Introducing

Our Values

Prevent Waste

Plan, store, and preserve your food so it doesn’t go bad before you can eat it. Buy foods you can use in numerous ways. Find ways to transform it to keep you interested. Share your food with others.

Preservation

Stretch out the life of your food by pickling, freezing, and using proper storage techniques.

Intuitive Cooking

I promote a food-based approach to cooking instead of recipe-based approach. Shopping for a recipe often leaves behind excess ingredients that you don’t know how to use once the recipe is cooked. A food-based approach allows the ingredients you already have to be your inspiration.

Creativity

Try new flavors and methods of cooking to transform ingredients into something new. Excite your palate with different flavors from the same ingredients.

Build habits that work for you. Shop the way that your family eats, and do it mindfully. Don’t expect picture perfect meals.

Practicality

Save Money

If you’re throwing away food, you’re throwing away money.

Mindfulness

While composting is preferable to the landfill, it should not be the first choice for unwanted food. Water, time, space, and fuel are all used to produce and transport food. When food is wasted, these resources are also wasted. Whether budget conscious or eco conscious, the common denominator is consciousness. Be aware of the food you have and what you do with it.
