Taco Tuesday really exists. It may not always happen on Tuesday, but tacos remain the easiest delivery method for dinner. From tuna with mango pico to barbecue chicken with jalapeño slaw, just wrap it in a corn tortilla, and dinner is done. And, if it happens to happen on a Tuesday, well, that’s what the dank meme is for… something to taco ’bout, right? Got more food memes? This next Call is for you, but the memes don’t have to be about food. I promise…

CALL for ENTRIES: Collaboration

take two & call me after BREAKFAST

Food as medicine has been on my radar for a decade. I appreciate the ability to attempt home remedies through food and supplements. I am not suggesting it is easier, nor am I suggestion it is a solution for all ailments. But, I am intrigued. A family history of arthritis, combined with years of a slight addiction to towering high heels, has resulted in massive joint pain in one of feet. Flair ups are completely manageable with a combination of tart cherries & massive quantities of vitamin C. Drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy is now often treated by mainstream medicine with a ketogenic diet. The collaboration between doctors and nutritionists is inspiring. This Call offers you the opportunity to collaborate with writers. Take a look…

CALL for APPLICANTS: Just Shift

such sweet NECTAR

Pancakes are an uncommon treat at our house. Even the best of store bought syrup shouldn’t be kept as long as the periods between pancake occurrences at our breakfast table. So, my husband now makes our pancake syrup. Someone suggested he substitute agave nectar for the sugar in the recipe. Wow. It isn’t a 1:1 substitution. Agave nectar is much sweeter than honey or refined sugar. I can’t handle it. We’ll stick to the water, sugar, molasses & vanilla standard, thanks. This next Call is just sweet enough to intrigue. Take a look…
