Just bc I'm vegan doesn't mean you should take away a women's right to cheese! You feta believe I made my own marinated feta. I've been dying to try this recipe for tofu feta from @jessica_prescott_'s 'Vegan Goodness Feasts' cookbook and you know how fondue I am of DIYing lately. I'd much rather make my own and save waste than make a purcheese of something prepackaged. Not to be cheesy but this is a game changer!! We ate it on top of salads a few times last week and I'm making another batch up as we speak. If you didn't know tofu is made with the exact same process used to make cheese- coagulating milk (soy or otherwise) and pressing the curds into blocks. ♀️So ricotta know it's literally vegan cheese. I've been pinning recipes for marinated cheeses and am just making the recipes vegan with tofu, easy peasy. Next, I'm going to try a basil and garlic marinate bc that couldn't sound like a cheddar pairing to me. The exact measurements are in the cookbook (link in my story- it's one of my most used) but it's a combo of oil, acid, and herbs. So lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and spices. Let sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours. If you make this you're going to be yelling 'nacho cheese!' to anyone who peeks into your fridge. I promise you won't dis a brie, it's so dang good! Have you tried making vegan cheese before? .

We're about to centrally encase this spruce and pine frame with 12" of hempcrete: a bio-composite mixture of hemp hurds, hydrated lime, a pozzolan, and water -which cures up as an insulating monolithic mass. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to build with hempcrete and participate in the construction of Vermont's first hempcrete house. There are a few remaining slots left for our coming Hempcrete Building Workshops that we're hosting from July 26th to August 4th.
Walls 1: https://sevendaystickets.com/events/hempcrete-building-intensive
Walls 2: https://sevendaystickets.com/events/hempcrete-building-intensive-walls-2
Roof +: https://sevendaystickets.com/events/hempcrete-building-intensive-roof
A modern take on an ancient building technique, hempcrete is quickly becoming a viable building system as hemp continues to re-establish its roots across the country. A byproduct of the hemp industry, hemp hurd is combined with lime to create an energy efficient building material that is temperature and moisture regulating, breathable, fire-pest-and mold resistant, carbon sequestering and more. These hands-on workshops will be taught by an experienced hempcrete builder from Canada with 20+ years of industry experience. Come learn all that you need to know for your next construction project, whether it's an outhouse, shed, guest house or dream house! We're excited and grateful to share this opportunity to
build a hempcrete home with you!
In addition to the walls, the first 12'' of our roof cavity will be insulated with hempcrete, forming a continual insulating envelope from wall to roof and eliminating thermal bridging altogether. The spruce and pine sawed for this framed were harvested from a patch of forest on the farm that will one day become crop land, on which hemp could possibly rotate through. #hempcrete #hempcretehome #hempcretehouse #hemphouse #hemplime #hempcretebuilder #naturalbuildings #naturalbuildingworkshop #naturalbuilding #naturalbuildingworks #learnhowtobuild #nontoxichome #energyefficientbuilding #energyefficienthomes #healthyhomes #carbonsequestering #breathablehouse #healthyindoorair #sustainablehome #hempandlime #localtimber
DIY till I DIE. I could go onion and on about my love of a quick pickle. I relish in the fact that it's homemade and I'm saving waste (a vidalia point as it's #plasticfreejuly). ✔️I'm not bringing any new materials into my house (the jars, lids, plastic, & glass from store bought pickles) but also a few of these ingredients were going to go bad so a quick pickle can extend their shelf life for much longer. (♀️Food waste is such a dill breaker.) I tried a few new things today, so here's what we've got going on in my fridge & what I use them for:
⚡️Ginger Pickled Onions: Super versatile, trying out adding ginger this round. Thinly slice 1 red onion, chop 1 inch ginger, add garlic power, 1 tsp sugar (for proper preserving you need sugar), fill jar w white vinegar. Serve on top of tacos, Indian dishes, curry's, or even veggie burgers. Cucumber Salad: Classic flavor. Chop cucumbers, top with rice vinegar, and lots of black pepper. Serve in salads, on a buddha bowl, or on it's own as a side dish.
✨Turmeric Ginger Radishes: Recipe adapted from @crowded_kitchen. Thinly slice radishes, rough chop ginger, add smoked paprika and ground turmeric to jar, top with 1/2 apple cider vinegar and 1/2 white vinegar. Serve on a sandwich, on black bean tacos, or on some avo toast. Pickled Jalapenos: Dulls the spicy. Chop jalapeno, white onion, & garlic, top with white vinegar and a little salt. Serve everywhere, on rice and beans, in homemade hummus, on top of some fries or nachos. ❄️Store in the refrigerator, flavor improves the longer you let them sit but you can eat right away if you're in a pickle.
Not to get jalapeno your business but what are you waiting for? ♀️Combined these take 15-20 minutes to make, that's not shallot of time for such a raddishingly tasty outcome (& no trash!). .

I get so many questions about transitioning over to a holistic & non toxic lifestyle! So I figured I would start making posts on various areas within the household! Here are some simple swaps to make for non-toxic food storage!
—
Give yourself time to get everything transitioned over! Start where you can and aim for one category per week or month as feasible! The key is to eliminate plastic whenever possible and eliminate one time use items as much as possible, hence why parchment paper isn’t on this list even though it makes a good option for wrapping fish & such for freezer storage! The key is to aim for products that are both non-toxic AND sustainable! Exposing ourselves to minimal toxins as possible while also producing as little waste as possible & saving trees too!

For Non-Toxic Kitcheb 101 series I will also be covering kitchen water filters, Non-toxic cookware, non-toxic dinnerware/utensils & non-toxic appliances/cutting boards etc! ❤️ Don’t forget to tag your friends & share the love!

Much love & light,

What are your thoughts on reduced packaging as a step towards zero waste? According to what I’ve read, this detergent bottle is made from 66% less plastic than a typical 100oz laundry bottle and is completely recyclable (I would say that depends on the municipality). According to their website, @seventhgeneration is working towards zero waste, and has so far reduced their packaging significantly, and is aiming to make 100% of their products from post-consumer materials or bio-based by 2020. By 2025, they plan to make 100% of their materials reusable or reused, recyclable or recycled, or biodegradable or degraded. While it would obviously be great to move towards a fully circular economy sooner than later, these are steps in the right direction. I also like that these types of products are available, especially considering more zero waste options aren’t everywhere yet. What do you think? #mindfullysustainable #zerowastecollective
