Video: Composting 101
We love composting. We love it so much that I made a short little video all about how much we love it. Here are a few links that I found to be extremely helpful when I started backyard composting: Reduce.org has a great section dedicated to composting. This was super helpful at dispelling composting myths while proving composting can be easy. The City of Minneapolis has a good explanation of how to add ingredients to your compost bin and create...

Family Favorites: Fruit + Nut Snack Bars
Today has been a crazy day that included trips to both Target and Whole Foods. I think I need a nap. It’s days like today that I need a healthy portable snack for both Matthew and I that does not require refrigeration and can be enjoyed while strolling the grocery store aisles. In the past I would have reached for an overpriced, prepackaged protein bar. Nowadays, I like to save money by making my own. Disclaimer: Yes, I do keep a stash of... Read More
Family Favorites: Snack Muffins
A dear friend of mine, Natalie, has a son who is three weeks younger than Matthew. Prior to becoming a mom, she relied on simple meals to feed herself and her husband; however now that she is feeding a youngling, she has been revamping their diets to focus more on sustainable, organic fare that is quick and easy to prep while an energetic toddler is scooting around the condo. Recently, she asked me for tips, tricks and recipes that she could make... Read More

You may recall that a couple weeks ago we hosted an ecofriendly, clean living party with the goal of only producing one bag of landfill-bound trash.

Autumn in a Bowl
The air is crisp. The sun is lower. The sumac is red. Autumn is approaching. There is a grin on my face. Last week’s lows in the 50′s (!) had me craving pumpkin. I will confess that early last week I used our last can of reserved pumpkin; horrified, I immediately went to Target and bought 3 additional cans of organic pumpkin. There is now only one can left in the cupboard. I must buy more. Regardless of our pumpkin consumption, I have... Read More

¡Olé!
Last week I was challenged by Foodbuzz and GLAD to host an event that generated only ONE BAG of landfill-bound trash. Participant received a trash management kit, a consultation with a waste management expert and a stipend to cover the expenses of their One Bag event. Allan and I racked our brains on the type of event we would like to host and decided that it was only natural that we throw a party for my birthday, which is on Monday. Do you like Allan's...
