I love new sheets!  Bed, Bath, and Beyond has Wamsutta PimaCott 500 Thread Count sheet Set.  They come in a variety of colors. They are soft and feel great.   Texture and pattern is a matter of personal preference, and these sheets are a winner! The pima cotton fabric is DNA tested to ensure that the fiber you’ve paid for is there. Strong and pill-resistant, theses sheets also were given a top performance rating from Good Housekeeping Lab evaluations.  Prices start at $60.

Weight Watcher’s recipe. 

Health advocates say they add Chia seeds to oatmeal, salads, yogurt, and even pizza!  They say it really improves their hair and nails.  And, they are packed with nutrients. 

Last week, I gave you my sister-in law’s famous Chia pudding recipe.  These little Chia seeds are catching on!    Health Magazine, 2018 

 This is a recipe I used to make with my fifth- grade class. We would make these pops in the morning and have a nice relaxing cool snack in the afternoon.  They are low in calories, healthy and inexpensive  (for a classroom of kids, I would make many “batches” of this recipe. *See below).

        2 cups bite-sized pieces fruit, such as pineapple, chunks, diced mango, grapes and all kinds of berries.  1-2 cups coconut water.

        Arrange pieces of fruit in 4-6 oz. paper cups, making sure the fruit pieces fit snuggly.  Add enough of the coconut water to just cover the fruit.

        Insert ice-pop sticks and freeze until solid, at least 5-6 hours.  This recipe makes 8 pops.  *So, if you have a class of 32 kids, then you would increase the ingredients 4 times: 4-8 cups coconut water, and 8 cups of mixed fruit. Very cool, healthy, and delicious, and it won’t spoil supper!
