The summer sun is already crankin' up the heat...which means your grill should be too!

If you've never loaded up your grill with loads of veggies, you have no idea what sensory stimulation overload you're missing out on!

On Sunday my wife, a friend, and I grilled an AWESOME sunny weekend vegetarian lunch (pictured at right)...including a sweet potato salad recipe that you absolutely MUST try!

Memorial Day weekend is knocking at the door and I can already hear the sizzle of all those grills.

If you are indeed going to throw some tasty treats on the grill this weekend, be sure to grill it green!

Did you know that there are a few easy steps you can take to not only green your grilling habits, but also make you the star grill master (or mistress) of your block?

Let me share some with you.

"Oh crap! We were supposed to bring something to that Christmas party!"

Ever said those words before?

Don't get caught with your pants down at this year's party.

These Oreo (actually they're Newman's Own brand "Newman-O's") Truffles are super easy and quick to fix.

The best part...all your vegetarian friends can enjoy them too--and boy are they enjoyable!

Maybe too enjoyable!

If you've ever really paid attention to what a bottle of laundry detergent or window cleaner costs, you know that overall consumers are spending big money for cleaning products these days.

Greening your cleaning habits is an awesome step, but what if you could make your own cleaning products for pennies, rather than purchasing over-the-top priced cleaning items? As if saving money isn't enough to make you stand up and take notice, how about this:

Making your own cleaning products from natural products you may already have around your home is uber environmentally friendly!

That's right, making your own cleaning products can save you money and be part of your plan to live a greener lifestyle. What's more, they actually work!

Humans aren't the only ones who need good quality organic food to keep us healthy and strong.

Dogs do too!

Always use caution when acting as your pooch's personal chef, because lots of things yummy to us people are toxic to our four-legged friends.

No need to worry about that with this recipe, however, these frozen organic doggie treats will definitely please the pooches as the temperature rises.
