Salt container = Trash. According to the How2Recycle label on my Morton’s Salt, it goes in the trash. It is coated paper so it’s not recyclable or compostable. Keep an eye out for the How2Recycle labels on your salt options and try to find one that is recyclable or compostable but still meets your nutritional…
Early birthday present for me from Comandre Panaderia! So delicious and they use Barton Springs Mill flour, our favorite! This is our second visit and hubby grabbed everything we hadn’t tried the first time. Our 7 year old’s favorite is the red berry concha. I can’t pick a favorite, it’s all great!

I made my own peanut butter cups! All store peanut butter cups have palm oil in them and that’s neither healthy for humans or the orangutans’ habitats that are destroyed for palm oil production. Heads up most baked or prepackaged goods at chain stores have palm oil in them. It seems to be in everything……
Butternut squash, pumpkin, pulpy stuff scooping is made easier with a sugar spoon or grapefruit spoon. I preferred the sugar spoon and the scalloped edges to help scrape the stringy pulp out of my butternut squash. Yes, I did go pull seeds out of my compost after the video for my son to plant for…

Day 6 of Plastic Free July was Avoid Pre-Packaged Produce. This focuses on buying loose or bulk produce instead of plastic-bagged produce. It also encourages you to avoid using plastic produce bags. Personally I would like it if we even avoided using single-use compost bags or paper bags for produce when there are reusable cotton and…

? Got FirehouseSubs to-go containers? If they look like these: cardboard/egg carton type material and tear, they’re compostable. ✒️P.S. I’m not specifically calling out Firehouse Subs, this is just what keeps ending up on my porch. ?If the paper snags a bit like it’s stuck (modern butcher paper), it’s coated in plastic and should be…
Ask you shall receive. I’ve been meaning to add chopsticks to my compost education board of items that can be composted. All food-related wood can be composted: popsicle sticks, kabob sticks or skewers and chopsticks. I don’t have any in the house and I wasn’t sure I had any in my utensil collection bin from…
