Pepper-seared Pork Chops with Whiskey Cream Sauce
This pork chops recipe came about as one of those happy accidents in the kitchen, and turned out so well, I can’t wait to make it again. I had wanted to make steak au poivre with brandy cream sauce, but the steak at the grocery store didn’t look so hot and the pork chops were on sale.
GlucoLift Glucose Tablets: The Natural Way to Treat Hypoglycemia
Well, there are two ways to look at our differences. One is to list things, like the fact that we don't use any artificial flavors, or petroleum-derived food dyes, that we use a glucose that dissolves cleanly, without a chalky aftertaste, that we use delicious, natural flavors, or that we use flip-tops instead of plugs or screw caps- those are some of the attributes that makes GlucoLift different, but really it all comes down to the fact that our tablets are designed from the point of view of the end user, not by a big company.

First Impressions of Tandem’s t:slim Insulin Pump
I spent most of my time with the t:slim going through the screens like a kid with a new toy. I felt like I did when I got my first iPhone, and I think one of the best things about the pump was the enthusiastic response I got from people around me. Everyone wanted to see it.
