When spring is approaching, and 70 or 80 degree weather starts to become the norm, it triggers my desire to bring the barbecue grill out. I don’t like using propane, so instead I use charcoal and sometimes I even use lava rocks. What I do not enjoy is having to clean the grill after every use. I also become frustrated when I overcook or under cook certain meats. That has been extremely costly in the past. I found a few products that help rectify these issues, and they’re pretty affordable too.

Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies with Stevia
One of my favorite desserts to enjoy after a long day is a chewy homemade chocolate chip cookie. Yet, as I get older I find myself wanting to lessen the amount of refined white sugar that I consume in my homemade baking products. I have been told that you can use a natural sugar substitute, but I was concerned about how it might change the taste of my cookies. I finally decided to give it a try anyway using Stevia. It’s a sugar alternative that is surprisingly affordable. I was pleasantly surprised at how lightweight the package was in comparison to the weight of white refined sugar.

Easy Bake Chicken Dinner Recipe for Two
This easy bake chicken dinner recipe is super easy to make.
Like many people, my schedule is quite hectic. I don’t like the idea of resorting to fast food for dinner. So I sat down one day and wrote down a list of quick and easy recipes that are healthier than fast food but yet very easy to prepare. This chicken dinner’s ingredients are basic (you probably already have them in your fridge or cabinets) and the preparation is simple. Just add the vegetables and chicken parts that you like best (we like drumsticks at our house), mix everything up with a spoon or your fingers, and bake.

5 Ways Audiobooks Can Improve Your Life (and the World)
As early as the 1920s, people were using seminars and books on tape to learn more and better themselves. Great minds of the 20th century like Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie and Earl Nightingale recorded their speeches and talks — they’ve been heard by millions of people since then. Millions of people have been helped by their timeless words.
Today books on tape have largely been replaced with audiobooks, like the ones offered at Audible. You can now play your book of choice on your cellphone, iPad, tablet or laptop. Audible also offers audiobooks for free to new users who have an Amazon account. Here are five reasons why I think this new technology is such a great tool for the 21st century. I believe modern audiobooks will help millions more people succeed and have better lives in this and future generations.
