'Our consumer-driven society is one that results in a great deal of waste. From food waste to packaging to disposable items, there are a lot of resources being used by humans. This consumption of resources — and the waste it produces — is not sustainable. Nor is it healthy. You can reduce the amount of waste you contribute to the problem with a little planning and creativity.

Why is everyone so gung-ho about cleaning in the spring time? Maybe the open windows awaken that spirit in us, but tis the season to freshen up the home. I'm no different. Yesterday turned out to be a sunny day and I was inspired to wash some windows. I'm never inspired to wash windows, but the sun blazing through was quite revealing. The windows were filthy after a long winter.

'Pin This To Pinterest. I was introduced to roasted broccoli about two years ago and it quickly became my go-to way of preparing it. Roasting vegetables in general is my favorite preparation, so I don’t know why I had never done this with broccoli! When you roast vegetables at a high temperature, they start to caramelize and get slightly crispy around the edges.
