96. Same here - bake sourdough bread every week

Tue Sep 2, 2025, 12:52 PM

Tuesday

Make my own tortillas & pizza crust with sourdough too. Make my own kombucha and grow mini tomatoes & greens - now outside but soon plants will go in my south windows for winter.

I have an ice cream maker but also so many recipes online for making ice cream very simply without one.

Glyphosate levels in cereals - including organic. “ Moms Across America uses the **Health Research Institute Laboratories** in Fairfield, Iowa, for their testing. This accredited laboratory conducts tests for glyphosate, pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants in food and other samples. “

“Over 90% of popular American cereal brands tested positive for glyphosate residue.

Kashi Cocoa Clusters Organic – 23.53 ppb
Cascadian Farm Honey Nut Cereal Organic – 22.05 ppb
