A Giggle And A Prayer for Louisiana...

Not a lot of giggling going on lately for some folks in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area. Historic floods have displaced a lot of people and their pets! As a fur baby rescuer, I always have my hands full at home.  I often donate soaps, supplies, and money to our Arkansas communities from Giggle Me Green but, now it is time to give a helping hand to our Southern neighbor in need.

I'm not able to send supplies, however I have been checking on ways to help. Listed below are a few disaster relief organizations you also may want to check into. Support with what you are able, check all organizations for reliability, and make sure your donation counts!

1.  Salvation Army National Corp Gulf Coast Flood 2016
2. Humane Society of Louisiana
3. Volunteer Louisiana
4. Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana

And, just in case you have not giggled today...

Have You Giggled Today...

 5 easy steps I have taken for a better quality of life:

1.  Your skin absorbs everything you put on it. Go with au Natural products like Giggle Me Green (Homemade Bath & Beauty) and study about Vitamin D absorption.

2.  Your body needs quality food/fuel ingredients. Choose wisely what you eat. Ask McDonald's how to do this. They have been accused of using poor quality food choices for years and should have lots of what not to do info on the subject.

3.  Breathe in quality air. Choose to live in a 'clean' city. Respiratory disease is on the rise!

4.  Move your body. Regular exercise helps with chronic illnesses which are linked to a sedatary lifestyle. Take a daily walk with a friend or two.

5.  Control your thoughts. Negative thinking is a most destructive path. Play the happy game and choose to be happy about something in all situations. And, remember to have a quality GIGGLE each day!

Have You Giggled Today...

I've got a major trust issue. I'm making my very own doggie treats because I really don't trust the products we have been reading about for years. Those bad treats from China have scared me into baking again. And, my pooches just love these delightful little doggie morsels I call, Gizzard Cookies. This batch makes a lot of cookies so, freeze them and reheat in the microwave as needed!

How to make Gizzard Cookies:

Ingredients:

2 lbs chicken gizzards

4 cups water

1 cup brown or white rice

1 cup quinoa

1 cup low sodium chicken broth (more if needed)

1 (12 ounce) package sweet peas, frozen

1 cup fresh carrots , chopped

1 (16) ounce can cooked chicken breast

1 1/2 cups flour

1 cup cornmeal 

3 tablespoons baking powder

3 eggs

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions:

1.  In a heavy saucepan boil the gizzards in the water for about 30 minutes.

2.  Add the rice, quinoa, broth, peas, carrots, and chicken. Cook uncovered on medium heat for about an hour. Check periodically to add more broth if mixture gets too dry. The mixture should eventually absorb the liquid.

3. After the mixture has cooked to a mushy state, remove from heat and grind  everything nicely, especially the gizzards, with an immersion blender.

4.  Now add flour, cornmeal, baking powder, eggs, and more broth (if needed) to make a thick cookie doughlike batter. Mix well.

5. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes in a 375 degree oven.
