Young &Smylie

I have found a fantastic licorice...it's even better if you chase it with a few dry roasted peanuts. It is Young &Smylie brand licorice. It is made with real licorice root, which is 5 times sweeter than sugar. Unfortunately, the #1 ingredient is still corn syrup!! That upsets me a bit, however, it is very, very, tasty, and I recommend it highly. It can be found at Target. Also, in a previous post I had mentioned the possibility of posting a Pear Cobbler recipe..I made it, I tried it, and it is nothing to write home about, sorry! I realize this entire post is about food and such, but I have one more tip that I recieved from my health conscious, smart, stylin, yoga doin', neighbor friend. If you are down cast and heavy laden about the price of organic foods...at least buy hormone free, organic milk. Sometimes you just have to buck up and do the right thing for your body and the bodies of your children who are 100% reliant on you to help them make good and healthy choices regarding their overall nutritional well being.
