How to Make Recycled Toilet Paper Roll Race Cars

After tossing countless empty toilet paper rolls into the recycling bin, we decided to upcycle them into new objects. First on our list, recycled toilet paper roll race cars. My son’s first idea was that they needed to be designed to fit a LEGO mini-figure at the wheel. What we discovered is race cars are fun no matter what – even if they’re made from items from the recycling bin. Jump over to Inhabitots to learn how to make these simple recycled race cars today.

How to Bake Organic Vegan Whole-Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies

One of my favorite memories growing up is making peanut butter cookies with my mom – they are her favorite! Now, as a mom myself I cherish making peanut butter cookies with my own child. In our home, our favorite peanut butter cookie recipe is one that we have updated to be organic, whole-wheat and vegan – because making a cookie that is a little bit better for your child and the environment, only makes it that much sweeter! Jump over to Inhabitots to learn how to make these simple cookies.

P.S. The Mister said these are THE best peanut-butter cookies he has ever had!
