Today's kitchen cleaning involved touching everything. There's nothing better for deciding what can stay + what can go...and for reminding me what needs to be used up. Zero-waste means using things up before they go bad, and that sometimes means getting a bit creative.
We've been doing the Autoimmune Protocol diet for the past few months, so I have a few things that we don't usually buy. A few of these things were transferred into jars. I clipped a bit of information about how they can be used up + taped those scraps inside the cabinet door for future reference. I'll substitute a little coconut flour for gluten-free flour until it's gone + use some arrowroot flour as an egg substitute in baking recipes. There were some leftover probiotic capsules (that I bought to make coconut yogurt with) that I will add to my vitamin routine.
For the past month, I've been trying to use up the tea that I have...but have to admit that I'm just not enjoying a couple of them. I sent them to work with Jo + she was sure that her co-workers would appreciate them.
A few wheat stalks that I used as an autumn decoration were still hanging around + were easily composted.
Every month or so I find a couple of things that need to be used up. It's a nice little creative exercise, and I feel great letting nothing go to waste.
Love,
Jane
