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!

Beyond the Beige

We’ve all seen the images. The stark white rooms, the single designer chair, the perfectly curated capsule wardrobe. We’re told that if we just clear the clutter, we’ll find peace. 

But if we’re not careful, the minimalist aesthetic can become just another thing to buy, another thing to consume. 

On today’s show, Melora Johnson deconstructs the modern minimalist movement so that each of us can move from the clutter-free, beige-everything  minimalist aesthetic to a deeper, more sustainable practice rooted in intentionality.

Here’s a preview:
