Grow your own green onions with just water

I had to try it for myself. I kept seeing these posted on pinterest and wondered if there was much truth to it. I used the ends of 6 green onions that were going in the trash regardless and cut them about two inches from the root. This picture is a weeks worth of growth.

I'm never buying green onions again!

**Update**

This updated photo is 24 hours of growth, we have been doing this for a while now and it still amazes me. It is about half an inch in just 24 hours!

Lunches to go

Often we like to make quiche for lunch because it will feed us for a few days. Normally we make our quiche with no crust just to be healthier but because of the longer hours I am working we find there are longer waits in between meals and the carbs help the meal go a bit farther. These two quiches from start to finish cost about $8 to make and will feed both of us for at least four lunches which is $1 for each lunch. In our quiche we have: Zucchini Red pepper Spinach Ham Mozza cheese Salt & Pepper And the obvious egg What I like most about this is it is quick and we can make it on a Sunday night and then have lunches for the rest of the week. Otherwise I end up being too tired to make a lunch at night and I never have enough time in the morning. This means I end up spending unnecessary money on lunch.

Dollar Store Display

I had a "free" weekend, meaning no tests to study for or assignments to finish, just a ton of reading. I find myself craving the creative when I am busy with school and work. My grandparents 50th wedding anniversary is coming up this weekend and so I thought the grand kids could make a nice lunch for them. I bought all the stuff I need to make cake pops for dessert (as they are my newest obsession) and that got me thinking that I want to have something nice to display them on. My other inspiration for this project, obviously pinterest because I am obsessed, is the new show Sugar Stars, have you seen it, OMG this is what I want to do that for a living. I would be so content making sweets and candy all day! But their displays, they are amazing! I am not into the kitchy things like the make up cases and dragon eggs but the colours, the symmetry, the creativity, I cant get enough. Well back to the topic at hand. These cake plates are jus...

Power Balls

I have recently been trying hard to get healthier and loose some weight. The thought of engagement photos, trying on wedding dresses, and general attention in my direction is something new and frightening for me. I hate photos of myself, luckily we have a great photographer who is helping me be less tragic in front of the camera. Anyways...on to why you are here. I have started doing the BodyrockTV workouts and following their blog. I am sharing one recipe I found that both my fiancé and I love. Power Balls by Zuzana. You can find the original post here .
