Meal Prep Sunday: How Your Kitchen Can Help ·          Plan, plan, plan.  Make a list, figure out what you need, and put time on your schedule to stock up on groceries. ·          Search for recipes that share a main ingredient.  For example, if you find casserole and pasta faves that feature noodles as a main ingredient, it's easy to cook that ingredient all at once. ·          Work your freezer.  The freezer is a meal-prepper's best friend. Choose recipes that can easily double, and freeze the extras for super-busy weeks. ·          Give your fridge an organization makeover.  Designate a dinner-prep spot for chopped-up ingredients, storage containers, and extras. Stash things using the front-to-back method: First part of the week goes up front, last part of the week goes in back. ·          Mark it up.  The worst thing is forgetting the day or the recipe of that cute, stackable container in the fridge.

10/19/17 Shared from our friends at Simmon's Beautyrest The seasons are changing! In addition to back-to-school prep, wardrobe changes and falling  leaves, autumn, like other seasons, has an effect 1  on your sleep performance. Whether you realize it or not, part of gearing up for the fall months means considering what you can do to maintain optimal sleep performance amidst the changing seasons. LIGHT'S EFFECT ON MELATONIN The shorter days of fall and winter mean less sunlight, which directly impacts melatonin production. 2  This is a key sleep hormone that affects you throughout the day. In fact, increased darkness and associated melatonin levels are directly related to the sluggishness or tired feelings many people report in the winter. Lack of sunlight exposure also means you get less vitamin D. This impacts your mood as well because vitamin D levels directly affect serotonin production. Serotonin is the hormone responsible for feelings of joy, and low leve

With school back in session, the lazy summer days are over, and our schedules are jam-packed with activities. That’s why we’re always looking to save time and make our lives a little easier. These are some of our favorite shortcuts in the kitchen to help us do just that. Cool Drinks Faster :  Add your drinks to a cooler or bucket, and pour ice over your drinks. Add some cold water and spin it a bit if you’re really in a hurry. Then, add more ice and top it all with course salt. Prevent Brown Sugar from Hardening :  Placing a few marshmallows into your sealed brown sugar container will help prevent your brown sugar from hardening. Peel Garlic Quickly & Easily :  To quickly and easily peel garlic, remove your cloves from the bulb, and place them in a bowl. Top that bowl with another bowl, and SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE! When you’re finished, the garlic cloves and the skin should be separated. Grate Fresh Mozzarella:  Fresh mozzarella is delicious but hard to grat

10/12/17 Shared from our friends at England Furniture . When you’re refreshing your home, try to pick up some trends to incorporate into the new look. Today’s home trends are less modern and more traditional, so you won’t be stuck with something you won’t like in a few years. Here are some great home trends: Exposed Wood and Brick This element can make a space look more true to its architectural roots. Exposed elements like wood and brick are reminiscent of a farmhouse vibe, but they can also look upscale when accessorized with other more modern elements. Contrasting Crown Molding This trick actually makes your room look bigger. Thick white crown molding contrasting with a darker color, like gray, are an interior designer’s go-to look. Furniture can pick up on the gray in the wall, as featured in this photo.  This  England Furniture  piece, the EZ Motion Reclining Sofa with Nails EZ1C01N is perfect for a space that needs a little improvement.
