Chocolate for Food Allergy Sufferers

Enjoy Life Foods has been a serious Godsend for our more
Getting Healthier in 2011 – November Health Goals
Since writing my October health goal wrap-up yesterday, I’ve been racking my brain trying to decide what my health goals for November should be. I don’t want to cut myself too much slack, but I also don’t want to over-do it. That could easily happen with Thanksgiving coming up…not to mention my 30th birthday. Yeah, more
Getting Healthier in 2011 – My Health in September
Sooo…last month I was lazy. I did my August health goal wrap-up, but never came up with September health goals.

The point of this blog – Always Sick & Tired – is all about getting healthier.

Wal-Mart Thinks People With Food Allergies are Stupid
I like my coffee a certain way. While I was out of town, I tried half & half in my coffee for the first time, and it turned out really yummy. So I bought some…the cheapest I could find at Wal-Mart. Friggin Wal-Mart. Okay, I personally have nothing against Wal-Mart except for their GREAT VALUE more
I’m Allergic to Everything – MTV True Life Episode on Food Allergies
Two kids with food allergies, Raelyn, age 17, and Zeke, age 16. When we think about food allergies, we think about the little boy who can’t eat peanut butter, or the little girl who can’t drink milk or eat macaroni and cheese. What we don’t think about are the rare instances that people don’t know more
