The fair trade designation is important because it protects artisans by ensuring they have fairer wages and safer working conditions.

There’s so much to love about fall: crisp sweater weather, the color of leaves changing, warm sweet beverages, and, of course, the chance to decorate your home to match the natural beauty of the season. This makes it all the more puzzling why so many fall decor ideas involve garish plastic decorations that take up storage space for the other three quarters of the year. What if there was a way t[...]
Last night, while I was thinking about the details of this no-frills recipe for delicious gluten-free beef enchiladas, I started to wonder about the history of enchiladas. I did a little research, and according to a History Today article, the earliest existing record of recognizable early versions of today's enchiladas is in a meal served by Aztec ruler Moctezuma II to the Spanish conquistado[...]

Instead of sending your food scraps to fester in a landfill, participate in an eco-friendly solution: apartment composting. The composting options in this post aren't strictly specific to apartments; they're good for all kinds of small-space situations in an urban context. If you have acreage or even a big backyard, trench composting is a great technique for breaking down your compostables. For t[...]

I think this is the first time I've made lasagna, ever, and it's definitely the first time I've made elk lasagna—yummy! This was an inventive way to use some elk (hunted in Wyoming) sausage meat that was languishing in our freezer, but you can use any sausage meat. Seasoned meat like sausage does well in this recipe because it adds depth to the flavors of onions, garlic, and tomato in this[...]
One of my Christmas gifts from Matt this year was a (beautiful!) brushed stainless-steel KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker that delivers 38 ounces of thick, strong, delicious cold brew concentrate each time after 24 hours of passive steeping.

Ah, the ongoing quest for those mythical 100% zero-waste products. While zero waste as a concept has flaws, in my opinion (among other things, it can exacerbate perfectionism and eco-anxiety, it requires more time and energy than many of us can allocate on a daily basis, and it can place too much responsibility on the consumer for products' environmentally sustainability with too much abdicat[...]

This gluten-free chicken noodle soup is the result of finding whole White Oak Pastures pastured chicken at our local food co-op. If you’re not familiar with the definition of “pastured” as it relates to chicken, it’s similar to “grass-fed” for beef: it means that the chicken roamed around on pasture during its life, probably pecking at bugs and seeds, warmed by the sun, soci[...]
Today's post is all about the simple clean beauty makeup look I'm wearing (minimum) once per week, nowadays. I've loved a bold red lip since my early 20's but I took an extended break from it until very recently. In March, April, and May of this year, anxious and isolated, I stopped wearing makeup entirely. During the summer, when mask-wearing ramped up, I didn't return to wearing mak[...]
