Who knew? Recycled sports shoes!

I was reading Karen's post over at Journey of a Quilter about a "Going Green Challenge", which inspired me to do a google search about recycling.

While searching this web site caught my eye about recycled sports shoes sponsored by NIKE. They grind them up into what they call Nike grind to make sports surfaces, I just thought it was interesting enough to share. Did you know they recycle shoes? .

I am taking a break from Bonnie's "Double Delight" mystery quilt this afternoon,

there has been a lot of sewing going on.
I do have the 140 nine patch blocks finished but I am still trimming the 240 square in square blocks. I just have to stop for awhile.

Then while waiting for the morning snow fall to melt, (so I can venture out for a much needed Costco trip) I baked

Cranberry Muffins.

This is a Weight Watchers recipe with a point value of 2.

1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup old fashion oatmeal
1/4 cup sugar

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup fat free yogurt

1/4 cup fat free milk

2 tbsp egg substitute

1 Tbsp margarine melted

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup dried cranberries

Combine dry ingredients, make a well in the center.

Whisk remaining ingredients together, fold into dry ingredients stir just til blended.

Fold in cranberries. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each 2/3 full.

Bake for 25 minutes at 400.

I stated above the WW point value to be 2, mine will be a little less as I forgot the sugar.

Hey they are still pretty tasty.

Happy Quilting!
