Evidence of a Changing Kitchen

I’m making little changes. Just step into my kitchen, and you’ll see!

An empty, glass bottle of organic juice is soaking in hot, soapy water. I plan to remove the label and use it as a water bottle.

A glass pitcher of water sits on the counter. We pour our water in here from the Brita pitcher immediately after filtering, to prevent the plastic from leeching into the water.

2 bunches of organic bananas! I wanted to make sure we had more than enough. I’ll probably use some of them to make banana bread.

Let’s peek in my fridge! There’s some homemade chicken broth chilling – couldn’t let those free range chicken bones go to waste!

A gallon of organic milk and a glass jug of organic, unfiltered apple juice sit beside the broth, as well as an almond butter jar that is being re-used to store leftover soup.

On the bottom shelf, you can see the organic butter that I bought yesterday.

On the table sit two ripe, organic tangelos, waiting to be eaten. Beside them, paper bags full of organic oranges and apples sit ripening.

I have a long way to go, but it’s heartening to see the changes happening. When I notice these little differences, it warms my heart to realize that I am taking steps toward taking better care of my family and myself.

  1. Your mission is so fascinating–and inspiring–to me.

    I look forward to reading more.

  2. A great fact about organic bananas- you can store them in the fridge. They don’t disintegrate the way everyday chiquitas do, and while the skin turns brown, the flesh will remain nice and yellow for up to 2 weeks. Not to mention it keeps the fruit flies away.

  3. You are really inspiring me to do do more:) I think I may even have to start my own Canadian version of a Eco-Frugal blog:)
