We spent more money on food this week than usual. I found a gem of a farm about an hour north of us- Runaway Creek Farm. It really is perfect, and so beautiful. They have 5 grass-fed cows, 6 grass-fed pig, lots of chickens, bees and acres upon acres of grass and gardens. They are an eco-cert farm ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 42
Chia Ginger Green Tea
Green tea is chock-full of polyphenols, phytochemicals with potent antioxidant properties that give green tea its bitter flavor. It also contains alkaloids such as caffeine, although in lower quantities than black tea, which gives its stimulating properties. I am big green tea fan. I usually try to ...

Project Green Foot- Week 40
When I first began shopping at La Moisson, the natural food store near my house, it always bothered me that they repackaged their food in plastic bags.

6 Ways to Conserve Energy in the Summer
I remember while growing up, every time we left the front door open my mom would yell “We are not heating the whole street- close the door” or “do we live in a barn?” If we opened the fridge door too long, she would say something along the lines of “Are you waiting for the light to burn out?” Of ...

Project Green Foot- Week 39
I have mentioned in the past that there are not really any bulk stores in and around where we live, (at least not that I have found) to purchase nuts, seeds and dried fruit, which are all such a large part of our diet. I was lucky enough to find PranaBio, who sells all the good stuff that I need! I ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 39
