Fall tips for zero-waste cooking
As we transition to fall, our family enjoys cooking up more of those warm comfort foods.
Our first year practicing zero-waste cooking, the transition to fall was challenging as we took on more cooking instead of using fresh veggies as the base of all of our meals.
Freezing these 5 things in ice cube trays or larger containers depending on how much is leftover has changed the game!
What other tips do you have for zero-waste cooking?

One obstacle we had to face when starting our zero waste journey was letting go of other people's opinions.
No matter your age, it's not fun to face judgement or ridicule but that concern is even more prevalent for children.
As we started changing our habits, that fear of being weird and doing things differently than the people around us surfaced regularly.
But at some point we learned to embrace + celebrate the weirdness because it's catalyzed soooo many positive changes!
