Do you ever find your rice is just bland and boring?
A simple way to flavour it is add stock instead of water when cooking it. I use chicken stock or beef stock instead of water (but you could use vegetable stock, or soup).

honibe Pure Honey Joy #Review
Honibe is a Canadian company that specializes in an all natural honey products. They are from Prince Edward Island, Canada. They offer Honey Drop, the world's first pure, non-sticky honey that you can hold in your hand! Honey Delight the world's first pure honey candy, Honey Sprinkles the world's first pure granular honey for desserts and baking, as well as, the world's first pure Honey Lozenge with natural therapeutic ingredients!
As this is cold and flu season we were sent the honey lozenges and honey lozenge with lemon. I like they are all natural. The ingredients in the honey ones are: honey. And the honey lemon ones? Yup! You guessed it. Honey and Lemon. When I was little my parents gave me that a lot to drink. I like that it says 5+ on it. Which means it is safe for the kids. It says for younger kids to ask the doctor. I think in our house our biggest concern would be the younger 2 not understanding and choking on them by trying to swallow them. You are supposed to suck and dissolve it of course.
I do have to admit, I found they worked very well, although I wasn't big on the honey lemon flavour. Although I am not a big fan of honey lemon when I mix them together anyways. But if they are affective, I can deal with the flavour, which I am just picky on. My friend Amanda from Multi-Testing Mommy enjoyed hers!
Foodie February: allrecipes.com app
As you may know, I dislike cooking, and coming up with a dinner is my most despised daily chore. I never can think of what to make. More times than I care to admit, I just sit there trying to think of something until it's time to eat. This then forces us to either get take out, or hubby has to make some bbq.
One thing that I find helps, when I use it, is an app I found for iPhone, and Ipad. It's called Allrecipes.com Dinner Spinner Pro. Just to make it clear, I have no affiliation with this app or company, I just use it and wanted to share it with you.
The first thing you can do is choose the spinner feature: I love that I can choose the type of dish like main dish, breakfast, dessert, etc. Then choose the ingredient you want to use. Sometimes I know I want to make a fish or chicken dish, but can't think of what to do with it. Then I can choose the time I have to spend making it. If I think of it early enough I can choose a longer time, vs if it's 4:30 and I am starting to panic.
Next feature I use a lot is the search feature. Every once in a while I will think of a dish I would like to make, but am not sure how to do it or if I have the ingredients. So I can search through their listings of recipes (which can be updated all the time by people adding their own!). I can look through the recipe to see if I like it or if I have the ingredients. I can than mark it as a favourite.
I really appreciate this tool, and need to use it much more often. Because it is on my phone or ipad, I can have it beside me while I cook :)

Thoughtful Thursday: Encouraging Thought
Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit awhile, put down the needles, write awhile, then take up the sock again.
