What A Man Needs

Father's Day is Sunday, June 20th.  This year, unlike others, it should be easier to figure out what a man needs.   Any gift that will give him an opportunity to nourish his mind, body and soul is a perfect choice.  The gift basket in this picture was custom made to include the recipients favorite snacks and treats.  It even included a quality cigar and travel case to keep it fresh. A grooming kit is ideal for those quick touch ups he might need before stepping out for work, fun or play.  How about a Swiss army knife.  He can leave it in the glove box of the car or truck.  It's a gadget that will be there when he needs it. After a long day of work or a strenuous workout at the gym or home, why not treat him to a in home spa gift basket.  Any gift that compliments his sports interest or recreational activity would be well received.  A new set of personalized golf balls, golf glove or fishing equipment are all good choices too.  Go here www.basketsbyconsuela.com for more gift ideas.  We have lots of gifts for what a man needs this Father's Day.   Baskets by Consuela   "we think outside the basket" Phone: 678.499.2765 Fax: 1-610-885-7584 Email: baskets.byconsuela@yahoo.com Website: http://www.basketsbyconsuela.com Blogs: http://Basketsbyconsuela.wordpress.com & http://basketwrapup.blogspot.com/ Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/basketsbyconsuela/

National Fitness Day

Wednesday, May 19, 2010 is National Fitness Day.  It's no secret that our country is struggling with an obesity epidemic.  It is easier to follow a healthier lifestyle if you have some info on hand to keep you focused.  While I'm no health guru, I can share a few tips that most experts say we can all take heed to.  The following foods are some brain boosters as well.  Eating more fish that contains Omega 3 fatty acids like tuna and salmon.  Consuming green leafy veggies, cauliflower and broccoli.  Avocados, nuts and seeds are foods high in Vitamin E.  Dark chocolate, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are more beneficial to you than candy with high sugar content.  Substitute whole grains such as oatmeal and brown rice in place of white rice, pasta or bread which contain process sugars. Drinking plenty of water helps you stay well hydrated.  Even coffee in moderation is alright too.  Finally, don't skip breakfast.  Do not shop on an empty stomach and avoid late-night eating.  If you keep more fruits, nuts and veggies on hand you'll have a healthier alternative than junk foods at your fingertips. Here's to your health and fitness.

Georgia Peaches On My Mind

There's nothing like the taste of delicious juicy peaches.  Here are some facts and a few ways to enjoy them. Spaniards brought peaches to South America and the French introduced them to Louisiana. The English took them to their Jamestown and Massachusetts colonies. Columbus brought peach trees to America on his second and third voyages. To this day China remains the largest world producer of peaches, with Italy second. Italy is the main exporter of peaches in the European Union; the regions of Campania and Emilia Romagna account for more than 50% of Italy’s annual production. California produces more than 50% of the peaches in the United States (and grows 175 different varieties). So many peaches are grown in Georgia that it became known as the Peach State. Famous Peach Dishes The Bellini: fresh peach purée and spumante, an Italian sparkling wine; Champagne or other sparkling wine can be used. The drink is said to have originated in the 1930s at Harry’s Bar in Venice, a favorite haunt of Ernest Hemingway, and is named for the 15th-century Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini. The peachy color of the cocktail reminded Cipriani of the color of the garments of St. Francis in a famous Bellini painting; Cipriani named the drink in Bellini’s honor. Peach Melba: poached peaches, vanilla ice cream and raspberry purée. The dessert is named after Nellie Melba, the great Australian operatic soprano. Peaches are a favorite fresh snacking fruit and cereal fruit, and make wonderful pies and jams. Peach ice cream is a summer favorite. Ripe peaches also freeze well for later use. Reprint from The Nibble - The Magazine About Specialty Foods, August 2006 Ed. If you want to indulge even further try a calming Peach Blossom Spa.  A delightful blend of peach, kiwi and coconut scents creates a relaxing home spa experience.
