Yummy Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Ooey, gooey, yummy cinnamon rolls! They’re a favorite here in our house. Several years ago, I started teaching my kids to make them and before that having them help me. They love being in the kitchen and these are really easy to make – as the girl loves surprising me with them! Sometimes we change things up (for the filling) or will do a half and half alternative if we’re running low on milk or sugar. We’ve even used packaged (boxed) bread mix, only if they call for water we will use milk or half water and half milk. Hey, you do what you have to do when you want cinnamon…

NOW Rises Up and Above their Competitors
When I came back to the states from living abroad in Japan many years ago, I was introduced to the Natural Products Industry due to some health issues I was having. The only person who had any real answers for me was a nutritionist I met while working for a Japanese Natural Products Company in Los Angeles. Through supplement and diet recommendations, he was able to help me when no one else had a game plan for me. Since then, I have been on a journey of learning as much about nutrition and health as I can. It is always changing and technology allows us to make breakthroughs all the…

Today, July 17th, is National Ice Cream Day and I wanted to find out more about this delicious treat that so many of us enjoy!
