It is a journey that I started several years ago after a life changing experience... Living in a world that turns a blind eye to current practices is not easy. I hope help people to understand that it can be less challenging than you think and you can bring the family pets along for the ride :)Recovering Carnivorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01403674011331669461noreply@blogger.comBlogger50125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349881156510648912.post-57205844163270805102013-06-23T20:19:00.001-07:002013-06-23T20:19:39.204-07:00Raw Food Experiment Summer 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been doing some research on the benefits of a raw vegan diet. Starting in July I will be adding in more of the raw fruits and veggies. I will also be doing some trials on making crackers and different meals and desserts that I have seen. I want to be prepared to go completely raw for the month of August. It will be a challenge but I feel that the energy, mental clarity and general spiritual uplifting you get from it is more of a benefit. I will post on the progress and pictures of the foods I make to show how easy it can be. <br />Recovering Carnivorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01403674011331669461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349881156510648912.post-10510907745665308612013-04-13T11:05:00.000-07:002013-04-13T11:05:17.018-07:002013 Canning Season We ordered a flat of strawberries and made some homemade jam!!!

I ordered a new program to start using and see if it works. Very inexpensive and has a money back guarantee so I am not going to lose any money if it doesn't work! I have 60 days to see what happens and I am so excited. I am not sure how to feel about the very long times at the gym until I get the program down and I have to figure out what is the best time to go so I don't feel pressure and can still sleep and function at work. Trial and error will be my friends for a while. I am doing before pictures this week and measurements so that I can accurately keep account of what I am doing. I am also going to sign up for a journal or create one on my computer so that I can see the ups and downs of the progress. I have so much hope for this program since it is a custom one and not a cookie cutter type. If you want a link please comment and I will send it via email to you so that you can try it too! I will update on the progress and maybe even post some pictures of things too :)Recovering Carnivorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01403674011331669461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349881156510648912.post-2399156940585760802013-03-18T10:17:00.004-07:002013-03-18T11:13:12.180-07:00Bosch Kitchen Mixer Giveaway... <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I thought WOW! I need to try this, I put my order in on Monday and went to volunteer to help this morning, it was fun and I got some great fruits and veggies!!!! The apples were the size of softballs, and the carrots are big enough to be a meal in themselves!! I will definitely keep doing the basket orders :) If you are interested please comment below and I will post the information!<br />

Let's face it. We've been there. Taco sauce,
tomato soup, Spaghettios.... they wreck havoc on your plastic containers! Here
is an easy how-to to clean your containers out.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />1.
Fill almost to the top with water and a squirt of dish soap<br />2. Add 1/4 cup of
bleach<br />3. Microwave the container for 40 seconds, or until the solution is
boiling<br />4. Allow to rest until the water is luke-warm<br />5. Wash out your

<div style="margin: 4.8pt 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">I am gathering
names of individuals that would like to participate in the master cleanse. It
is a full 10 days but if you wish you can go longer. There are some pretty
strict guidelines if you want to detoxify correctly. I can send info or post on
the blog if you wish. I will be doing an update on the progress pretty regular.
I am will be starting it by the 1st of October. Please email me or make a
comment on here to let me know that you are up for the challenge!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #cd0033; font-family: Tahoma;">First
Lets Talk About The Main Ingredients You'll Need For The Master Cleanser Recipe<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #cd0033; font-family: Tahoma;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">The first
one (pure filtered water) is probably the most overlooked, and disregarded step
in the Master Cleanse. It</span><span style="color: #333333; mso-ascii-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-hansi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS;">’</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">s also the most important if you want
to cleanse your body. To make sure you get all the detoxing benefits you should
make the lemonade<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">with
filtered water. You can find filtered water at most grocery stores, but a more convenient
option is to own your own home water filter pitcher or tap filter. The other
main ingredients are pretty standard fare, and can be found at most grocery
stores. A few things to keep in mind</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> <span style="color: #333333;">use organic ingredients. The goal of</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">The
Master Cleanse is to remove toxic substances from your body so stay away from
ingredients that have been sprayed with pesticides. Don't use concentrated
lemon juice</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">. <span style="color: #333333;">If
you have to you can use non-organic lemons, but you cannot use concentrated
lemon juice because it's filled with sugar and preservatives.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">Make sure
the sea salt is Unrefined or</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> <span style="color: #333333;">Not iodized this will be used as a<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">Laxative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">Optional
Ingredients:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">The first
of the optional ingredients, the laxative tea can be used in place of, or in
addition to the sea salt flush. The purpose of both of these items is to
increase eliminations. Of the two the sea salt is the more effective, but if
you take sea salt the laxative tea will work fine. The tea can be found in most
grocery stores, and is sold under different brand names. The two I use are
Smooth Move and Laxative Tea. But you can use herbal teas (decaffeinated) to
help break the redundancy of drinking the plain lemonade all day long. These
teas come in an assortment of flavors, and can really liven up the taste of the
lemonade. Herbal tea can be found at just about any grocery store.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #cd0033; font-family: Tahoma;">The
Master Cleanse Recipe<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">The Master
Cleanse works just how it sounds; you consume primarily lemonade for the entire
time you're on the diet. So the recipes for the diet itself are fairly simple.
You should drink a minimum of 60 oz of lemonade a day, but can drink more if<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">You like.
You can also drink as much water as you want. I suggest you consume your body
weight in ounces of water. Below are two different recipes. The first is for a
single serving of the master cleanse lemonade. The second will make 6 servings<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">There are
a couple important things to remember when preparing the lemonade.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">For one,
the lemon juice used must be fresh squeezed. This cannot be emphasized enough.
It is necessary to use fresh produce. Canned juice won't work and will erase
most of the benefits of using the master cleanser diet. Also, the maple syrup
must be grade B maple syrup, not the sugar filled syrup that is used at the
breakfast table. The cayenne pepper might seem unnecessary, but it is actually
very important. Not only does it help to add a bit of a kick, but also the pepper
helps to break up mucus and increases healthy blood flow. It also is a good
source of B and C vitamins, commonly referred to as Super Vitamins due to their
many benefits for the body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">Mixing
teas with the recipe is one way to help modify things, just make sure it's
decaffeinated tea because caffeine can restrict blood vessels and we want to
keep your body passages as open as possible. Recommended length is 10 days (3
days if</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">That is
just too much due to time constraints)-->(alternate hungry periods with the lemonade
or just water)</span><span style="color: #333333; mso-ascii-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-hansi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS;">…</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma;">for future trials, it is said that you
can work up to 30 days. You should practice no more than 3-4 times per year.
Continue or increase exercise daily. Upon completion, ease into eating for 4 days
eat only fruits, vegetable, juice, plain basmati rice & smoothies. Then
resume normal diet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 9.6pt 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">One of the key aspects
of the Master Cleanse is to flush your system of any toxins and accumulated waste,
which is clogging your system. The way this is done is by using a salt-water
flush or herbal tea. Both of these will clear your colon and get your internal
organs into a much faster and better working mode. Drinking 1 teaspoon of
unrefined non-iodized sea salt mixed with 25-35 ounces of water will flush out
your system completely. One suggestion: whether you use the salt-water flush or
the herbal tea flush, it's best to be near a bathroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
</h2>
<hr />
There's nothing worse than loading up during your weekly trip to the
farmers market and then forgetting about all your goodies, only to find
them languishing limply in your crisper drawer days later. To keep
produce fresher for longer, follow these tips.<img class="inline" height="367" src="http://media3.onsugar.com/files/2012/08/35/3/192/1922729/f44d5f044e8e15bd_147313273.preview.jpg" width="550" /><br />
<ol>
<li>Some fruits and veggies produce a gas called ethylene as they ripen.
This gas can prematurely ripen foods that are sensitive to it, so keep
ethylene-producing foods away from ethylene-sensitive foods. Avocados,
bananas, cantaloupes, kiwis, mangoes, nectarines, pears, plums, and
tomatoes, for example, should be stored in a different place than your
apples, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, and watermelon. Get a longer
list of <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/avoid-premature-spoiling-fruits-vegetables-10000000681591/" target="_blank">fruits to store separately here</a>.</li>
<li>Keep potatoes, onions, and tomatoes in a cool, dry place, but not in the fridge. The cold will ruin their flavor.</li>
<li>Store unripe fruits and veggies like pears, peaches, plums, kiwis,
mangoes, apricots, avocados, melons, and bananas on the counter. Once
they're ripe, <a href="http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/recipes/healthy-eating/nutrition/necessary-refrigerate-produce/" target="_blank">move them to the fridge</a>. Banana peels will turn dark brown, but it won't affect the flesh. </li>
<li>Store salad greens and fresh herbs in bags <a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/How-Store-Salad-Greens-336887" target="_blank">filled with a little air</a> and sealed tightly.</li>
<li>Citrus fruits such as oranges, tangerines, lemons, and limes, will
do fine for up to a week in a cool, dark place, away from direct
sunlight, but you can lengthen their lives by storing them in the fridge
in a mesh or perforated plastic bag.</li>
</ol>

<li>Wrap celery <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5913589/keep-celery-fresh-by-wrapping-in-aluminum-foil" target="_blank">in aluminum foil</a> and store it in the veggie bin in the fridge.</li>
<li>Other types of produce such as carrots, lettuce, and broccoli start
to spoil as soon as they're picked, so place these in separate plastic
baggies in the crisper in your fridge <span class="nobrand">ASAP</span> (make sure they're dry since moisture speeds up spoiling).</li>
<li>Cut the leafy tops of your pineapple off and <a href="http://www.yumsugar.com/Simple-Tip-Store-Your-Pineapples-Upside-Down-1624053" target="_blank">store your pineapple upside down</a>. This helps redistribute sugars that sink to the bottom during shipping and also helps it keep longer.
</li>
<li>Avoid <a href="http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/nutrition/nutrition-prevent-spoiling-gensler-0206" target="_blank">washing berries</a> until right before you're ready to eat them. Wetness encourages mold growth.</li>
<li>If you like to wash, dry, and cut your fruits and veggies all at
once, store them in covered glass containers lined in paper towels.
You'll not only be able to see them — which reminds you to eat them —
but you'll also be keeping moisture out.</li>
<li>If you normally forget to use up fruits and veggies if you put them in the crisper, store your veggies in plain sight in <a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/Evert-Fresh-Bags-Really-Work-5503308" target="_blank">Evert-Fresh</a> or reusable produce bags that mimic your crisper's function.</li>
<li>Buy only what you need. Go to the market more frequently, or if that's not possible, <a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/How-Make-Fruits-Vegetables-Last-Longer-11803343" target="_blank">plan out your meals ahead of time</a> so you only buy what you know you'll use.</li>
<li>If you notice any rotten produce, compost it immediately before it starts to spoil the rest of the produce.</li>

What are your tips for keeping fruits and veggies fresh when you store them?Recovering Carnivorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01403674011331669461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349881156510648912.post-65263932271610228032012-09-02T13:54:00.000-07:002012-09-02T22:16:00.278-07:00Labor Day 2012Labor Day is the end of summer. We all know that means in a few short weeks there will be an abundance of candy, followed by all that food from Thanksgiving, Christmas Parties and then Christmas its self.... What is a person who doesn't eat meat to do when you are around people that do? Well, here are some tips on how to avoid the "BAD" candies and food choices: <br />
<br />
Most vegans have to face a lot of non vegan parties this time of year. From our office parties to family dinners, usually we are the only one on the vegan train. I found this especially nerve racking when I was transitioning into veganism. The idea of eating out or family dinner parties would really stress me out. As I learned more tips from fellow vegans, I feel so much better heading into those type of situations now. Here are some tips I have learned a long the way and hope they help you this holiday season!<br />
<img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3805" height="226" src="http://www.veganconsultant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/holiday-party-300x226.jpg" title="holiday-party-300x226" width="300" />1. Golden rule: Eat before you leave the house.<br />
2. Make {or buy} a simple vegan dish to share. My go-to dish around the holidays is <a href="http://www.veganconsultant.com/category/recipes/pomegranate-avocado-dip/" target="_blank">pomegranate and avocado dip</a> with multi grain chips. My family and friends love it!<br />
3. Check out <a href="http://www.barnivore.com/liquor#" target="_blank">Barnivore.com</a> and create a signature vegan cocktail.<br />
4. If you taste something that you thought was vegan and realize it isn’t… forgive your self. Learn from it and move on.<br />
5. Dance.<br />
6. When someone asks you if you want non-vegan food just say “No thank you, I’m vegan”. I use not say I was vegan because I didn’t want to create a scene. In my mind the music would cut out, the party would stop and everyone would be staring at me like I was an alien. This actually never happened but I would swear it was a possibility. Now I say “I’m vegan” and it usually starts a dialog about different options that are available. I have been surprised to find vegan option in unexpected places.<br />
7. Focus on spending quality time filled with lots of laughs with friends, family and co-workers!<br />
<br />
And as for candy.... <br />
<br />
<h1>
Vegan Candy Can <br />Satisfy Your Cravings</h1>
<!-- start: shared_blocks.36346053#below-h1 --><!-- end: shared_blocks.36346053#below-h1 --><b>Looking for some vegan candy?</b><br />
Unfortunately, a good amount of candy is often made with some type of animal ingredients. <br />
The most common ones are gelatin (made from animal bones and tendons), milkfat, eggs, carmine (or Natural Red 4, made from beetles), rennet (enzyme from cow stomachs), pepsin (another stomach enzyme), lard (pig fat), E 904, E 120, 901, 904, 542 (all are from animals), or even just sugar that is processed with charred bone fragments. <br />
The good news is that there are plenty of candies that pass the test and don't have any animal ingredients in them, so whether you need an everyday fix or just want a vegan Halloween, rejoice!<br />
I'm not going to say these are all healthy candies, as many are still made with <a href="http://www.vegan-nutritionista.com/high-fructose-corn-syrup.html">high fructose corn syrup,</a> but they are officially vegan.<br />
One of my favorite places to find vegan candy is online at <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/shared/affiliates/?CS=vegane&Affiliate=69&Target=http://www.nexternal.com/vegane/c-54" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vegan Essentials.</a> Check out this link for all your animal-free options.<br />

<br />
My standby bread recipe for everyday loaves makes a lightly-sweet,
fluffy loaf that we’re in love with. I made a few adjustments to the
Honey Grain Bread recipe found in our <a href="http://www.diynatural.com/go/amazon.php?asin=B00005OTXK" target="_blank" title="Our bread machine">Oster Bread Machine</a> recipe booklet. It’s a must try!<br />
<br />
<strong>Honey Grain Bread</strong> (1.5 pound loaf)<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 and 1/4 cups water</li>
<li>2 tablespoons melted butter</li>
<li>1 and 1/2 tablespoons honey</li>
<li>2 and 1/4 cups white organic pastry flour</li>
<li>1 cup organic whole wheat flour</li>
<li>1/2 cup organic rolled oats</li>
<li>1 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>2 teaspoons active dry yeast</li>
</ul>
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.</li>
<li>Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to pan.</li>
<li>Using your finger, form a small hole in the flour for the yeast. (DO
NOT let yeast come in contact with liquid ingredients.) Carefully pour
yeast into the hole.</li>
<li>Insert bread pan into bread maker and close lid.</li>
<li>Choose the “basic” or “whole wheat” setting, and choose your desired crust color (I use light).</li>
<li>Press the START button, go about your day, and a few hours later
you’ll enjoy a house that smells like a bakery (this recipe takes 3 hrs.
40 min.).</li>
</ul>
<br />
We love our bread covered with butter, jam, served with eggs in the
morning, made into grilled cheese, or piled high into a big fat deli
sandwich. This particular loaf has been stored in our refrigerator for
up to three weeks with no problems.<br />
<br />
In fact, in three years we have never had a loaf go moldy. When it
gets too old it just dries out, which we don’t mind because we turn it
into croutons or bread crumbs.Recovering Carnivorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01403674011331669461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349881156510648912.post-12707258920637125502012-05-09T12:22:00.001-07:002012-05-09T12:22:41.564-07:00Homemade Store Bought Items...SAVE MONEY!<br />

</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1/2 cup cornstarch (I use organic)<br />
1/2 cup baking soda (I use Bob's Red Mill Aluminum-Free) <br />
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted (again try for organic)<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
</span><br />
1. Combine cornstarch and baking soda; sift until well combined. <br />
<br />
2. Add coconut oil in a liquid state. Stir it all until it forms a lotion/cream.
<br />
<br />
3. Apply to armpits as needed.<br />
<br />
Depending on room temperature or how you like your deodorant, you can keep it
in the fridge for a less convenient but more solid deodorant or leave it
someplace warm for a more creamy deodorant. The coconut oil is supposed to be
non-staining, but experiment on your own items. I used to use baking soda and
witch hazel and make a roll-on with it, but with the addition of cornstarch the
deodorizing and antiperspirant factor was significantly bumped up! Try it for
yourself!</div>Recovering Carnivorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01403674011331669461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349881156510648912.post-29870668213119301242012-04-21T13:06:00.001-07:002013-02-16T14:56:34.598-08:00DIY Spring Cleaning and Beyond!<img height="200" src="http://www.frugalicity.com/images/lab-rat-gif.gif" title="Frugal lab rat at your service." /><br />

HERE ARE SOME RECIPES THAT I HAVE GOTTEN FROM CLASSES I HAVE TAKEN OR BY SEARCHING THE INTERNET....<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="Sidebar_Title" style="padding-top: 0pt;">
Laundry Detergent</div>
<div class="Sidebar_Title">
<br /></div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
2 cups Borax</div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
2 cups Washing Soda (not baking soda)</div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
1 ground castile bar soap<br />
2 TBSP baking soda </div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
Place all ingredients in an airtight container and shake. Use 2 tablespoon per load. This recipe will wash about 20 loads.</div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
Notes:</div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
To make soap powder, put Dr. Bronner’s Organic Pure-Castile Soap bar into a food processor. Shred the soap with the grater/shredder attachment. Then put in the regular food processor blade and run it for a while. It turns to a coarse powder. Process at least 3 bars of soap in one session so that you have plenty of soap powder. Also grind up left over slivers of bar soap from your shower.</div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
This recipe for homemade vegan laundry detergent works fabulously, but results may vary depending on your laundry circumstances. </div>
<div class="Sidebar_Body">
<br />
Borax and Washing Soda should be available in the laundry section of your local grocery store. For local Vancouver are Fred Meyers has the washing soda and Walmart carries the Borax for under $3 and Lutz Hardware in Camas has the Washing Soda and Borax for a reasonable price also. Castile soap is currently available at Dollar Tree and comes in two scents, Lavender and Almond :)<br />

<b>Oh how I love white vinegar!</b><br />
<br />
The multipurpose nature of vinegar is catching on quickly (even Mr.
Clean secretly loves it). Over the last few years we have watched the
price nearly double. Since ditching chemicals and cleaning “green” has
become more popular, vinegar is flying off store shelves. White vinegar
can still be purchased fairly cheap, and is a tough contender against
most commercial products.<br />
Cleaning is not the only thing vinegar is good for though – here are 10 specific ways we use white vinegar around our house.<br />
<img alt="White Vinegar cleaning, laundry, and more" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4741" height="613" src="http://www.diynatural.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/white-vinegar.jpg" title="White Vinegar cleaning, laundry, and more" width="459" /><br />
</h3>
<h3>
10 household uses for white vinegar</h3>
<h3 style="margin: 1em 0in;">
1. Get your dishes to sparkle - Pour vinegar into
the rinse aid dispenser of your dishwasher and stop spending the money
on expensive commercial rinse aids. This trick works well whether using
commercial or homemade dishwasher detergent.
If hand washing dishes, add a cup of vinegar to your rinse water for
spot-free dishes. The savings over commercial rinse-aids is insane.<br />
<br />
2. Clean your produce - Have you seen the expensive
produce wash sold in stores? If you don’t want to rinse fruits and
veggies in plain water, you can simply wash them with one part vinegar
and three parts water. Add a little lemon juice and a touch of baking
soda to the mix to get non-organic veggies really clean. Just be sure to
rinse well with plain water before eating.<br />
<br />
3. Perk up leafy vegetables - Don’t
throw away wilted lettuce. Droopy greens can be brought back to life
with vinegar. Soak in a bowl with cold water and a splash of vinegar for
10 minutes. Just rinse and dry before enjoying your revived produce. I
told you this stuff was magic!<br />
<br />
4. Cooking (of course) - Over the last few years vinegar has made its way into our kitchen with a vengeance! We now love to make pickles,
dressings, and flavor soups and sauces with vinegar. For most edible
stuff Matt using organic ACV with the mother or red wine vinegar, but
the white stuff makes it to the party every now and again.<br />
<br />
5. Keep colors from running - Soak new colored
garments to help them retain their color longer. Before washing for the
first time, soak garments in a bucket with one part water and one part
white vinegar for 20 minutes. This will save you money in the long run
because you’ll be extending the life of your clothing.<br />
<br />
6. Soften laundry – White vinegar is very effective at removing soap residue in the laundry and softening your clothing and linens.
Add one cup to the fabric softener dispenser of your washing machine,
or fill a fabric softener ball with vinegar and toss it in the load.
Laundry comes out feeling soft and fluffy, with no chemical coatings or
perfumes like commercial softeners. Did I mention it’s a great softening
alternative for sensitive skin.<br />
<br />
7. Clean your house
– Where do I begin? I use diluted vinegar on floors, walls, windows,
carpets, showers, sinks, mirrors, and faucets. My favorite cleaning
trick is to sprinkle baking soda inside the toilet bowl and spray
vinegar around the lid, bowl, and floor surrounding the toilet. I allow
it to sit while I go about my chores (and make sure nobody uses the
bathroom). When I return I scrub the inside of the toilet, wipe away any
remaining vinegar, and flush! Cheap, easy, and effective.<br />
<br />
8. Deodorize - Since moving into a new house, we
have been trying to eliminate odors left by the last tenants. Smoke and
pet odors are improved by spraying a mixture of 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2
cup water enhanced with a few drops of my favorite essential oils.
Spritz this mixture into the air throughout the room; the vinegar smell
will dissipate after a few minutes leaving a fresh scent.<br />
<br />
9. Repel ants - Ants seem to hate vinegar. Spray it
in cracks, around baseboards, on countertops, or anywhere ants tend to
crawl around your house. No need to put poisonous ant traps on your
floor that kids or pets could get into.<br />
<br />
10. Kill grass or weeds without chemicals - Spray full-strength vinegar on <i>young</i>
weeds or grass that creep into places they’re not welcome. The acidic
properties of vinegar wilt and kill the baby plants by the very next
day. Really tough weeds will need a few treatments and are sometimes
better off pulling – just pull them and spray any remaning roots.<br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Great tip I learned from Little Leonard... Do you have a problem with fruit flies? Put apple cider vinegar in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and poke holes in it... with in a day or two you will have a fruit fly floating graveyard!</span><br />

It will be no time at all and outdoor activities will consume us until the weather changes cold once again. Most of us are working on that "summer swimsuit" acceptable look. I know that I want to be able to hang out at the river with my dogs and soak up some sun this year. April 1st is a good day to start a new lease on life. Make plans now and follow the progress that is to come. I have some plans already underway for the near future and some tastey recipes.
