This month's challenge is repair and upcycle. Repairing and upcycling are basically the art of using old items in new ways. You can do this with so many items around your home—and even more, if you have a little bit of imagination. It's a great way to save money and reduce waste, but it's also just a really fun way to get creative with your belongings. ♻️

If you're feeling really crafty this month, you can even use upcycled materials to make costumes for Halloween! You can find all kinds of great tips online about making costumes out of things like old clothing and cardboard boxes. 🎃 But even if you don't have time for that kind of project right now, there are plenty of other ways to repurpose things around your house this month.

Are you ready to join the #zerowastechallenge?

Hey there, fellow food adventurer! 🌿🍽️ Ready to take your kitchen skills up a notch and make your dishes dance with flavor?

Here's the scoop on how to use spices and herbs to add that fancy touch to your cooking:

1. Herbs are leaves that are used fresh in cooking. They usually have a very distinct flavor and aroma, so it's easy to tell when you've added too much. Some common herbs include rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, parsley, cilantro, mint and dill.

2. Spices are dried seeds or fruits that have been ground into powder or paste form. Spices are best when they're whole or freshly ground—the flavor degrades over time as they age. Some common spices include cinnamon sticks; cloves; nutmeg; paprika.

3. Herbs and spices can be used interchangeably in most recipes—they will taste different than if you'd used them alone but they'll still add plenty of flavor! Happy cooking!
