Vegetables that can regrow themselves.

Yes, you read the title correctly. There are indeed thirteen vegetables that can regrow themselves, and pretty much all of them are from a piece or the stem...meaning you can eat most of it and then regrow it again! whaaat! I know, I know, I'll let that sink in. Infinite food supply? possibly. Probable? No. Magical? Most definatly. It's probably much easier to go to the grocery store, and you will probably die if you depend on the regrowth on eating...but it's fun to watch! And it's a fun family activity for kids!

Here are the magical vegetables, click each name to go to instructions on growing  care:

1. Ginger Root
2. Scallions
3. Garlic
4. Sweet Potato
5. Lettuce
6. Bok Choy
7. Carrots
8. Onions
9. Pineapple
10. Basil
11. Lemongrass
12. Avocado 
13. Celery
Some of these take much longer to do...as in ten years longer...but a year you can easily do in your kitchen. I have green onions growing in a beer pint on top of my stove. It grows like a weed!

I'm a sucker for stuff like this.


Peace.

Easy homemade Alfredo Sauce


This makes about enough for one person, maybe two depending on how saucy you like your paste!
I made this with chicken and penne noodles! It's one of my favourite dishes.

Get all the sauce ingredients, and mix! Set aside for when the chickens cooked.

First, boil the noodles! - don't forget about them once you start cooking the chicken or tofu. I boil the water, add the noodles and put on medium low covered. Then I just continually try the noodles until their done.

Cook the chicken! I precut mine into two bit pieces and cook them on the stove to on medium until their no longer pink in the middle.





And then I turn up the heat and cover for five to ten minutes!



Add the sauce to the chicken until it's heated up, and add to the noodles! 



Okay, so I put them straight into tupperware because this is my dinner for work. Who says tupperware isn't photograph friendly?

The perfect Alkaline food chart

Let's all just take a moment and thing about how absolutely perfect this chart is! If you're every wondering what's healthier and what to not eat every day, this is for you! I think everyone should print this off and hang it on their fridge with confetti around it.


So wonderful! I fell off the healthy bandwagon but I'm trying to get back on! And by the end of this year I will be a FULL VEGAN LIFESTYLE!  *throws confetti*
