Are You Ready For Health?

You are! You are for sure!!!

We all know that creating a super powered community around healthy living is the surest way to:

1. Make it stick
2. Make it fun

I love that this one made it into the top five posts. There is a very great lesson in this recipe and that is, don’t be afraid to play around and experiment. This recipe was created by a massive amount of rice I had leftover from a class and has turned into many people’s favourite crackers. Don’t ever throw out extra food, there is always something yummy that can be done with it, and if it doesn’t turn out- at least you had some play time anyway.

Do you know what spermicide is? I mean, I assume you know that it can be squirted up into the nethers and that you can also buy condoms laced in this sperm-killing serum, but do you actually know what is in it? I know you are now wondering, so allow me to explain.
