mitzu62 That sounds good! I love cabbage too. What is "petrozilla"? and "presto"? Or did you mean Pesto (basil, pine nuts). I want to start eating quinoa more regularly because it's so healthy. Great idea having it like you said....thanks for the idea!

For years now, I drink a homemade smoothie every morning. My boyfriend makes them daily for us. Our latest have been mostly citrus fruits and berries. He also started all a tomato every day since tomatoes are an acidy fruit...

mitzu62 Me too....every year I get tons of tomatoes in my garden. This year I was thinking of growing tons of Cherry Tomatoes instead just for the purpose of the smoothis since they are smaller and sweeter....and you get so many on one plant. You don't have to chop...

I'm so excited! We booked our vacation to Holguin, Cuba at the Playa Pesquero resort, just like I wanted. I read so many good things and reviews about that resort. Can't wait to see it. Has anyone ever been there?

mitzu62 No....U.S. citizens aren't allowed to go there. I'm from Canada. We're not even allowed to bring U.S.credit cards. Alot of restrictions .... medical insurance is mandatory too now if you want to go there.

Just wondering how people keep track of all their PTC sites -- for the ones that sign up for alot of them, like me. How do you get referrals for all of them, how much time do you spend on them, etc.

mitzu62 How do you insert banners? I tried and they don't show -- under "add HTML" on my profile. Is it because I'm still new here?

Did you know that just eating one or two Brazil Nuts a day provides you with your daily recommended amount of the mineral selenium. I've been eating one a day for years now.

mitzu62 I usually buy them at the bulk food store...sometimes they're only available around Christmas. Now one of our grocery store carries them in a package, so far, so good at being able to get them regularly.
