Do you know that shopping online is a way to go green and save money?
By shopping online we don’t have to drive to the stores so we don’t waste money in gas and we reduce the carbon dioxide emissions. Nowadays we can buy everything online; from food to jewelery, from a car to a computer external hard drive, from a t-shirt to a mug. Shopping online is free, safe, time saving, environment friendly and pocket friendly.
We already have cherries being sold all over the place: markets, supermarkets, on the streets, on our way to the coast, etc. Some cherries are just so red and big that we just want to stop, buy and eat them. I usually eat simple cherries but I also like to put them in fruit salad and to decorate desserts.
Today I bring here a classic, an old but always update recipe.

I found this recipe by Donna Diegel at Suite101.
Who said you need Lipovox or other diets, using fresh fruit is always a healthy way to eat and stay fit.
Many people who have gardens at home have no idea that they can avoid chemicals by recycling the organic waste that comes from their gardens. Waste like leaves, grass clippings and weeds can be used to make a rich organic compost instead of polluting landfill.
All the organic waste people sent to the garbage can be an excellent supplement for your garden. Some people still use the older technique of the compost heap but now there are available in the market composters of several shapes and sizes that match your garden.
Choose the composter you think will be better for the size of the garden you have. Find the right spot for it. Now you have to start to fill it with the organic waste from your garden and kitchen. What can we use to make our compost?
Brown organic waste:
Green organic waste:
Always alternate a layer of greens with a layer of browns. The top layer should be always a brown one.
If your composter starts smelling or you see a lot of insects when you open it, it means you need to put more browns on top. Mix the organic waste at least once a week to allow venting and water it.
It’s very easy to keep a composter at home and for me it was a surprise to realize the amount of organic waste we produce.
Everyone is aware that we must protect the planet we live in otherwise future generations will be in big trouble.

Strawberries are a very easy fruit to grow at home and they contain important nutrients that help in the prevention and fight of certain diseases.
Strawberries are rich in fructose, sucrose, vitamin C, sodium, potassium and calcium. They contain basic mineral, citric and malic acid that help in the iron absorption. They also contain salicylic acid that helps to fight cancer.
Among the benefits of strawberries we have:
