Loads of Love : ECO Laundry

Loads of Love

The local Green Market has moved to Wednesday evenings!!

We now get to enjoy this array of products all summer long.

Besides the organic produce....my favorite product came from

Loads of Love.

Soap Nuts are the most eco-friendly way to clean your laundry.

You take about 4-6 nuts, throw it into a bag, and that is it!

You can add essential oil to the bag if you would like a little bit of scent, however, I'm not too sure it is very effective.

The Soap Nuts will leave your laundry fresh, clean, and scent free.

You can use each batch for about 3 loads or test them by giving them a squeeze when they are wet. If you see white soap then they are still good.

There are a few places to get these amazing little nuts.

Loads of Love puts their money where their nuts are!

They are a soon to be Non Profit Organization. They raise money to feed the hungry & they are creating a business that celebrates sustainability.

Bravo!!

There are a plethora of options for your used Soap Nuts.

One option is to boil them in 4 cups of water and strain into a spray bottle.

 This is a great insect repellent for your skin or your plants! 

Check it out......tell me what you think!

sweet chips

Going to the market to buy food is one of my most favorite things in life! I know that some people loathe it, but, I am inspired by it. Whenever I see produce that looks exciting I buy it most of the time not knowing what the end result will be.

A couple of organic sweet potatoes caught my eye the other day.....this is what happened......

Sweet Chips

Ingredients:

2 sweet potatoes

1/2 tbsp coconut oil

salt

pepper

ground ginger

preheat oven 375

1. wash & slice the potatoes in even rounds, if they are similar in thickness they will cook more evenly

2. place in a large bowl

3. add a pinch of sea salt, pinch ground ginger, cracked pepper, and coconut oil

- you want the oil to just coat all of the slices

4. bake until you start to see the potatoes start to shrink a little

5. flip potatoes over & bake until desired consistency

This is a great way to "sneak " a healthy snack into anyone's life!

Especially on a holiday weekend!!
