liquid Laundry Soap I am including a link to the web site I got my laundry soap recipe from. I like this one because it has a pictorial and sometimes you just need that step by step slide show ( ok I do lol) I have made this a few times ( double and tripling the recipe) I really like it a lot but found the powder to be faster. Both work well and neither suds up. Making Homemade Laundry Soap

powder Laundry Soap 1 cup Borax powder 1 cup Arm & Hammer Washing powder ( NOT baking soda or detergent ) 1/2 bar washing soap ( Fels Naptha, Octagon,Zote ) *Ivory soap can be used also but use whole bar Shred bar soap, mix together with measured powder and store in a covered container. Use 2 tablespoons per load. (This is makes almost NO suds but works GREAT. If hubby has really grubbed up some clothes I add another tablespoon of Borax to the load) This averages out to about a penny a load (really) The picture below is pretty much the set up I use but I have never tried that pure and natural bar soap.

Welcome to 30 Day Gourmet's Freezer Cooking Online Manual. . . Here's a great site to pick up ideas. Keep in mind that you may not find low fat etc but just to get ideas to get started ya'll may find it helpful :cursing:

I have freezer cooked for many years now but for reasons I am not sure of....I didn't think to freeze single servings. I feel so.....dorkish. Thanks Love for the great idea ( duhing myself )

1/4 to 1 cup pending on how my fills are going.

Very interesting Thanks for sharing!!!!!

I'm excited for you! :cursing: Good-luck on your journey !

Time will FLY!!! Good-luck to you! :cursing:

I am gonna post that along with some others later this evening when I come home from work :cursing: Besides being good for the environment and SOOO cheap the cleaning supplies I have been making are all natural so the strong chemical smell isn't in the house. I am the caregiver for both my mom and mother-n-law ( they both live with me) and both have breathing issues. I don't have to worry so much when I use these.

Put some duct tape on that "little voice" hehehe

*SMH* Bless YOUR heart too Cota. Good - Luck to you also. Both are in my thoughts and prayers

I am a sloucher myself....always have been. :smile2: It is hard to get out of it but I KNOW I look so much better ( and smaller) when I STAND UP STRAIGHT!!!! LOL

I always feel kinda blah too after a fill. The last one was enough to make me think I would get a fill on my day off only and not early in the morning then come on into work

YES I have had the same issue!

It's NEVER to late! :smile2:

I would not let the situation go! I would report him, report him report him!!! There is no reason to be treated so bad let alone the filth that this was to take place!

I eat low fat or fat free for the most part BUT I will eat full fat Ranch dressing sometimes because I like it much better. I would not "freak" if I could not get something in fat free or low fat ( like out to eat)

Hey there! I was curious if anyone out there makes their own laundry soap/cleaning supplies? I have been making my own laundry soap for some time and it works great and has saved me a TON of money! I started branching out and making my own cleaning supplies, chemical free which is great for the environment and my wallet! I am looking for a recipe for home made dishwashing detergent for the dish washer. I have not read any good reviews on the ones I have found on line. If you do anything that is frugal or environmental I would love to share ideas! Thanks! * I'm a dork I know* :biggrin2:

Tiger do you have to do a liquid diet before surgery? That should take care of your 20 pounds. I know I had to do 14 days of liquids and YES 20 came off! Good-luck to you!

Rumor has it that banana helps with this, takes the burn out

Hey there !! Yes it can be a drag til you get to eat "real" food again but hang in there! Time flies and you will be so very pleased :smile2: Good-luck to you!

HEEEEEEEY good - luck to you! Welcome to the board! It's a great place to learn and get support! Let us know how your doing!?!

It gets better YES!! Also remember that you are building muscle which weighs more then fat! Can you tell you have weight loss by how your clothes are fitting or what not?

I am sorry to hear you are having such problems! I would hope between the two doctors you could find some help. Good-luck to you!

Jack is right on with what he said. I do understand your panic to a degree because after I got stuck I didn't want to relive it so I kinda freaked at meal time too BUT on the other hand what Jack said is what happened for me "changed behavior" Start slow and take just a bite or two, chew to a paste and see how it goes. Good -luck!
