035: How To Preserve Food Like a Pro

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists, we get into the nuts + bolts of canning excess food so as to reduce food waste.

If you’re serious about sustainability, I’m willing to bet you’re also serious about reducing food waste. 

Preserving food at home is the epitome of sustainability. That’s because canning eliminates the need for pesky supermarket packaging or plastic + relies instead on (reusable + awesome) mason jars. 

A little-known secret? Preserving food at home also saves serious cash.

That’s where today’s guest comes in. She’s a homesteader + canning expert who has gotten quite creative in the kitchen as a means of slashing into food waste + saving money. She’s gotten *so* good, in fact, that her grocery bill averages just $30 per week.

My guest this week is Heather Harris of The Homesteading Hippy. Heather’s here to offer her best kitchen tips.

Enjoy!

How To Let Stuff Go

When we let go of what doesn't serve us, we remove weight that holds us down. On today's show we turn to Zen Buddhism for wisdom on letting go of anxiety about the future, grudges, stuff, dead relationships, and more.

Here's a preview:

[4:00] Insanely anxious about the future? (Me too!) Don't spend your energy worrying; do this instead

[12:00] Think of decluttering not as throwing stuff away; think of it instead as setting your stuff (and yourself!) free

[19:00] How to let go of lost friendships and relationships, straight from the mouths of Buddhist monks

[26:00] Holding a grudge requires vast amounts of energy so become skilled at forgetting

[34:00] You're going to get to where you're meant to go, so there's no need to second-guess your choices
