038: What’s for Dinner?

2018-09-18 Mama Minimalist

“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!

How Many Jeans Do You Own?

Denim jeans were once the preferred trouser for cowboys in the American west; some decades later, they became a symbol of rebellion for non-conformist teens. These days jeans are all about comfort and casual style, and the average American woman owns 7 pairs. And yet blue jeans also happen to have one of fashion's biggest environmental footprints.
