'Green Day'


I recently discovered a place to get the most fantastic lettuce, you're likely to find in our area. At Mud Lake Farm all of the lettuce varieties are grown hydroponically, meaning in water, instead of soil. They are using sustainable practices and no pesticides. Lettuce is delivered to several locations in the G.R. area on a weekly basis and you can sign up to purchase a weekly or biweekly share. For more information, check out the website: http://mudlakefarm.com/

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.

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 ...

Ingredients Organic I have seen a lot of 'information' lately, claiming that organic foods are only labeled as such to ensure the company selling them a higher profit and that they do not actually provide more nutrition. The fact of the matter is that you wouldn't buy organic to get more vitamins, minerals or what have you, but to avoid all the added pesticides, preservatives and hormones found in most conventional food products. It is true, that in most cases you'll pay extra not to have those things in your food (ironic, isn't it?), but if you consider cutting some of the processed stuff (store bought cookies, chips, snacks of all sorts and really any prepackaged junk with a list of ingredients, a mile long) from your shopping list, you will quickly make up the difference. Don't get me wrong, we're on a budget here. The times I'm able to walk out of the store with all organic groceries are still few and far between, BUT if you're interested, you...

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???
