Absolutely Yummy Dryer Sheets

Of course I know, that it would be best for the Environment, not to use any fabric softeners at all and I tried, believe me I did. Now, this is in the Grand Scheme of Things certainly no big Sacrifice. But, if I'm honest I missed the smell and the soft shirts. So I found these and I've never looked back.
Method Dryer Sheets are made from a Wood Fiber Base and rely on natural Plant Oils (as opposed to Animal Fats, YUCK) for softness and scent. You really only ever need one of these Babies per load and the smell is heavenly (they do come in several scents). Method products are widely available and quite economically priced.

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...

A greener Sandwich Bag

Image
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.
