The Green Refrigerator Machine by Ozonator Product Review

Our family made a change in the way we eat this year.  We have been transitioning to eating more whole foods.  This has been a great change for us healthwise but it has not been a great change with the grocery budget.  The amount I spend on groceries has definitely gone up!  I still shop sales and there are some coupons available for healthy, whole and/or organic products but there is still a significant increase in the amount I spend on groceries each week. 

One of the most frustrating things about whole foods is they spoil a lot quicker than processed foods so I was very excited to try out the Green Refrigerator Machine by Ozonator.

The Green Refrigerator Machine by Ozonator:

• Eliminates odors in your refrigerator. 
• Keeps food fresher longer. 
• Promotes a Clean Environment in your refrigerator. 

There is more information available on the Green Refrigerator Machine Facebook page.

After having the Green Refrigerator Machine in my refrigerator for 24 hours, I immediately noticed that the odors were gone!  We went on vacation last Wedndesday and I left some grapes in the refrigerator that were purchased one week earlier and they were still fresh when we arrived home on Saturday.  I am really excited to see if the Green Refrigerator Machine will help us save money on the grocery budget by keeping foods fresher longer.


The Green Refrigerator Machine by Ozonator would make a perfect Christmas gift!  The regular retail price is $49.95 but right now you can purcahse a Green Refrigerator Machine for only $39.95.

 

 

Disclosure: I received a Green Refrigerator Machine by Ozonator through Mom Select  to review on my blog.   The opinions in this post are my own and were not influenced in any way.  I receive a small comission for each Ozonator that is sold from the link in this post.

Grandma Morgan's Molasses Cookie Recipe

Grandma Morgan's Molasses Cookies

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Sugar
• 1/4 cup Molasses
• 3/4 cup Shortening (I prefer the butter flavor shortening.)
• 1 Egg
• 2 cups Flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon All Spice
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Mix together in a bowl the sugar, molasses, shortening & egg. Slowly add in the flour, baking soda, salt & all spice. Shape the dough into a large ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours (or freezer for 15-20 minutes).

Form dough into balls and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. This recipe makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.

White Cloud Meringue Cookie Recipe

This is my absolute favorite Christmas Cookie recipe. My grandmother made them for me almost every Christmas.

White Cloud Meringue Cookies

 

Ingredients:

• 5 Egg Whites
• 1 2/3 cups Sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons Vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
• 3/4 package Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whip egg whites until frothy. Add sugar slowly and whip until stiff.   This can be done by hand (warning:  your arms will be tired!) or with a mixer (Love my Kitchen Aid!) Whip in vanilla & cream of tartar. 

Fold in the chocolate chips. 

Place spoonfuls of meringue on a foil lined cookie sheet.

Place cookie sheet in the preheated oven. Turn off the oven and leave cookies in the oven until completely cooled or overnight. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR until the cookies have completely cooled or they will be ruined!!! No peeking.

I like to make these at night and then leave them in the oven overnight. If you do this, make sure and leave a note on the oven door so that you don't forget there are white cloud cookies in the oven and accidentally turn on the oven and create a blackened, smoking, burned cookie mess! Don't ask me how I know this ; )
