#Natrogix Green Superfood Powder Review

We have a smoothie almost daily. Usually I add spinach leaves, dried kale that's been ground down, matcha, or Natrogix Green Superfood Powder: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KO4RM1Q

I do feel like they could have filled it a little more full.

You can also add Natrogix Green Superfood Powder to water. I just whisk it as I drink it. It's actually really good! It tastes like orange and not green.

Cost: 

$19.99, but on sale on Amazon for $13.99.

That's for 30 servings. 

Do you like having smoothies?

Happy Saint Patricks Day Everyone

I hope you have a very happy green day!

We're not drinkers. I'd love to have a beer, but it doesn't agree with my allergies, so...no beer for me.

Travis is making corn beef and cabbage. I also have some homemade beer bread made.

This morning I woke up super early, and made: Matcha Buttermilk Pancakes.

They were super easy to make!!!

• 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• ¼ Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 2 Tablespoons Sugar
• 1 Large Egg, Lightly Beaten
• 3 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
• 2 Teaspoons Matcha Green Tea Powder
• 1 Cup Buttermilk: 

Note: If you don't have Buttermilk around I have a trick - Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice for each 1 cup of milk. I hardly buy buttermilk.  

Other things my family devoured: 

• Green Spinach 
• An Egg
• Apple Sauce
• Pumpkin Seeds AKA Pepita Seeds
• Dark Chocolate Chips

Mica said, "We're missing a green smoothie." Yours truly AKA ME broke the glass on the blender this week. I dropped a glass into it. I managed to grab the glass, but chipped the blender in the process. :( I get the dropsies from time to time. 

Do you have a brand of a blender that you like? I don't want to go super high end because I know they can be super expensive. We do use it daily. I'd like a nice one. I have a 30% card to Khol's, so I'm thinking of checking blenders out there. 

ZP1-20 8" Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri Review

I was super excited to get a pan to review! Our old on the same size was getting a little lot worn.

The Green Earth Frying Pan is perfect for our every day cooking.

I cook our frozen homegrown chili peppers in olive oil, sometimes add sun dried tomatoes and/or ham. Once they are done cooking, I put the mix in eggs, and cook them. It's a great source of protein in the morning.

How do you like your eggs?

About the Green Earth Frying Pan:

Cost Value: $29.99, but on Sale for $21.00

It's an 8" Round Pan.

 

It's made by a company called Ozeri. They utilize GREBLON, which is an ultra-safe ceramic coating. Ozeri is on of the world's first frying pans to achieve non-stick perfection without harmful chemicals like PTFE, or PFOA. 

Many other ceramic cookware and conventional cookware brands achieve their non-stick performance through a coating of PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene), a synthetic substance that has waxy properties. High temperatures, PTFE starts to decompose and releases fumes. The fumes are so toxic, they can be lethal to small pets and birds, which is also harmful to humans.

In addition, traditional pans incorporating PTFE are often manufactured with the aid of PFOA (PerFluoroOctanoic Acid), which the EPA has classified as a 'persistent pollutant of the environment'.

With the Green Earth Pan's GREBLON ceramic from Germany, even under high temperatures, no toxic fumes are ever released into the environment. The Green Earth Pan utilizes a 100% ceramic coating inspired by nature - not a laboratory. The Green Earth Pan's ceramic coating is completely free of PTFE and PFOA, and far more durable and scratch-resistant than other non-stick surfaces. 

I noticed that the Green Earth Pan is easier to clean. It has a non-stick property. You can saute, fry, bake, boil, and braise with very little oil. 

The Green Earth Pan by Ozeri is made of the highest quality die-cast aluminum that allows for even cooking and fantastic browning without hot spots. It boasts a magnetized bottom for rapid heat transfer on induction stoves, and a heat resistant silicone coated handle. 

This version of the Green Earth Pan features a textured ceramic cooking surface. The elevations of the textured cooking surface create air pockets which distribute heat underneath food to enhance cooking performance. 

The pan comes with a protector just in case you want to stack it. We hand ours, so I'm not sure if this part will be used in our house. It's still nice they have it. 

The only thing this pan is missing is a lid. I like having a lid for my pans. We do have one that fits it.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed. GREBLON ceramic made by Weilburger GmbH, Germany. Final assembly is in China.

Random Tid Bits

1. I burnt the bottom of a pan this week - yuck! I could not scrub the burnt stuff off. I said to Daddy, "I bet vinegar will clean it, but I'm going to look on the internet first. Sure enough vinegar played a part. Cover the bottom of the pan with water, add just as much vinegar as water, and boil. Remove the pan from the heat, and over the sink add 2 Tablespoons of Baking Soda. It will fizz! Use a scouring pad, clean that burnt crap out. If it's really suborn make a paste with Baking Soda and scrub some more.


2. I don't use cleaners anymore. Well hardly anyhow. What do I use to clean with? Orange, lemon, lime, or clementine peelings steeped in vinegar for a few weeks.





3. We keep an ongoing compost pile. Our winter load is 3/4 of a huge trash can. I'm ready for it to warm up, so I can dump it. I've thought about indoor composting for the winter time, but I'll have to look into it more. It seems to me that it would take up some room that we don't have.

Some great things about composting: We go through less trash, our trash doesn't stink as fast, it's great for the soil, and the garden.

Do you keep a compost pile?


4. A new store in San Fransisco opened up where they are selling seeds by the register instead of gum. How cool would that be? I'd love if some stores would rethink what they put up at the checkout.

5. Our diet is going good. I've lost 8 pounds (I'm writing this Monday, so I may have lost more). Daddy thought we would have lost more weight, but I've read it's better to loose slowly than to loose fast. You're more apt to put weight back on if you loose fast. My stomach has been feeling better with a limited diet. We've exercised every morning for 1/2 an hour. Then at lunch time if I'm not doing errands I fast walk around the building. Slowly we'll add foods back in. So far berries, apples, and beans have been added back into our diet. What I really want to stay off of as much as possible is sugar and milk products. Our boys still consume those things though. They to are getting more greens though.

WW: Green {Linky}

I made green Crêpes with sliced bananas and chocolate sauce The morning of St. Patty's Day. The sides were: spinach, almonds and a banana, flax seed, peanut butter smoothie.

Then the boys wanted their hair sprayed green. That was Mica's idea.
