Hi Tawra - just wanted to let you know I’ve really enjoyed joining your website. I was reading your recipes for cobbler and just wanted to add a really easy (cheap) 3 ingredient cobbler. One large can of peaches (undrained), top with a butter pecan cake mix, and pour 1 stick of butter (melted) over the top. Bake and enjoy - the juice from the peaches mixes with the mix and butter and makes a cruchy topping. Thanks again, Tonya W.

Today’s Tips:

Something to think about: Here in our city if you buy bottled water for a family of 4 it costs about $1700 a year. If you use tap water for that same amount of water, it costs $14.

Have you heard the joke that says, “He is such a good salesman that he could sale ice to an Eskimo?” Well, I think some good salesmen got together and said “Let’s see if we can sell water to people who get it for almost free from their tap.” …And it worked. They did it. I don’t know about you but there are an awful lot of things I would like to do with $1700.

Want water that taste as cool and crisp as a mountain stream? Pour your water into a jug and put it in the fridge overnight. All chlorine and chemical taste disappears and the water is delicious.

Thank you, thank you ,thank you!!

Bottled water is the most successful scam ever! We were brainwashed just like the next family , and 1 day I said this is just NUTZ! Why am I “buying” into this crap ? So I just stopped altogether. We have a very nice fridgy that does amazing this with the filter it came with and the water is cold and delicious right out of the dispenser. The crazy thing was , I could not get over having it from a bottle! This is how bad my whole family was brainwashed into this scam . So…. I started out be re-filling the plastic bottles and using those to wean myself back into the habit of good ole tap. And it worked! I re-programed my brain back into accepting the good old cheap water that we already have to pay for. Now , water is a staple at our house - WITHOUT THE PLASTIC BOTTLE!!
America needs to wake up like I did ( and apparently you never feel in this stupid trap , kudos! ) and get with the program. Companies are out to rape our hard earned dollars everyday - we must say NO to this BS and get back on track with reality.
