Sheila Coates 4/22/2023 12:09 PMToday I joined in with two separate groups. The first was clearing off flower beds at the art center and the second was collecting trash at waterworks park with two kids I occasionally babysit for. We got 3 garbage bags full (one for each of us of trash and we found one easter egg containing a certificate for a pizza. It was really cold here. The water bottles we found contained ice. -
Sheila Coates 4/16/2023 3:49 PMI want to make little changes that will add up. While trying to decide to join this group, I tried a new recipe--cauliflower crust veggie pizza. I'm thinking that qualifies as a conservation attempt, even though it's not a recipe I'll try again! (OK, I'm not a chef by ANY means!)-
JR Jackson 4/16/2023 4:54 PMI've tried a cauliflower pizza crust recipe. It didn't go well as pizza crust, but it was quite tasty baking it, slicing the crust, and using it with a veggie dip with avocado slices.
