I interviewed Peter about his lunches and wrote about all the reusable gear we used to make packing lunch waste-free.
Ideas for living green in the big apple and beyond
Whole30: We’re done! Or is it just the beginning?
Here’s what we were eating the last two days of the Whole30.
Whole 30: Week 4, we’re almost there
Just a few short weeks ago I was wondering how on earth I would make it through 30 whole days without dark chocolate and honey, or the occasional sarsaparilla soda (yum…). Now I’m wondering if I’ll ever go back. I feel great. All the flavors in different vegetables are tasting better and better and I’m [...]
Food for thought on grains
According to the FDA, you should eat three or more servings of whole grains daily. If you’ve switched to whole grains or are thinking about it, please read this first.
Whole30: Breezing along through week 3

We went from the huge stack of prefold diapers on the left to the tiny stack of organic prefold diapers on the right. Typically, the 30 diapers last us a week before I have to wash them. They hang [...]
Homemade sausage
I love to make my own sausage. Starting with pasture-raised ground pork and adding my own herbs and spices means we can control exactly what is in our sausage and try out new flavor combinations. Here are two of my favorites, based on recipes from The Spicy Sausage. One of the meals in our first [...]
Whole30: We made it through the first week!
Before starting the Whole30 I had serious concerns about my ability to make it 30 full days without any dark chocolate. I wasn’t sure if it was the chocolate itself, the sugar or the caffeine. I quickly realized it was the sugar. I had been eating a mostly Paleo diet for several months but didn’t realize [...]
