take that stain and shove it!

based on today's posts, i have turned into martha stewart!! hardly. i cannot take ownership for this next tip. my girlfriend alison told me all about it.

oxy clean is the best product for taking out stains. like hard core stains that are in clothes that have been spot treated and gone thru the dryer and still did not come out. it is more than just adding the oxy clean to your wash. a few simple steps:

1. boil a pot of water until
2. EVER-SO-SLOWLY add the oxy clean. (NOTE: i dumped in the measuring cups worth all at once and it was a volcanic eruption - it was BAD!)
3. turn of stove and add clothes (whites and/or colors)
4. let soak for about an hour, stirring on occasion
5. wash and dry clothes like normal

your stains will be removed, the colors on the clothes won't be jeopardized, and your whites will glow!

greek yogurt!

i am on a greek yogurt kick. there is this amazing brand called "chobani". their yogurts are amazing. they taste like cream cheese with fruit in it. the pomegranate flavor has real pieces of pomegranate in it! they even have kid's yogurt too. the best part is that there is 20-25 grams of protein in each yogurt. crazy right? and it tastes good. no wonder my kid is almost 27 lbs and the tallest kid in gym class!!

today instead of using cream cheese for a dip, i use the plain yogurt. you couldn't tell the difference. instead of using oil and eggs for a cake, i used the yogurt! a little less guilt and the same taste.

thought that i would share :)
