We are in a cornbread phase right now! We are enjoying our yellow, blue, and green corneals. We use Barton Springs Mill cornmeal in fresh homemade cornbread. I’ve been baking about one loaf per week. We modified a recipe from Bless This Mess so it doesn’t require cast iron or butter and we really love…
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!

Reuse an oven tray as a trivet. This oven rack is from three toaster ovens ago but it has feet so I kept as an excellent trivet for muffins and cupcakes to cool off. The feet raise the rack up to allow air to circulate under the muffins and cool the bottom down. This post…
I’m catching up on blogging with reusable dishes! I’m having a green tea matcha latte and lemon bread at Brentwood Social House blogging this morning. They wash the dishes and I will compost my napkin at home. This is a great local place to get coffee, tea and food. It’s near my son’s school and…
Attending a pizza party? Bag up the boxes and compost them! Austin Recycles will pick up lawn and leaf bags of pizza boxes for you with your curbside compost and the bags are a great way to bring them home. They fit in a passenger seat or the trunk very well. I can fit about…
