Fascinating Fact: Our biological fruit the Tomato was legally declared a vegetable? Yes, for tax import reasons US Supreme Court passed a 1833 law dictating tomato a vegetable to support import tariffs.  

Bulging Budgets
  • When shopping review lower grocery store shelves first. Highest profit items display at mid height and and above.
  • Save using dried flavor-Convert from fresh herbs to dried? General rule: 1 tsp. of dried for 2 tsp. fresh herbs.
  • Before you buy something, ask if the item will be put on sale in the near future.
  • Don’t pay for extended warranties. 80% are never used making them a major profit item for the seller.
  • If you take a prescription medication on a regular basis, ask your doctor to write a 3 month prescription. Instead of costing you 3 co-pays, you only pay 1.
  • If your doctor gives you a prescription, ask if there are samples there that can be given to you.
  • Local park playgrounds make great workout stations. Monkey bars are perfect for pull-ups & leg lifts. Many parks also have trail you can run on. High school are perfect too.
  • To Your Good Health
    CELERY (Apium graveolens) used crunched, choped, or its seeds, delivers amazing health benefits. Juice of celery make an excellent diuretic drink that promote urine flow through the kidneys. Celery also has a calming effect on the digestive system, relieves gas and often other forms of indigestion. It’s reported to be helpful in reducing effects of  rheumatism and gout. What all else it does we don't know but are sure its good for the digestion system and reduced appetite. Fiber, total dietary 1.0 g

    Season To Taste...
    Is It Spice Or Herb?
    Definitions of Spices and Herbs have changed over centuries.

    American Spice Trade Association states that today spices are known as ‘Any dried plant product used primarily for seasoning." Their all-inclusive definition cover a range of plants including what we know as herbs, seeds or even dehydrated vegetable blends.

    When used to enhance taste or fragrance "Spice" and "Herb" terms are both used to describe plant parts.

    Herbs however primarily preserve food, heal wounds, cure illnesses, even augment cosmetics.

    Both Spices and Herbs can come from seeds, leaves, flowers, plant stems or tree bark. Spices for fragrance usually come from more aromatic plants such as pepper, cloves, ginger, cinnamon. Most grow in tropical or subtropical regions while herbs are often recognized as greener, leafy food sources like thyme, mint, rosemary from temperate areas.

    Hunger Hurts

    14.2 million Americans go hungry each day
    1 out of every five children depend on Food Banks.
    8% of all families struggle to put enough food on the table.

    We need your good ideas. DOD's goal are to assist the many people struggling in today's economy.

    As we continue to do what we can, we need you to help when you can.

            Thank you.
