Sometimes the massive amount of labeling and non-GMO-labeling and plants and seeds and EVERYTHING in the green shopping market is one giant hot mess. Some mad scientist has opened up a can o’ whoopass on us throwing in a drama cocktail which has all the subtlety of a reality T.V show like Hell’s Kitchen combined […]

Rich and Creamy Homemade Blueberry Smoothie
You are going to LOVE this creamy, rich, blueberry smoothie – it’s the perfect sweet treat! Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits. Especially fresh local, organically grown blueberries.

The carrots at the farmers market are the biggest, fattest and most delicious carrots I have ever seen and tasted. I tend to buy a lot of them during the week because I enjoy juicing them. Carrot and apple or carrot and pear juice really are one of the most refreshing juices. I love the […]
Project Green Foot- Week 27
I was disappointed with our CSA basket this week. It just seems they threw a bunch of random fruits and veggies in a basket with little though. I am pretty sure the only thing local was the tomatoes. We decided we are going to cancel our CSA basket and just purchase from the farmers market. […]
