How Green is your kitchen…


Mine not so much.

Although I really try to be green…I buy things that have less packaging, I recycle all I can and I think about new-uses and reuses for my stuff.  When I cook I have no problem on using everything before putting it down the disposal. I grew up with Lore B, my mom, who added leftovers every night to the soup until Thursday night you could not tell what was in the soup.

I look at the kitchen a cog for cleaning my house. I blame that on Lore B too. My house is clean, some days more than others but one a week I go vacuum, dust and scrub my entire home. It is one of the few things I do that has an actual beginning and end so I can really feel good about my accomplishment- finishing with a clean house. But I am one of those who think that smell of bleach and ammonia smells clean so I am slowly trying to use green products and feel that I am really cleaning. I have no problem cleaning windows with vinegar and water with a splash of alcohol using newspaper…yes that is how Lore B cleaned her windows too. And she gets to say she wins by everyone coming back to where she was 40 years ago!

I am trying to be more green in the house and in the kitchen…I will keep you posted how I do.
