Healthy Green Home Cleaning
The trend toward greener household products has caused a green explosion in the cleaning aisle of the supermarket. People, concerned about their health, their children’s safety and the environment, want to clean their homes with products that are less toxic, not only to their families, but also to their world.

BBQ Sausage Recipe
Barbecued sausage can be a versatile dish. You can slice the grilled sausage and serve it with pasta and sauted peppers for an Italian-inspired dish or you can place the cooked sausage on a bun as you would a hot dog. Pair the sausage with chunks of pineapple for a dish with a tropical flair or with roasted potatoes for a down-home, meat and potatoes meal. If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the meat in a cast iron skillet or in the oven.
