Do You Eat Saltines in Bed?

The next time you have an upset stomach or a late-night cracker craving, avoid the traditional brands that are filled with hydrogenated oils. Instead, reach for a healthier alternative, such as Late July organic crackers. They have a classic saltine and a Ritz-like cracker. Both varieties are very delicious!

Late July is sold at Whole Foods and some Publix stores. You can also click HERE to buy them in bulk at Amazon. If you buy a pack of 12 boxes, it works out to $2.50 a box.

This post is for my loved one (you know who you are) who can't go to sleep without her nightly snack of saltines. Love ya, babe!

MP3 Player for Small Children $39.99

You can get a great deal on a SweetPea at ThinkGeek right now. It's marked down to $49.99 (regular price $59.99). Get an additional $10 off by using the code SWEETGEEKS.

A SweetPea is an MP3 player for children 0 to 6. My boys each got a SweetPea for Christmas from their grandparents. So far, they love it and we are very pleased with the quality. The SweetPea allows you to download any type of music or stories you like so that your children can safely listen at their leisure. It's non-toxic, made from food-grade rubber, only requires one AA battery, and is durable enough to withstand the rough treatment of a small child.

Although it's a bit slow to respond, my four-year-old can work it fairly easily. He has learned to play his favorite song over, and over, and over, and over. My two-year-old enjoys listening with his brother, but isn't very interested in pressing the buttons. Here is a picture of my two boys enjoying music time.















It's hard to tell how the SweetPeas will hold up long-term, but it feels a lot more sturdy than the Playskool Made for Me MP3 Music Player. This was a very popular toy in our house until it suddenly stopped working when we'd had it about a year. Given that the toy cost about $75, this seemed a little unreasonable. After reading online reviews, I realized this was a common problem. One positive thing I can say for Playskool is that they sent me a very nice replacement toy when I called the warranty line.

Another advantage the SweetPea has over the Playskool player is that the manufacturer appears to provide great technical support via Facebook and the Sweet Pea website. Of course, there is also a warranty. Plus, the SweetPea is compatible with the Mac and PC, whereas the Playskool player is PC only.

Thank you to Dealafina for alerting me to this discount! Dealafina has a lot of great things to say about ThinkGeek. If you aren't in the market for a SweetPea, you can use the SWEETGEEKS code for any order greater than $40.

Good Deals on Steaz Organic Drinks

I posted a few weeks back about how to get a free sample of Steaz drinks. Since then, I've tried the teas and sparkling green tea beverages. They are both delicious! I especially love the peach flavored ice tea. It's a great alternative to traditional sodas. The drinks are brewed fresh with sustainably-sourced, fair trade organic green tea and sweetened with stevia. They contain no sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Here are some coupons and deals you can get on Steaz:

• Click HERE to go to the Steaz website for a FREE sample

The Cancer-Fighting Cauliflower

Click HERE for an interesting article about the cancer-fighting properties of cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage. It's important to note that you get the most benefit when they are eaten raw.

I got a lovely little organic cauliflower with my Sweetwater harvest the other day. In hindsight, I wish I had eaten it raw to get the full cancer-fighting benefits. However, I made this very delicious cauliflower n' cheese. It's a much healthier alternative to mac n' cheese. I actually prefer the taste and texture of the cauliflower to pasta. Here's how I made it:

1) lightly steam the cauliflower
2) in a saucepan, melt a few teaspoons of butter, cheese and milk
3) pour the sauce over the steamed cauliflower and put in the oven until golden brown
