We spent the morning getting some goodies from the local bakery (spinach-feta croissant for me, blueberry walnut scone for him) and happy morning beverages (caramel Americano with cream for me, coffee with cream for him) and doing a littleRead the whole post >>

It seems like a silly question to me, since I don’t feel as though avoiding meat is particularly difficult and I just…don’t eat meat.  *shrugs shoulders* I dunno.Read the whole post >>

How Chocolate Chips Inspired Me to Reduce our Waste.

Filed Under: Green Living & Sustainability 1 Comment

On Monday, Mike and I (and Gabe, our trusty sidekick) went to the bulk foods store to get him some popcorn, which he eats by the pound. While there, I decided to get some other staples, like, say, four pounds of chocolate chips: (aaand peanut butter chips. What? I couldn’t say no. And now IRead the whole post >>
