I read an article recently about GMO’s being in a lot of food and they are something to be aware of. GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. When food is processed, the ingredients are often genetically modified making them unfit for human consumption. I’m already careful with what I eat, but this article made me even more concerned about some of the things I thought was healthy. A lot of corn products are unsafe to eat and can cause such illnesses as: infections, gluten allergies,...

One the demonstration counter was a variety of cooking tools including, an electric burner, an electric skillet and a bosch. The bosch was great for mixing the bread. It’s...
In the beginning, certain foods were specified for the human body – In Genesis 1:20 God told Adam, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” (AMP) Man and woman started out following the guidelines and ‘manual’ – if you will, that was presented to them at creation for a little while until Eve decided to try a fruit that God specifically told her not to eat. Since then there has been...
