How (Exactly) to Cook Zero Waste Meals

 

If you’re like most eco-friendly parents, you’d like to cook zero-waste, plastic-free meals for your family, but you’ve realized that doing so is much harder than it sounds.

Does this sound right?

– Feeding your family demands significant mental energy. Although you’d like to serve low-plastic, zero-waste meals, you have no idea where to start.

– You eat out more than you’d like; you spend more money than your wallet likes on restaurant food, too.

– Weeknights are hectic so you cut corners to ease your burden in the form of frozen pizza + other highly-processed foods. The result? Extra pounds.

– You know that with a bit of planning + forethought you could do better.

I’ve experimented with my meal strategy for the past year. In that time, I have tweaked my method and updated my routine to reflect my low-plastic, zero-waste principles.

On today’s show I’m thrilled to divulge exactly how I feed my family 3 times a day. I offer up some of my family’s favorite zero-waste meals, too.

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
