Green Clean

I have two recipes for cleaning products that I use everyday in every way! No seriously I use this stuff on EVERYTHING!

1) Squirt bottle
1/2 water & 1/2 white vinegar. DONE
I use this in the bathroom, the kitchen, to freshen the carpet, the upholstery, mopping solution, disinfectant, deodorizer. Oh the list could go on and on. I recently used it as a spot solution before using the steam vac. Bingo stains came up. I also use it to freshen my comforter that is Dry Clean only. Stray on bath toys after every bath. Spray on your fruit after the grocery store and the whole moldy berries thing is a thing of the past. I dust with it. It's a natural water softener so I add a splash to every load of laundry. No more Snuggles here. And the best part is that Vinegar is CHEAP and does not harm children, I know cause Eva tries to drink it! If you want a smell to it just add some drops of essentials oil into the spray bottle. Bingo. Done.

2) Squirt bottle
1 to 1 Rubbing Alcohol and Water
1 Tbls. Vinegar. DONE.
This does windows and glass. Follow up with a newspaper and it is streak free!

Enjoy your next Cleaning Day as I am off to do the Bathrooms!!

Avocado Pasta

You will need (makes 2 servings):
1 Avocado
1 clove of garlic
1 handful of chopped Cilantro
1 Lime
Salt & Pepper to taste.
1/2 Box of Brown Rice Pasta (Spaghetti Style)

I also add in chopped zucchini and broccoli. About a cup of each.


Mix together first 5 ingredients in small processor or blender until
creamy in texture. Set aside. Boil pasta as directions say on box. At least 5 minutes drop veggies in to boil. Drain.

In large bowl add avocado mixture and noodles. Stir. It is now ready to plate up.






You have a gluten-free and meat free dinner that is all of 320 Calories, 5.5 grams of protein, 45 Carbs and 13 grams of fat. Avocado will do that to the fat content. But hey I eat this stuff and lose weight. :)

Happy Eating All!
