Last week, I started noticing something really really gross. I’d get a clean set of workout clothes out of my dresser, put them on, start my workout… and then as I began to sweat, my clothes would start to smell really musty and weird. SO GROSS. I can stink on my own, thank you clothes, I don’t need any help! When I work out, I sweat. Seriously. Like, you know when you watch Biggest Loser and you start to get kind of grossed out during the Last Chance Workouts because there’s just grunting and sweat flying everywhere? Yeah, that’s pretty much me. I work out hard. I drip. When I get done, my clothes are saturated. And apparently my ‘normal’, leading brand name detergent just isn’t cutting it for stuff like that. (I intend to switch to a natural detergent for everyday use but I’m having some technical difficulties with that.. namely that we don’t have much to choose from around here, small town and all.)
Then I remembered… back in the cloth diapering days I used Bi-O-Kleen Bac-Out Stain & Odor Eliminator with Live Enzyme Cultures  on the diapers to get the tough stink out. So… why not on workout clothes? So I bought a bottle (my local grocery store actually has it, HOORAY!!), and added it to my workout clothes load along with my normal detergent and hot water. And guess what?! It actually worked. I have been able to exercise without knocking myself out with stink for the past two days. Yay!
BioKleen is all natural and uses live enzymes to actually eat away stains and odors. It works on pet odors, food stains, and obivously, even cloth diapers and really nasty sweaty workout clothes. Plus, it smells nice! No nasty chemical or bleachy smell at all, it’s fresh and citrusy. Their site even says it works on carpets AND it can get rid of mold and mildew. Awesome! I did notice that my grocery store has the Bi-O-Kleen Laundry Liquid also, so I am excited to try that once I am out of my other stuff.
 I bought these on a whim one day, when they were on sale in the natural foods section of my local grocery store. WOW! I went back for more! I have tried several of the Soup Bowls and several of the Noodle Bowls. I love both but I’m really digging the soup bowls! Vietnamese Pho is my favorite of those. I love Pho anyway, I could probably go on and on for pages about my love for Pho, so I will spare you that. (I don’t know, maybe I will get into that another time. Next time I make Pho from scratch, I will let you in on how much I love Pho and why!) Let’s just suffice it to say, this is a nice version considering it takes like three minutes and not an entire day to make. The funny part is that each bowl says it contains two servings. Well, I’m fairly sure that if anyone tried to share my Soup Bowls with me, I’d stab their hand with a fork. They’re too good to split with someone!
Best of all, all Annie Chun’s products are 100% natural. I wish our local store had a larger selection of Annie Chun’s products, there are lots listed on the site that I’ve never seen but would love to try. They’ve even got a recipe section!
We have always called Hailey, “Hailey Buns”, ever since she was a baby. As a result, to this day she firmly believes her name is Hailey Buns Lauren Spangler. Tim even showed her her birth certificate and all that did was get her pissed off that “they got it wrong!!!!”.
We just got this cool chalkboard from Uppercase Living, and I wrote out each kids full name on it. (Or as Keegan said, “wite my word!”) Hailey saw “Hailey Lauren Spangler” and started crying. CRYING. “You didn’t put the Buns in it!!” She quickly erased it and re-wrote it (with minimal help, I might add!) She did leave the ‘L’ out of Spangler but heck… she’s only four! Pretty darn good for a four year old!
 The Buns is big for emphasis, I think.
Have you tried these yet? Earth Grains Thin Buns are so good! We love them for sandwiches and burgers. They’ve got no HFCS, they’re only 100 calories each, and they are 100% natural. Plus, they’re yummy and soft. They have lots of whole grains and 4 grams of fiber. Tim takes a sandwich to work every day using these. The kids and I use them too- sometimes even for grilled cheese!
So, yesterday, I thought I’d try a way to spruce up a grilled cheese using some of that Dalmatia® Fig Spread I told you about about here. This is what I came up with:
 Mmmmmmm! Grilled Cheese with Prosciutto and Fig Spread
1 Earth Grains Thin Bun
butter
shredded cheese of your choice (I used a combo of Fontina and some fresh goat cheese)
2-3 slices of prosciutto
1 tbsp fig spread
handful of mixed greens
Butter both halves of bun. Place bottom in warm pan and layer in this order: cheese, prosciutto, cheese. Spread fig spread on inside of top bun. Top sandwich, grill till crisp and cheese melts, flip and cook other side. Remove from heat. Take sandwich apart and put in greens and put back together.
Enjoy!!
