The Tower Garden

This is something that my family and I will be investing in next month. It is cost affordable and with very little effort you will be able to grow your own fruits, vegetables and herbs. It is super easy and very affordable! 

The website to learn more about the Tower Garden by Juice Plus is www.JKeller.TowerGarden.com
When you open the website, click on Learn More, then click on left Photos & Videos and watch the time lapse video of how quickly you can grow your food in just 3-4 weeks to maturity.
Tower Garden Basic Package is $499.99 and is paid for in 12 equal installments of $43/month, plus $50 to ship, interest free.
Check out the online store to see the accessories you can get for your tower. If you want to grow tomatoes, there is a tomato cage you can add. If you want to add two more canisters to add 8 more plants to the same tower, order the extension kit. The only thing you will have to buy more of after you pay it off is the Tower Tonic which costs about $3.50/month to maintain a residual garden all year round.

Either way, Tower Gardening is fascinating and you won't be able to stop talking about it with others. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

• 3 TBL cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 4 dashes sea salt
• 1 very thin slice of a red onion, slightly chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 4 thin slices of tomato
• 2 TBL+1 TBL balsamic vinegar, divided
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 TBL butter
• 4 slices pepper jack cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. In one bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
3. In another bowl, mix the egg yolks, cream cheese and stevia. Fold the egg whites gently into the yolk mix, being careful not break it down.
4. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, scoop the mixture into 4 even rounds.
5. Sprinkle a dash of sea salt on each round and 1/2 tsp garlic powder on each round. On two of the rounds (the tops), sprinkle half the onion and 1/4 cup of mozzarella on each.
6. Bake on middle rack for 30-35 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
7. In a bowl, combine the olive oil and 2 TBL of balsamic vinegar. Add the zucchini, yellow squash and red pepper. Set aside.
8. In a small skillet, heat the butter and remaining balsamic vinegar over medium-high heat. Saute the mushrooms until they are brown and tender. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
9. Remove the vegetables from the marinade and grill them until they are golden and tender. (Or you can saute them)
10. On the bottom pieces of the cloud bread, layer each with 2 slices of pepper jack cheese, 2 slices of tomato, the grilled vegetables and the mushrooms. Top with the cloud bread tops and enjoy.
