Happy New Year!
After all the festivities have calmed, the fireworks next door have failed to burn your house down, and you can finally see straight after too much champagne you notice there’s still some left over. So wastefull to throw it out…you could make a mimosa…but OJ is quite a bit of sugar that you really don’t need…
Turns out it’s great for all kinds of fantastic sea food dishes! Champagne is just really bubbly white wine, so it works great in place of white wine in any recipe. Here are some great ideas for using that leftover champagne in recipes that won’t bust your new year’s resolution and will set 2012 on the right track!

Make It Low-Carb Monday: Dairy-Free, Grain-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
Campbells Cream of Mushroom Soup has long been a staple in many of my recipes. When I started a low-carb lifestyle I turned to a low-carb cream of mushroom bacon soup from my pal Jaimie over at The Lighter Side of Low-Carb. Now that I’ve discovered I’m allergic to dairy I’ve set out on a mission for a new recipe that complies with my food allergies and just in time for Thanksgiving. I don’t think the man-friend could live through Turkey Day without his beloved green bean casserole!
I’ve chosen to sub the cream and half and half that most cream of mushroom soup recipes call for with unsweetened almond milk. This came out pretty great, so I think any milk substitute would work in this recipe. I also chose to use the crock-pot here since this is an ingredient that I use in other recipes. I need to be able to scale it easily to make large batches for canning and it’s just plain easier to throw it all in the pot and let it cook so I can make this any time.
Here’s what I came up with…
Exercise And Sleeping Better
The amount of physical exercise that you exert during the day is one of the key ingredients to helping you get a good sleep at night. The more active your body is during the day, the more likely you are to relax at night and fall asleep faster.
With regular exercise you’ll notice that your quality of sleep is improved and the transition between the cycles and phases of sleep will become smoother and more regular. By keeping up your physical activity during the day, you may find it easier to deal with the stress and worries of your life.
Research and studies indicate that there is a direct correlation between how much we exercise and how we feel afterwards.
Happy Halloween!
