I could sing the praises of pressure cookers all day long. They make it amazingly easy to make a fast meal with a slow cooked taste. The flavors pop, the meat falls off the bone, and you can walk in the house with only 45 minutes to spare and still have an amazing dinner. This soup imitates a classic chicken noodle soup except it uses rabbit. The flavor is very similar but rabbit is one of the healthiest, leanest, and most environmentally friendly meats you can eat. It is a very sustainable … [Read more...]
Are You ‘Greener Than Thou’?

I basically … [Read more...]
Eco Calendars for Kids
I came across a great product today aimed at those who want to put the environment and the natural world at the forefront each month. Eco-calendars for the whole family! Though I think kids will really likes these. They are a wonderful addition to schools and for homes as well. The four-panels comprising the calendar, one for each season, present information on seasonally visible stars, the phases of the Moon and tides, the ratios of darkness and light, the seasonal behavior of Earth's … [Read more...]
