Save Your Relationship Save A Pet - Locker's Florist Fundraising ForMADACC

-
That day is coming in just over a week, the day your entire relationship could be judged on your actions - Valentine's Day. As men what we do on February 14th can make or break our happiness for weeks or months, so we have to make the right choice of what to do or not do. Luckily there is one sure fire way to five a good gift - give one that means something. That may sound harder than it is, of course it should mean something to the other person, but as long as it has meaning it will be sure to pluck the strings of their heart.



I wrote previously on making heart-healthy choices for the dinner, but there's still the prospect of a gift. There are many choices and in the end one of the most popular is simply giving flowers. But a simple and typical choice doesn't have to be mundane. You can amp it up if the gift means something, and for the animal lover in your life there is a great option.

Locker's Florist is offering a unique fund raising program online benefit to three different organizations: Friends of MADACC is one of them. Friends of MADACC (Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting community awareness and improving the welfare of the nearly 13,000 homeless animals MADACC cares for every year.

If your significant other isn't an animal lover you can also select ALS Association of WI or Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. To donate to the chosen organization select the product you would like to send, and on the final page of check out be sure to select "This is for a fundraising effort" check box at the bottom of the page and choose one of the three so they receive $2 from every purchase!

There are many other ways to give when you gift, so if these options aren't appealing take the little bit of effort to look for other options. We wrote about many back in December for the holidays, check out that story for some other ideas.

No Festivals That Cancel Aren't Taking Away Your Freedom

-

A photo of the street festival I organize.  We saw them all last year, and they are cropping up again this year. Festivals small and large cancelling. A common reaction, at least in social media announcement post comments is something like this: "Why don't you just have the festivals? If people want to go, they will go." Is it that simple? Just hold the festival and let however many people are comfortable going show up? Of course it's not. But people with this reaction won't even take a minute to ponder the consequences, and not from a public health standpoint but to the festival itself. They have no idea what it takes to put one on and what is involved and what you can lose if you even have only 75%, let alone 50% or less attendance. Or if they even have the capability to put it on still.  Let's take a quick, very quick, look at what goes into making this decision.

Poaching chicken (sous vide as well) is a great way to do some prep work to save time later, while adding flavor at the same time. I whipped up this recipe with tons of flavor using limited ingredients. It could be seen as a Clean Eating recipe, but it was created to be a Low Residue meal for prep day for a colonoscopy, following all the rules, which also works for people with IBD or similar digestive issues.

Nutritional Yeast Is My Fregan Recipe Secret Weapon (Mushroom Onion Casserole Recipe)

-

In my quest to east healthier and give up certain things as a flexitarian (or as I just made up: Fregan), I have developed an arsenal of special ingredients like smoke salt, onion and pepper water (from their jars); none are as useful and versatile as nutritional yeast. Sometimes mistakenly called brewer's yeast, nutritional yeast is known mostly as a popcorn topping, or to vegetarians and especially vegans as a cheese substitute, but it has so many more uses.  I used to in three ways in one recipe I just created that is both vegan and gluten-free: Mushroom Onion Casserole with Crispy Tofu.
