Biodegradable K Cup Stock Costco Warehouse

January 24, 2015 Our Family 2 Comments

If you are like many coffee drinkers these days a fast world has put you in a position to make a fast cup of coffee and so today you are probably a Keurig owner, however, if you do own the coffee maker you are more than likely looking for a Biodegradable K Cup to take the place of the current pods you are using now. Why?

Despite being named “Fastest Growing Company” by Fortune magazine for the sixth year in a row, Green Mountain (the makers of the popular coffee maker), are also responsible for a trend that is setting the earth-savy – earth loving – eco hip – culture on a spirited push to raise awareness for how “wasteful” the popular k cups really are to the environment, read more about that k cup waste here.

Where can you buy Biodegradable K Cups? Costco!

While shopping at Costco we found that the warehouse does have a stock of San Francisco Bay brand k cups. That means you can use the pods and they are 97% made biodegradable.

Meaning that if you try to recycle, or try to otherwise dispose of the trash created from the coffee pod it does shave bio-degradable properties, in fact, you can then choose to recycle the spent grounds either back into your potting soil and dirt and contribute even more to your eco-friendly lifestyle.
As you can see here the eco pods do not have the complete plastic “cupping” that holds most other brands coffee grounds. Instead the San Francisco Bay have the filter and nothing more! To hold the filter in place there is a “corn ring” secured to the main part of the cup.

Even the bag that you get the coffee in is earth friendly!

How much do the K Cups cost?
Well, for 80 pods at Costco we paid right at $25 making it about .31 cents per cup of freshly brewed coffee!

Beef Round Roast Recipe Slow Cooker

January 22, 2015 Our Family Leave a comment

Sometimes weekday meal planning can be difficult but with a slow cooker recipe and a cut of beef round roast you can put together dinner fairly easy.

This easy to follow recipe requires little work and can be prepared in less than 15 minutes, however, depending on the size of the roast it may require up to 8 hours of cooking time in the pot.

Ingredients:

2-3 carrots
1 bell pepper
1/2 dozen large mushrooms (sliced)
1/4 onion sliced (optional)
3-4 cups beef broth

So, a little tip… if you do not have all of these ingredients try experimenting with some that you do have, just use your imagination, if it doesn’t work then next time you will know not to add particular ingredients.

Easy beef round roast recipe slow cooker style: With pictures provided below!

Directions:

After a thorough rinse, chop all of the vegetables.

Add the veggies to the empty slow cooker.

Wash the mushrooms, slice them with a chefs knife.

Add the sliced mushroom to the pot with the other ingredients.

Place your cut of round roast on top of the other ingredients in the pan.

Add 3-4 cups of beef broth (depending on how big your roast is) adding a little water helps if you need.

Depending on big you round roast is cook on high or medium anywhere from 4-8 hours until tender and cooked thoroughly.

Once the meat is cooked you can remove and serve with the vegetables. Use the juices to make a nice gravy to serve your dinner with!

Easy Roasted Asparagus Side dish recipe

January 21, 2015 Our Family 3 Comments

One of my favorite vegetable side dishes is grilled or baked asparagus and sometimes it takes a simple recipe to make those meals prefect.

This is hands down one of my go to vegetable recipes that is packed full of flavor, fast to prepare, and so easy to make.

If you have kids and need to keep them occupied while you cook asking them to help in the kitchen is great family time and this recipe should be great for them to help with.

Easy Roasted Asparagus recipe:

Ingredients:

Olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, grated parmesan cheese (optional), and a bundle or bunch of asparagus.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450°

Wash clean and snap off the ends of the asparagus, if you need details on this ill add it to another post soon.

Line a baking sheet with foil (for easier clean-up later). Lightly spray the pan with anti stick cooking spray.

In a bowl toss asparagus with a light even coat of olive oil and the rest of the spices. Salt, pepper, and garlic to taste or just lightly if this is your first time preparing the dish.

In one layer lay out asparagus evenly across the baking sheet and bake until the veggie is tender.

Serve as a side and enjoy this fast side dish!
