Pro-Organics Mean Pro Environment

When we talk about organics, it also connotes getting natural and environment friendly. When it comes to protecting the environment, it also means recycling. That's why most natural and organic stores really have a place to drop off bottles of products already used.

In my case, a lot has been kept in a plastic of all my empty containers. I wanted to donate it to the Pre-school program of Gawad Kalinga since I remember way back that the teachers are taught to recycle materials and make it a creative learning tool for class. I asked one of the program heads if they still recycle materials as one of their teaching tools and the response was positive. So, I left some of my empty containers one Saturday.

So, there you go, I did not only help protect the environment, I also helped in one of the programs for the poor communities. :-)

Making Natural Salsa From Scratch

Geeezzz..It feels so loooong time ago that I have written again in this blog! I actually have a lot to write about when it comes to organic, natural, health and wellness topics but a lot of things are happening which cannot really be avoided and though it's exhausting yet fulfilling as well. But once again, pictures are limited too!

So, the first thing I'm gonna write is about dips or salsa! Yum! There was one time that we hanged out at one of my friends' house who served us chips and a dip. It really tastes good! The dip was just composed of parsley, lots of tomatoes, onions and cooking oil. My friend suggested that it would taste better with olive oil. The next week, I bought some ingredients and of course the olive oil. I experimented the recipe however, I felt it did not taste as much good as my friend's but when I brought some at the office, they love it! for me, it looks and tastes overcooked. So, once I have the time again to make it I'll make sure I'll perfect it and be proud of my creation! Hopefully too, I can derive another veggie sauce recipe for the pasta too!

Cheers to health! :-)
