Did you know…. 🧐

“Did you know: Certain foods omit ethylene gas, a hormone which speeds up the ripening — and rotting — of the unsuspecting piece of produce sitting next to it. 👀 Why do we care? In the U.S. alone, over 30% of food grown and purchased each year is thrown away, with improper food storage alone resulting in an astronomical amount of waste (RIP slimy spinach).

Wasted food also has a negative environmental impact; wasted food means wasted water, fertilizer, growing resources as well as extra methane gas in the atmosphere from the rotting food in landfills. You can waste less food by growing your own and using it straight off the vine.

If you want an easy way to reduce food waste by growing your own, lets talk!! The Tower Garden is an amazing waste reducer! 🌱

Join the squad and be part of the solution. I’ll help you grow easily enough you’ll have enough to share, donate, gift and be a hero in your commUNITY.

Had you been in my cooking class series, this would have been this weeks’ lesson.
Southwest tofu scramble and Socca, both hearty dishes, and the Socca is from the South of 🇫🇷 and both make great break fast anti-inflammatory dishes.
A shake of any of the cheeses by makes these dishes sing arias, and today I used the (not) feta crumbles and coconut bacon on the Socca - sucks for you if you’re not eating THIS well, but I can help!





Happy holy- days to one and all!

Your kids might beg you for those toxic egg dyeing kits but if you're not about that life check out this alternative solution. 🐣

Let simmer for 30 minutes, and then remove pot from burner. Be sure to strain the dye, and let sit until it's room temperature before dipping your eggs 🥚
