  • How To Keep Produce Lasting Longer

    I’ve been stepping away (or more like leaping away) from processed, boxed foods and bringing in more whole fresh foods, but there has been one side-effect that’s hard to deal with: food wastage. The thing is, an apple will not last as long as a jar of apple sauce… and we often end up with…

  • Turn Your Halloween Pumpkin Into Soup

    I love the look of a carved pumpkin on halloween, it’s a time honored tradition, but it feels a bit like a waste of a good soup. Me, I want to have my pumpkin and eat it too! I collected these creepy bugs from the Biodiversity Library and printed them out onto vellum paper, which is semi-transparent.…

  • Mid-Day Healthy Raw ‘Chocolate’ Shake

    2 pm… that’s right around the time when I start to crave something to eat. I broke away from work in search of  a snack, but got distracted along the way to the kitchen. I spotted my camera and began photographing little corners of my home. It’s nice to take time to admire the things…
