Love List

It's a fresh new year and I'm feeling really good energy about this year for reasons I have yet to be aware of. 2017 seemed like it would be rough and I didn't have high hopes going into it honestly, but this year feels fresh for some reason. For no good reason yet, it just …

Mind Your Own Bee’s Wrap

I'm always on the hunt for easy, fun ways to be a slightly better human. One such way is cutting back on single use plastic. It just ends up in the trash a few days later and is trashing the planet for basically ever - totally not awesome. Cling wrap makes life convenient by covering …

Zucchini Cantaloupe Summer Salad

I've been posting up a lot of zucchini recipes lately because that's what's growing in the garden. Feel free to use a cucumber instead if you like those guys better.

Turtle Snacks: Edible Six Pack Rings

So, I'm sure you've seen it - those terrible photos of sea creatures choking on plastic six pack rings. They get wrapped around necks and confused for food each and every time they end up floating out to sea. For me, it doesn't get sadder. I'm not sure why I feel so much for these …

Zoodles with Classic Tomato Sauce

This one hits the spot. Pasta with tomatoes are what I grew up on, so this extra healthy variation is a sneaky way to feel the joy of comfort foods while still filling yourself up with tons of nutrients. It's best when you can pick the ingredients fresh from the garden, but this quick recipe …

Lush: Making Use of Ocean Plastic

Most of us already know how taxing ocean plastic is on our ecosystem.
