The k cup coffee drinking population has not been more popular than it is today even despite the impact the coffee cups have on the environment,which is the newest controversy rising from the anti pod industry. Environmentalists are now raising the red flag and providing proof of the impact the little coffee pods have on our environment.

Green mountain is the maker of the keurig which has made a commitment to make all pods recyclable by the year 2020. To date there have been enough k cups made that if you lined them all up they would circle the earth multiple times. The impact of this type of waste is obvious which is why keurig owners have the responsibility to make a conscious effort to eliminate the waste created by your morning cup of coffee.

Two things you can do to cut the waste and be environmentally responsible during your daily routine.

1.purchase the reusable k cup pod and refill your your coffee with grounds instead of single use.

2.commit to using only pods that are recyclable, Costco offers one option if you go this route.

Leave a comment

Check out my 5 ingredients you should add to your breakfast oatmeal to make it bulkier. You wake up and are getting ready to start your day but you need a breakfast that is going to stick around with you until you can make it to lunchtime. Yogurt just isn’t doing the trick anymore, sure the living cultures are great for your stomach and your body health but it runs its course in an hour and you are hungry for more! So oatmeal is your backup quick morning breakfast and you can always rely on it to last a little longer in your stomach and packs a little more punch with it to jump start the morning. So, how about oatmeal with a twist!

Add these 5 stunning ingredients to your oatmeal towards the end of the cooking process.

1. Nuts, either pecans or walnuts are best, pieces or whole whatever you like best.

2. Goji berry, adding goji berry transforms your oatmeal into a magical feel good breakfast with the natural effects of the goji for sure to last hours!

3.Seasome seeds, adding seeds to the oatmeal is prefect for extra nutrients! Add as much or as little depending on taste.

4.dried cranberry, prefect for the hint of sweetened tarty Chewy flavor instead of the old standby raisins.

5.1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter for the protein punch!

If you enjoy your breakfast oatmeal sweet try using local honey instead of sugar!
Enjoy!

A pulled pork sandwich and a cold beverage on a Saturday afternoon is a great way to kick off those long summer days! If you have not done so yet check out the crock pot pulled pork recipe so that you can make these awesome sandwiches for your family and friends!

The recipe for easy pulled pork sandwiches is pretty simple once you have the dish made. The ingredients are as complex or as basic as you want! Let your imagination run wild when creating this food for your household.

  • The Recipe:

What you need for the basic Easy pulled pork sandwiches:

  • 1 Prepared dish of pulled pork
    Hamburger buns or your pick of bread rolls, I recommend the pretzel ones as they add a little extra oomph, from the bakery at your local store
    BBQ sauce.
  • Directions:
  • Add the BBQ sauce to the already heated and prepared pulled pork, combine until all of the pork is smothered in the sauce. You can add as much or as little sauce as you want, remember, this is about pleasing your appetite and your taste buds!
    Slice your bread in half and begin to add the pork to each sandwich, again, you can add as much or as little as you want here depending on y9our appetite and guests you are serving.

Enjoy! Remember this is your basic sandwich and you can put anything else in terms of toppings on this dish!
