Diva Detergent

"Good old fashioned homemade laundry detergent. No colourants, perfumes - and the only smell is clean! Make sure to use rubber gloves to mix this together, and store in a sealed container. The ingredients should be available in the laundry aisle of large grocery stores."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
