fine living on a shoestring budget
Green living is so important to me.
I firmly believe that living green can help you save green. It was through my weekly Food Waste Friday posts that I became incredibly passionate about food waste and composting.
That passion turned into a business. I now own and operate a compost education website called Naples Compost. We have three missions: To educate people about compost, to provide high quality products for our customers to purchase, and to pick up and process compost for our customers who don't want to compost on their own.
Time for another edition of Food Waste Friday. I’m overjoyed to report that we had no waste this week! I don’t even understand how that happened. I have to admit that we do indeed throw out a few scraps here and there, mostly from Robert’s plate. But for the most part we clean our plates…

I don’t have much to report for Food Waste Friday. We were gone for over a week so I didn’t get a chance to waste food. I did, however, find a mushy apple and a moldy piece of bread once we got home. I love when I don’t have much to report. It makes for…

It’s a pretty slow week for food waste around here. Ever since we got our Vitamix, I have less waste. I love putting all of our “almost bad” veggies in the freezer to use in smoothies. Jackson and Robert have no idea that they eat so much kale. This is what we wasted this week: The…
Remember when I won a Vitamix for this recipe? I finally got it. It only took 6 months! I had to follow up with the company and remind them that I won it. Thank goodness I did. I wonder if they would have ever sent it if I hadn’t reminded them. By the way, did…
Fellow moms, do you ever feel like you’ve become a completely different person since having kids? I feel this way all the time. Where I used to coupon and meticulously plan out every shopping trip, now I throw things in the cart just because Robert seems interested in a new food. The way I view…
I know I’m not the only one who deals with the banana dilemma. It’s when you either have way too many bananas or none at all. It’s constant in our house. We either have 12+ bananas that are rapidly browning or none whatsoever. On the off chance that we do have a lone banana, it…
