Recently, I discovered some wonderfully healthy products that are not only good for adults, but for children as well. I can not believe I haven’t heard of them before!
Kefir is a pro-biotic yogurt drink that is extremely healthy. The benefits are even greater than regular yogurt. Yogurt has two to three strains of pro-biotic, whereas kefir has 12 strains of pro-biotic. Some of Lifeways products are kefir drinks, frozen kefir, and kefir cheese. They have several flavors to choose from.
Some of the benefits of kefir are:
• Stimulate digestion.
• Lose weight.
• Enhance immune system.
• Alleviate lactose intolerance, IBS,
Crohn’s and colitis.
Studies have been made on kefir’s oral health in children. The effects are outstanding.
Kefir is sold in stores throughout the United States and has Kefir cafe locations listed on their website. They are a publically traded company that has a link to their stock on their website.
I highly recommend Lifeways and their products and encourage everyone to visit their website.

Crockpot Chili
(My recipe)
1 lb. hamburger or sausage
1 onion
1 chopped green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic
2 whole bay leaves
1 large canned chili con carne
1 15 oz. canned diced tomato’s (I like to use Chili style, has more flavor)
1 15 oz. canned tomato sauce
1 30 oz. canned kidney beans (or close to that size-the large can)
Brown meat in frying pan with onion, bell pepper, and garlic, until brown. Put meat and remaining ingredients in Crockpot, and stir. Star out on high temperature and then after it has cooked for about an hour, lower heat. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn on the bottom, by stirring periodically. Cook 4-6 hours.

I am beginning a new blog category for all of you grandmothers out there. Let me introduce myself. I am co-owner of Aaron’s Online Boutique. I have four children and 11 grandchildren, the oldest being five years old. Two more grandchildren are due this year. Nothing brings more joy to me than spending time with my grandchildren, and I am sure the rest of you grandmothers feel the same way.
I will be sharing ideas, recipes, products and much more with you. In return, I want to hear from you. Your thoughts and ideas will be posted as I go through them.
Sincerely,
