Summary: How (Exactly) to Cook Zero Waste Meals<br> <br> If you’re like most eco-friendly parents, you’d like to cook zero-waste, plastic-free meals for your family, but you’ve realized that doing so is much harder than it sounds.<br> Does this sound right?<br> – Feeding your family demands significant mental energy. Although you’d like to serve low-plastic, zero-waste meals, you have no idea where to start.<br> – You eat out more than you’d like; you spend more money than your wallet likes on restaurant food, too.<br> – Weeknights are hectic so you cut corners to ease your burden in the form of frozen pizza + other highly-processed foods. The result? Extra pounds.<br> – You know that with a bit of planning + forethought you could do better.<br> I’ve experimented with my meal strategy for the past year. In that time, I have tweaked my method and updated my routine to reflect my low-plastic, zero-waste principles.<br> On today’s show I’m thrilled to divulge exactly how I feed my family 3 times a day. I offer up some of my family’s favorite zero-waste meals, too.<br> Enjoy!<br> <br> * Access this week’s Show Notes (and get Stephanie’s zero-waste dinner recipes!) <a href="https://mamaminimalist.com/zero-waste-meal-plan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.<br> * Want more episodes like this one?
