Why Everyone Should Love Peanut Butter and Jelly!
Thursday, June 19th, 2008A good peanut butter and Jelly sandwich is always one of my lunch time favorites. I stumbled upon an interesting campaign that elevates the importance of the lowly PB& J. Check out the Peanut Butter and Jelly Campaign. This campaign does a great job of explaining why meat and animal products are hard on the environment. [...]
Best Green Dishwasher Liquid
Thursday, June 12th, 2008While I do love many of their other products, the Seventh Generation dishwasher liquid does not work well. Maybe its the water in my house but food is always still left on dishes and it seems like such a waste of water to rewash them after the cycle or prewash them before. As I said yesterday, [...]
Six Random Things from Cake
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008I am so new to blogging that I don’t know how everything works so I am always excited to find out that people actually read what I write.

Cars Back on Top
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008MSN reports that for the first time in nearly 30 years, the Ford F150 truck is not the best selling vehicle in America. The honor now belongs to the Honda Civic (which as a Honda fan, I think is great!) So maybe $4.00 is the tipping point for gasoline? I know that price makes me think about [...]

But, this is one easy thing for all the green bloggers out there to do. The badge above represents Brighter Planet’s 350 challenge. The first 350 bloggers that sign up to display the badge [...]
Meatless Monday
Monday, June 2nd, 2008Today we had tacos with a tasty bean, green pepper, and onion filling. You can visit my Meatless Monday - Cinco de Mayo edition post for the taco seasoning recipe. Combine two cans of kidney beans, one diced green pepper and one diced onion to one cup of water and two tablespoons (or to taste) [...]
Green Clothing Scam
Monday, June 2nd, 2008I hate shopping for clothes. I have the same complaints most women do - nothing fits, it’s not flattering, too old to wear this, too young to wear that…etc. But I do make it to the mall on occasion - mostly for the indoor playground and Starbucks. Last week, I saw an advertising campaign in my [...]
