Homemade Insect Repellent/ Bug Spray Recipe
Since we got married, Mike and I have always lived without an air conditioning unit. In our first apartment, though, we had a terrific cross breeze; we were at the top of a mountain, and a breeze would blow up the mountain, through our apartment from one side to the other, cooling the whole thing, […]
Sprouted Lentil Vegetarian Chili Recipe
I think I have this love/hate relationship with chili. I’ve tasted bad ones, and I’ve tasted really terrific ones. I used to think that all you had to do to make chili was mix some beans with tomato sauce and chili powder, but I’ve found chili like that to be sorely lacking something to make […]
