Easy Pleasing Healthy Meatloaf Recipe

Surprise them all with a meatloaf they will love with a surprising healthy twist.  By substituting bread/bread crumbs with old fashioned oats I am able to give my family all of the many health advantages that come with it without sacrificing flavor. I use extra lean ground beef to cut out the much of the fat. Olive oil is used in place of vegetable oil for a better way to sauté, and by using low fat milk instead of whole milk I get the nutritional value and less of the fat!

An Exotic Tropical Fruit, the Rambutan

 I remember the first time I seen this exotic fruit I was young and very curious.  To me it resembled some wild sea life that you would find in the ocean!



Soy milk - Soy what about it

What is the only plant-based protein with all the essential amino acids?  Give up?  Well  soy you silly goose!


You can actually get a nutritional punch like POW with one healthy dose from this small super bean!  I first started buying soy after one of my visits at my sisters house a couple of year back.  We had a discussion about milk and how her kids were lactose intolerant and so she was using soy milk instead.


My youngest son tasted it and really liked the vanilla flavored soy milk, so I thought lets try it.  It was a hit so in addition to buying milk when I go shopping I buy soy milk.  The cost is a bit more than milk but when I read the label I am pleasantly surprised to see the health and nutrition in it and I will buy it for that reason alone.


In just one glass of soy milk you will find a protein, fiber and omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid packed drink that is low in the saturated fat and cholesterol free!  When you drink a glass of milk and it is slightly warm like it has been sitting out for 15 minutes you get this after taste, not with soy milk it is brand new to me every time!  It's delicious to, don't try to think of it the same as regular milk, it tastes nothing like it, instead think of it of its own separate entity.  Oh and did I mention this wonderful drink is rich in the very necessary bone-building  calcium, zinc magnesium and iron? 

Give it a try maybe you are cautious if so do it in baby steps, instead of milk in your coffee try pouring some soy milk in, and then graduate to one whole glass, trust me it's a good thing!  They have many flavors available for which ever kind your liking may be.   

Swag Bucks

I have added a Swag bucks widget as well as a Swag buck banner to my blog.  A widget is a graphic type of computer interface element.  I have done some reading and decided to give Swag bucks.com a shot.  Having a blog I spend some time on the Internet undergoing much searching whether I am shopping or researching how to’s, looking for blogging tips, anything I need to know, and I can use the widget to earn sb's at the same time! 

So being the thinker that I try to be, why not get paid to search?   Just before Thanksgiving I joined Swag bucks for free imagine that! I have already received over 100 sb's (swag bucks), not to bad if I do say so myself!  It has been simple to use for me which is great, anyone can use it. 

Simply go to my Swag Bucks widget on my blog and click on sign up and begin using it to conduct your search the way you normally do, and where ever the Internet should take you, earn swag bucks!  You can also go to swagbucks.com sign-up  It is pretty neat you can turn your sb’s in for gift certificates, I receive at least 9 sb’s every day that I have used it so far.
