Thai Green Curry is one of my favorite dishes to make at home for hubby and I. It's loaded with healthy veggies, doesn't require a lot of ingredients, and comes together in about half an hour. If you've never had Thai Green Curry, it's got a thick, sweet sauce made of coconut milk and green curry paste. Because there are chile peppers in the green curry paste, it's also got a little bit of heat to it.

Eco-Crafting: Pin Cushions from Bottle Caps

Posted 01-07-2009 at 04:56 PM by kristen.c

A few days ago I was browsing the internet and found a Flickr tutorial that shows how to make a pincushion base out of a soda bottle cap. DH brings home lots of these from the recycling bins at work so I can use the coke codes, and I usually toss the caps back into our recycling bins once I've entered the codes. Not anymore!

If you're anything like me, winter is a time of feeling sluggish and tired with little energy to do much else. I'm a soup and salad kind of person, but I find myself shying away from salads in the colder months because they leave me feeling unsatisfied and still hungry, which leads to unhealthy snacking later in the day.

One of my favorite winter salads is a spinach and tomato salad. It's served warm, so it warms your belly when you eat it and leaves you feeling full. Since spinach...

Thanks to trades, trains, and RAOKs, I have a pretty thick stack of $1/1 Cascadian Farm coupons that expire on 11/15 and so I've been trying to stock up on their products when I can. One of the local natural foods markets (My Organic Market, for those who live in Maryland) has the 10 ounce Cascadian Farm frozen vegetables on sale for $1.79, so only 79 cents after the coupon. Normally these go for $1.99-$2.99 in my area. This is a store I shop at regularly, and they also had good prices this month...

DC Green Festival

Yesterday DH and I went to the Washington DC Green Festival. We lucked out on tickets as one of the local natural markets that I shop at regularly is a sponsor, and they just happened to have a coupon at the checkout for a buy one get one free admission. Parking in DC can sometimes be tricky, and there is a Metro station right at the convention center where the festival was being held so it was a given that we'd take the Metro to the convention, and because we had our Metro passes we got an even...
