What's for Dinner?: Homemade Laundry Soap

Now...Do NOT make this for dinner...but because I love you all so much I thought I would share a super fun recipe with you all. Some ladies in my ward make their own laundry detergent and I thought I'd give it a try. It was so easy, works great and is sooo inexpensive. Laundry detergent can be super expensive, so if you want to save some money, try this out...you can thank me later :) Grate the Fels Naptha bar on the small side of the grater (do it on the small side because it saves time later). Put 3 Cups of COLD water in a saucepan. Add grated bar soap to this water and let soak a few minutes to soften. Then, bring the water to a boil, turn to medium heat and cook until it dissolves, stiring the whole time. Make sure you get out any lumps, takes about 10 minutes. Shake bottle each time before using. Use 1/2 Cup per load. This soap doesn't make suds and can be used in front loaders. There's no smell or additives, so its great for sensitive skin. (You can use smelly fabric softners like downy,ect or just good smelling fabric softeners if you want). This is totally inexpensive, seriously ladies...I think it cost about 3-4 dollars to make FIVE gallons of laundry soap, that would cost like $100 if you bought it at the store! I've been using this for a few weeks now and it really works great. Ok so I had the idea many months ago to start this blog, but I am just getting around to it now. I wanted a place where a lot of friends could post recipes that they've made and liked. I'm hoping that in time this will help all of us to be able to spend a little less time stressing about what to make and be able to enjoy making it and eating it more. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but so many days as dinner time is drawing near I can't think of one thing that I actually want to make that night. There are so many delicious recipes out there, but sometimes it's so difficult and frustrating trying to decide what to make for dinner. Life gets so busy, and some nights the last thing you want to deal with is the decision of what to make. Hopefully we can all add a bunch of delicious recipes (main dishes, appetizers, desserts etc.) so that we can all use this blog as a place to get ideas for new things to make and take a little of the stress out of the planning. If you can post a picture with your recipe that would be great, but it's definitely fine to post without pictures too.
