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!
