We've heard it all, haven't we?  Some kids don't like broccoli.  They will turn up their noses at squash.

Beets? No way.

The 'NO' list goes on and on.  So how can we provide much - needed nutrients to these finicky eaters?

Try some of these tasty recipes:

1.  Pasta with Tomato and Hidden Vegetable Sauce.

The ingredients in this sauce include celery, carrots, tomatoes and onions.  You can also sprinkle a bit of cheese for a kick of calcium.

Kids will be too busy crunching these delicious bites to care about the healthy vegetables hidden inside.  The cream cheese dip is a definite plus.

 This year's awards show was held on Sunday in Los Angeles.  Word on the streets? Many outfits were less than flattering. We try our best not to use the G word over here.  However we saw many cute and stylish outfits, proudly worn by our ladies.   We managed to choose 5 gorgeous red carpet ensembles from BET's event. This dark dress with a flattering neckline managed to turn heads.  Applique was the name of the game for this short number. This dress was our personal favorite, body hugging and with a strategically placed slit. We would have preferred a less translucent look, but this fit was definitely worn with confidence. Her hair could have been in an updo, however we love the gold accents worn with this mindless. Who were your 5 Best Dressed Ladies?

                          I have to admit , these Creme of Nature products have been lifesavers for my hair!  Since I decided to buy these products just for the heck of it, I don't regret my purchases.  These have been my go-to products for a little over two months and I am totally satisfied with the results.     1.  Creme of Nature Moisture & Shine shampoo.  This sulfate - free product lathers up well and rinses out leaving hydrated, clean hair. 2.  Creme of Nature Leave - In Hair Milk.   I apply this after I condition my hair and also as a daily moisturiser. 3.  Creme of Nature Pudding Perfection Curl Enhancing Creme This is the last step in my hairdressing routine.  As the name states, its pudding - like consistency keeps my hair moist so it does not dry out and get crunchy.   The label says it can also be used with heat to stretch out curls but I try to keep heat - styling tools at bay as much as I can.
