  I look forward to pumpkins every year because of a recipe I received through the Splendid Table. Its pumpkin and black bean chili (surely that's enough information to get started right...). The key to that recipe is to throw in some kale or chard. Holla that stuff is so good. It is the recipe I email the most. LOVE IT. I can't wait to try this one now too.On This Halloween, have your pumpkin--and eat it, too posted 4 weeks ago 5 Responses

  I have gotten a lot of use from the book Better than Basics. I do use baking soda and vinegar for my basic cleaning needs. This book goes into so much more detail on how to address various types of stains or how to make your own lotion/ dishwashing liquid/ etc. Love it.

  Cup user that will never go back

  I have used both the keeper and the Diva cup. I didn't see mention of how to clean... The diva cup can be boiled. The keeper can not be boiled.

  I do get a little more leakage with the Diva cup on my super heavy days.  

  I backpacked and camped a lot this summer, seemingly it always corresponded with my special monthly time. Especially on the backpacking trip I was so grateful for it. No waste and so easy. Just make sure to do your secret buisness near where you can discreetly wash your hands. On A review of eco-minded feminine products, part two posted 1 year ago 22 Responses

  That website has a link to a vegetable storage guide that I have found to be immeasurably useful. When I follow their instructions I don't get rotton veggies. On Umbra on storing produce posted 1 year, 4 months ago 15 Responses
