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!

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: 

[7:30] Feeling that donation high? Here’s why decluttering and donating feels so good in the moment but often fails to stop the cycle of re-accumulation

[11:30] Can authentic minimalism exist in a consumerist culture?

[16:00] Candid thoughts on how and why minimalism has been commercialized

[25:00] How to tell if your minimalism is driving more shopping or actually shrinking your ecological footprint
