can be used in any recipe which calls for instant coffee
Dandy Blend instant dandelion beverage is the only herbal coffee substitute in the United States that features both the health benefits of dandelion and the rich, full-bodied flavor, smoothness and texture of real coffee. Many say that, because it lacks bitterness and acidity, it actually tastes better than coffee.
A Most Versatile Beverage
One level teaspoon in eight ounces of water makes a delightful dandelion tea. A rounded teaspoon makes a beverage very similar to a full-bodied cup of instant coffee, and a heaping teaspoon to a full tablespoon makes an exquisite espresso-style beverage. It is so versatile that any type of gourmet coffee beverage made from it is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing, and it can be used in any recipe requiring coffee as an ingredient. Dandy Blend tastes great served iced or hot, and dissolves instantly in both hot or cold liquids. This delicious herbal coffee is especially good made with milk or dairy alternatives and your favorite flavorings. Those using it to wean themselves from coffee report that the transition is seamless– no headaches, upset stomachs, jitters or other symptoms of withdrawal.
The Constituents
Dandy Blend is made from the totally water-soluble extracts of three roasted herb roots: dandelion, chicory and sugar beet- and two roasted grains – barley and rye. Nothing other than extracts of the three roasted roots and two roasted grains is in Dandy Blend. It is naturally sweetened by the fructose released from the breakdown of the storage starch inulin when the dandelion and chicory roots are roasted. Because all sweetening comes from substances in the roots, Dandy Blend is a low carbohydrate beverage, with only 1 gram of carbohydrate per cup. All ingredients have been chosen because of the health benefits historically associated with them. Every cup contains 630 mg. of dandelion and chicory extract.
In Dandy Blend, you are getting the best of all worlds! Nothing compares with it in flavor, ease of use, and health-promoting effectiveness. Try it, you'll like it!
I am without coffee and sugar now for a week and a half and so far I've hated every day of it. I've had migraines a good week into the cleanse and am still feeling tired and bitchy every afternoon. I'm happy that I kicked the coffee and sugar habit (mine was minimal, though!), but I am not feeling my best YET!
Along with Gemmos, Undas and Blue Heron I have to drink 4 cups of a special Herbal Tea blend starting the second week... If I don't feel good after doing THIS for 21 days, then I just don't know...
We miss them already! Driving back from Golden into Calgary - frustrating! Leaving the se beauties behind gets harder every year... but we made it through and landed safely in the flat Midwest!
We had a scary day on Tuesday, when L. fainted on the cat track and was unconscious for a couple of minutes. We are still not quite sure why she just lost it, but she seems to be fine and she was on the board again the next day. Maybe she didn't eat enough that morning - that's our guess! On Tuesday it was sunny and gorgeous, but still cold. I got to ski one round and then spent my day at the hospital, where they monitored L. In the evening we met with A. and Si. at Eleven22.
I got to spend my Wednesday with J. He is such a nice guy, but I think he pushed me a little too far. My legs hurt like crazy after he day was over (fear=leaning back=sore legs). so I was happy that I had St. all day Thursday, half day today and tomorrow morning I'll also meet up with him. I was very comfortable with St. and am thinking of skiing with him ONLY! I did moguls today - not perfect, but I wasn't scared shitless! Actually, although I fell a couple of times, it wasn't bad at all. So, St. is a safe bet for lessons! Plus, my legs are not killing me!
We are supposed to be at A.'s house in 3 minutes, but due to connection failures, I can neither get a hold of him, nor P. So I'm hoping he is not cooking up a big meal and we are a no-show... :(
I'll post some pics later, since there is something wrong with the USB drive of the laptop.
So, we got to Golden, BC on Sunday evening and had a great dinner at the Corks with our friend A. Unfortunately Si. didn't make it ( he wasn't feeling so well... he had to celebrate a successful racing day ;). But we saw Si. last night, again at Corks.
It was -17*C on the bottom yesterday, and very foggy. On the top it was nice though, so I heard - I haven't made it all the way up yet. But today it is gorgeous and sunny down here. Am not sure how cold it is though. I'll go up with St. today and will see how it is myself!
Here is the view from my bedroom window (yesterday):
I just wrote a list with things to pack for my skiing vacation and noticed, that my toiletries outweigh all clothes and shoes I'm going to take with me (even ski gear!). This is what I wrote down so far:
... waiting for our doors to be delivered. My sweet Lili is relaxing in front of the (old) door, enjoying her morning without the boys (who are with hubby at the vet's). I am eating Muesli with Blueberries and Strawberry Yogurt and drinking a cup of Mate Tea. Yum!
Today, I opened my windows to let the mild air come in and fill my house and I found more Spring flowers and yellow pots. And I found sun flowers! They look really good in our "Bling" water bottles (we splurged on at Christmas dinner!). Spring 'N Bling, baby!
Hier bin ich gebor'n und laufe durch die Straßen! Kenn die Gesichter, jedes Haus und jeden Laden! Ich muss mal weg, kenn jede Taube hier beim Namen. Daumen raus ich warte auf 'ne schicke Frau mit schnellem Wagen. Die Sonne blendet alles fliegt vorbei. Und die Welt hinter mir wird langsam klein. Doch die Welt vor mir ist für mich gemacht! Ich weiß sie wartet und ich hol sie ab! Ich hab den Tag auf meiner Seite ich hab Rückenwind! Ein Frauenchor am Straßenrand der für mich singt! Ich lehne mich zurück und guck ins tiefe Blau, schließ die Augen und lauf einfach gradeaus.
Und am Ende der Strasse steht ein Haus am See. Orangenbaumblätter liegen auf dem Weg. Ich hab 20 Kinder meine Frau ist schön. Alle kommen vorbei ich brauch nie rauszugehen.
Im Traum gesehen, das Haus am See
Ich suche neues Land Mit unbekannten Strassen, fremden Gesichtern und keiner kennt meinen Namen! Alles gewinnen beim Spiel mit gezinkten Karten. Alles verlieren, Gott zeigt seinen harten linken Haken. Ich grabe Schätze aus im Schnee und Sand. Und Frauen rauben mir jeden Verstand! Doch irgendwann werd ich vom Glück verfolgt. Und komm zurück mit beiden Taschen voll Gold. Ich lad' die alten Vögel und Verwandten ein. Und alle fang'n vor Freude an zu weinen. Wir grillen, die Mamas kochen und wir saufen Schnaps. Und feiern eine Woche jede Nacht.
Und der Mond scheint hell auf mein Haus am See. Organgenbaumblätter liegen auf dem Weg. Ich hab 20 Kinder meine Frau ist schön. Alle kommen vorbei ich brauch nie rauszugehen.
Im Traum gesehen, das Haus am See
Und am Ende der Strasse steht ein Haus am See. Organgenbaumblätter liegen auf dem Weg. Ich hab 20 Kinder meine Frau ist schön. Alle kommen vorbei ich brauch nie rauszugehen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hier bin ich gebor'n, hier werd ich begraben. Hab taube Ohr'n, nen weißen Bart und sitz im Garten. Meine 100 Enkel spielen Cricket auf'm Rasen. Wenn ich so daran denke kann ich's eigentlich kaum erwarten.
This morning I found this ring on Etsy.com. It's made by Adorn Jewely. Now, isn't that creative?! The description reads:
"A little clump of faux moss has been planted into this faux stone. Easy to care for as this moss has no need for sunlight or water!"
Set in Stone, Moss Ring
Specifications: The faux stone has been shaped out of polymer clay to resemble a basalt pebble and set into the silver plated ring. A tiny tuft of faux moss springs forth from a sterling bezel cup within the clay. The moss is made of latex sprouts backed with foam.
The ring itself is approximately 22mm in diameter and features a wide band of .25 in. Definitely not your typical adjustable ring; the sturdiness makes it feel like a standard ring with the added bonus of being able to customize it to a snug fit.
am trying out light therapy (with the Philips goLITE BLU Light Therapy Device), because I am always SO TIRED at around 4 pm and never make it to school at 7 pm. i used it on its lowest setting - and was still looking for the dimming button, it was SO bright! i just used it for 20 minutes and now feel a little dizzy.
