Plates from coffee cup or tea cup sets are great portions for kids and produce servings. I portion out some of our fruit and veggie servings for the day on these and they’re also great for kids. The two benefits of using these for kids are 1) they’re unpaired anyway so if they get broken…
Banana walnut chocolate chip muffins are my favorite way to use older bananas. My husband likes to make a banana milkshake with them. I haven’t found that bananas freeze well for me or I haven’t done it correctly, they’re snotty and then they have a ton of moisture in them when I use them. So…
Compost Bags have a new look! BioBag changed is box big time to a simple dark green with a French bread loaf on it, but it’s still in the same spot at HEB on the bag aisle. Reminder that you don’t have to use compost bags in Austin’s curbside compost, but if you do they…
Ants on a log, our version. We use carrots and today I had black (raisin) and red (craisin) ants. My son isn’t a big plain raisin guy but he’ll eat them as ants. #kids#kidfood#antsonalog#raisins#craisins
National Apple Day! How do you apple? We like slices and I like applesauce. About once a year I’ll make an apple pie. This is a pretty standard snack for my son at school. An apple, this one is Honeycrisp though he also enjoys Galas, and a homemade muffin. This muffin happens to be pumpkin…
Making bread today. My husband created a recipe that really works for us so we’ve stopped buying grocery store bread and I make this. We all love it and my 8 year old lives to help. Recipe: 240g flour 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking soda 2 tsp yeast 1 tbsp sugar 1/4 tsp cinnamon…
Our Adams Creamy Natural Peanut Butter from Smuckers unboxing. When I made this video it really hit home how much packaging this is. I wish my HEB had not stopped selling this peanut butter that we really like that comes in a glass jar with a metal lid because having it shipped is a lot…
Peaches, Cherries, Apricots oh my! Reuse/Recycle your fruit box Trash the plastic cupping paper. It’s not soft enough to recycle at a plastic bag station and not hard enough for the recycling carts. Eat your fruit, compost or share with critters. #peaches#nectarines#cherries#stonefruit#sustainability#zerowaste#recycleright #CostCo
Water for wildlife, especially pollinators! Reuse wine corks or bottle lids for floats in your birdbath and a birdbath can be a bowl or plate on some kind of stand, it doesn’t have to be officially a birdbath. Rethink items. This way bugs can float and not slip/ drown. Thinkery, the Austin children’s museum, DOES…
Plastic Coolers can’t recycled so please take care of them, donate or share them if you aren’t using them, and keep them maintained and in use. NOTE on the Featured Image: The exterior crack does not affect the cooling aspect of the example cooler so we still use this cooler. TIP: I do not recommend…
