A New Way of Living

I've been working toward this idea for years, but I decided it would be fun to document our efforts.

We're practicing a combination of minimalism, anti-consumerism, zero waste, plastic free and make do. I guess you could call it living thoughtfully, trying to have as little impact as possible.

We've drastically uncluttered our home, but there are lots of other things we're doing.  I've nearly eliminated food packaging by making a lot of things from scratch.  I now bake our artisan bread, and am about to experiment with making a rye loaf.

I make David's English muffins (for 8 cents each).

I make our thin buns (for 5 cents each), plus the black bean burgers to go on them.

And I bake our pita pockets (5 cents each).

I'm now cooking and freezing all our beans.

I'm working on crackers, but I still have a way to go on that one.
