabling you (really depends on how serious your reactions are) anyone who is an ‘experienced allergies sufferer' will tell you that it's the recovery period after that is absolute misery.

Depending on what kind of allergic reaction/episodes you are vulnerable to it could leave you with anything from a bout of runny congested nose to a sore throat to slow subsiding facial swellings with a heavy head or simply just raw skin from an itchy rash.

Now normally at this point, you'd be prescribed some medications to help ...

Fennel is a spice. It's a powerful yet ever so tiny little seed spice that has a sweet taste with a bitter undertone... In parts of South East Asia, it's very common and can be found in many dishes.

Fennel is famed to be extremely good for digestion, acting as a booster for it.  In Indian culture* eating/chewing some raw fennel seeds after a meal is a common- aids digestion of the meal and works instantly to freshen the breath like a mint.

There are many ways to use fennel seeds. The seeds can be used as a whole or grounded and cooked together with your meals, you can chew on them raw or you can like me, infuse it into a nice cup of herbal tea!

It's really simple ...

Picking up where we left off yesterday, here are the other few tips for a spooktacular Hallowgreen...

3.    Halloween Pumpkin
Jack-O-Lantern is to Halloween what Old St. Nick is to Christmas. Now I’m not too sure about its origins but I’ve always been told it’s got to do with that old Irish Folklore about a man named Jack. But I am pretty certain that the pumpkin carving affair is an American one because pumpkins aren’t native to the UK.  So if you’re carving your own ...

I’m sure this is a controversial issue but I have a question and a fair one at that. If ‘junk food’ is sinfully bad for us then is ‘organic junk food’ any better? I mean to borrow a line from the immortal princess of tragic romance, Juliet Capulet, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet."

So technically junk food is still junk food no matter what we call it right? The formal definition of junk food is food that is high in calorie content (calorie laden)but low in its nutritional value or alternatively it could be referring ...

I love my furkids to itsy little pieces so in all honesty I pamper them. I give them the best that I can afford and I rarely ever know how to give them a firm ‘NO’ for an answer. Whether it’s with one of the sprightly dogs, the cuddly rabbit or the munchkin hamsters, it’s the same -I am always ‘weak’ and I just can’t ever find myself denying them a treat (don’t worry despite my shortcomings, my pets are not in the slightest overweight or under-exercised).

Just where is this senseless rambling leading ...

How many times have you heard the phrase”Eat/Finish your greens/vegetables?”  It doesn’t really matter where or when you heard it because frankly I think it is a very common one – one that the little ones have to hear/be reminded off constantly (some kids hear it every day over dinner)! But how many times have you heard someone go “eat your sea veges/ sea greens!”  Well I say not often enough.

Sea greens or sea vegetables are just fancy names for the greens that grow in ...

Traditionally, the harvesting process is with least harm intended on the birds. The first harvest is carried out when the birds build their first nest. Harvesters will harvest these nest before there are any eggs laid; the poor bird will rebuild its nest (known as the second nest) but that’s as much heartache as they suffer.

The second harvest is performed after the fledglings leaves the second nest. So basically the birds are fine.

But I said ‘traditionally’. Obviously with growing ...
