Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot more about the impact my clothes have on the planet.

The fashion industry is changing and sustainable fashion is finally getting the spotlight. But there’s still so much misinformation around it, so I wanted to clear a few things up.

💚 “Eco-friendly clothes are too expensive”
Not true. They may cost more than fast fashion, but they’re far from unattainable. You’re paying for quality, fair production, and pieces that actually last.

💚 “Ethical fashion isn’t stylish”
I used to think this too, until I saw how far sustainable fashion has come. These pieces are stylish, authentic, and don’t feel like everyone else is wearing the same thing.

💚 “Buying sustainable means I’m doing enough”
The biggest lesson I’ve learned? Buying less matters most. Choosing fewer, longer, lasting pieces makes a real difference.

Becoming a more conscious consumer is a journey, and for me, sustainable clothing is one step in the right direction.

Frugal Eating Challenge

We’re continuing to eat what we already have at home—and turns out our freezer was packed with tortillas. So voilà… Enchilada Casserole 🙌

If you love enchiladas but get discouraged by all the rolling and assembling, this casserole is your answer. Same flavors, way less work. Instead of filling and rolling tortillas, you just layer everything in a baking dish and let the oven do the rest.

I usually make the filling with beans and whatever veggies I have on hand—always some greens like kale or spinach, and sometimes mushrooms if they’re around. Simple, flexible, and budget-friendly ✨

Enchilada Casserole

Veggie Filling
• 2 Tbsp vegetable broth
• 2–3 Tbsp salsa
• 1 cup yellow onion, minced
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ cup corn
• 1 cup spinach or kale, chopped
• 1 (15.5 oz) can black or kidney beans, drained & rinsed
• 11 corn tortillas

Creamy “Cheese” Sauce (Dairy-Free)
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ¼ cup nutritional yeast
• ½ tsp salt (or more to taste)
• ⅓ cup raw cashews
• 1 cup almond milk

Homemade Enchilada Sauce
• 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
• 1 (8 oz) can tomatoes
