Organic Waffles-Fun to Eat & Fun to Make This has to be the greatest invention since they put wheels on a suitcase. The Batter Blaster is pancake/waffle mix in a pressurized can (kind of like whip cream or cheez wiz). Not only is the product organic but it tastes great.

Like Patagonia but More Stylish This is a new clothing line based in Portland that makes casual clothing using recycled and environmentally friendly fabrics. I recently ordered some yoga pants and t-shirts and love the fabrics and style. The only downside is that they are a bit pricey.

I have used...
