This Peach Ice Cream is naturally dairy-free and can be whipped up in just minutes, when you start with frozen peaches. It’s a quick & refreshing summer treat!

As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, we’ve been sleeping on a new memory foam mattress. I love it! I gotten several questions about it since my last post , so today I thought I’d go into a little more detail. First, I should probably mention that this is my first memory foam mattress. When we shopped for our previous mattress nearly 9 years ago, I wasn’t crazy about the selection of memory foam mattresses at the time… mostly because they smelled so bad....

Studies have shown that chia seeds may help to reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as help to improve glucose intolerance in patients with metabolic syndrome....
