038: What’s for Dinner?

038: What’s for Dinner?

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we discuss the Why + How of meal planning so as to reduce food waste, save money + gain back precious time.

“So, what’s for dinner?”

I *hate* this question; maybe you do, too.Another thing I hate? Food waste. I find myself composting past-its-prime produce more often than I’d like to admit.

While these dueling conundrums may seem mutually exclusive, they actually have an easy, common solution.

That easy solution is meal planning.

This week’s guest – Staci Ducharme – started meal planning + failed. Miserably.

But she tried again + got it right:

* Meal planning got her family out of debt (no more defaulting to take-out!).

* Meal planning ended food waste on her homestead for good, too.

Staci’s a full-time blogger, homesteader + meal planning connoisseur. She’s here to make passionate planners out of all of us by divulging the best tips + tricks others DON’T mention.

Enjoy!

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
