A greener Sandwich Bag


Natural Value Waxed Paper Bags

We are using these in place of the plastic Sandwich bags. They are made from unbleached Fibers, will not contaminate Groundwater, are Landfill safe and non toxic when Incinerated.
Little Bonus in my book: when I pack cut up Apples for my daughters lunch, they do not turn brown, as they did in plastic. So far I have only found these at Harvest Health Foods and Horrocks, but since each box contains 60, they last us quite a while. Price $3.15 at Harvest Health Foods.
You can also order them at Amazon online.

Gaufres de Bruxelles or Belgian Waffles 'the real Deal'

Image
I have been on the Hunt for a true Belgian Waffle recipe for a while. What is generally perceived to be a Belgian Waffle usually turns out to be a basic Waffle, baked in a certain Waffle Iron. Yet, I had this memory of a dense, slightly sweet, slightly decadent Waffle. Finally I found this recipe for a true Brussels Waffle (in Belgium, there are Brussels and Liege Waffles) at: http://www.waffle-recipe.com/recipes/brussles-waffle-recipe/ So here goes: 1 cup Milk, lukewarm 1 pkg. active dry Yeast (2 1/4 tsp.) 2 sticks Butter, melted 4 Eggs, separated 1 lb (3 1/4 cup) unbleached all purpose Flour 1 pkg. Vanilla Sugar (substitute: 3 tsp. sugar + 1 tsp. vanilla extract) dash of Salt Warm your Milk to slightly above Room Temperature and add the Yeast. Let this bloom for about five Minutes. Then add your cooled, melted Butter and Egg yolks, combine well. Beat your Egg whites until stiff, in a separate Bowl. Add the dry Ingredients to your Milk Mixture and mix well and finally fold in your ...

"Get Well" Chicken Soup

Image
Now, I don't know about you, but in my book nothing combats nasty weather and cooties better than a steaming hot bowl of homemade chicken soup. This is one of those recipes you don't want to get into, if you don't have at least a couple of hours at home, but it does mostly cook away by itself, so there's plenty of time to get caught up on laundry, e-mails or just snuggle up with the munchkins and watch a movie. You will need: 1 chicken (cut up or whole) 2 small or 1 large onion 4 garlic cloves 1 lb carrots 1 bunch of celery 1 lemon 2 bay leaves salt & pepper water For the broth: Put your chicken, the onion (peeled & halved), the garlic (peeled), about 4 of the carrots (peeled & cut in half), about 4 stalks of celery (rinsed & cut in half), the lemon (rinsed & cut in half), the bay leaves and some salt and pepper in a large stock pot and cover with about 2 quarts of cold water. Bring this to a slow boil, turn down to low, cover and simmer...

The only 'Bag' you'll ever need

Full Circle 100% biodegradable Trash Bags This sort of fascinates me (I realize, that I'm easily entertained): These Trash Bags are made out of 80% recycled materials and not only the bags, but also the packaging are (ready for this?) 100% biodegradable! I love finds like this. The thing about this particular find is, it really isn't one. They are being sold right next to the other Trash Bags (at least at Meijer, for those of you in Michigan) and don't really cost more per bag. Now, why can't everything in Life be this easy???
