We have a handful of Black Walnut Trees in the yard and we did a proud job of harvesting them this last year (ashamed to say that we never really did anything with them before…what a mistake…they are delicious!)

If you’re looking for a fun, healthy way to dress up those fresh veggies once in a while, I highly recommend this dipping sauce.    My friend Sheree Clark shared this one with me a while back and I absolutely love it.  It’s a great one for kids lunches, too!  I find myself making it all the time and the only other recommendation I have for the recipe is that I usually need to double……..or triple…. it! lol.

We recently discontinued our garbage service and can’t say that I’ve missed it, yet.  We found that we really weren’t putting much trash out anymore each week and decided it was just a waste of $50/month.  It kind of happened on ‘accident’, but we’re running with it…..Jon had simply inquired about getting less frequent pickups and seeing if they did a bi/weekly or monthly pickup instead and somehow that translated into we didn’t need their service anymore and the following week, the garbage man just stopped visiting……lol

However, between composting, recycling and paying attention to the things we’re buying, we really got to a point where we weren’t generating very much ‘landfill’ trash each week.

Feels good.

One less bill…One more way to force ourselves to continue being more conscientious about waste.  We’ll see how it goes.

Anyone else out there find that they don’t have much need for home garbage service anymore?!

Cheers to less trash!

that this is a healthy staple at my house.

I use it to cook and bake with, for skin care, hair care and baby care.  It’s even a good product to have in the medicine chest as it has antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial properties.
