Less Waste Kitchen Ideas by Rachel Talbott

Less Waste Kitchen Ideas
Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by my channel. Please expand this description box to read more info and details on everything I shared in the video… I’ve been making small changes over time to be less wasteful throughout my home. I recently started experimenting with canning, tincturing, and storing homemade items. I will be sharing a lot more of that as I continue on this journey. All of the items I ordered from these companies on Amazon came in very/ compostable packaging. Consider ordering everything in bulk/at one time so Amazon ships less packages. Also, a lot of Amazon packaging is compostable, including the boxes and shipping tape. I heard about these reusable paper towels from a Homestead channel on YouTube I really like called That 1870's Homestead (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGlnnV1P-cUPZ-laIOL62_Q) I’ve been inspired by a lot of her gardening, canning, and animal care tips. I like reusable towels, but the reusable paper towels work GREAT! My husband was actually really impressed by them too. They wash very well. Just wash by hand, or in the washer on cold and gentle. Hang them to dry! I use them for everything from wiping down the kitchen, drying glass etc. I highly recommend these https://amzn.to/31JCRsH The dish soap solid and brush from https://theearthlingco.com are also AMAZING!! I like these better than others I have used in the past, and the solid works soooo much better than I anticipated. It cleans very well, and is perfect for a light pre dish washer clean or even just washing dishes by hand! I decided to cut out buying hand soaps and use reusable containers to make it myself. I'm gonna start buying unscented Castile soap (https://amzn.to/3jwLqNw this is the link for bulk lavender, but check out the unscented and sensitive option on Amazon as well. Much better for use around kids and pets) Here are the mason jars and 4 foaming dispenser tops https://amzn.to/32LQEya Compostable sponge scrubber -https://amzn.to/3jyNiFQ I like this as an additional option for cleaning the kitchen. It's abrasive enough for tough kitchen cleaning and can be thrown in the compost. This pack comes with 4. Soak the sponge for 3-5 minutes before using. For HOMEMADE ALL PURPOSE CLEANSER - I like Rosemary + Thyme. Cover completely in vinegar and let sit for several days to a week. Once the vinegar is infused, strain very well. Use glass bottles ( https://amzn.to/2YQKQCw ) to store the infused vinegar cleanser. The glass bottle set comes with a chalk pen. I use these all purpose cleansers on my cutting boards, marble etc with no problems. For tile floor cleanser I use 1 gallon of water 1/2 cup vinegar 8 drops Lavender 8 drops lemon 5 drops unscented Castile Soap (I use some of my lavender Castile for today) Beeswax wraps food covers for wrapping left over watermelon, cabbage etc.. These work well, but have an interesting scent and take some getting used to. I will use these until I find a better solution https://amzn.to/2G5p0ob I will share more content soon on canning, fermenting, kombucha, dehydrating and tincturing. We saved up and finally invested in this Excalibur dehydrator. We have been LOVING IT!!! We have many ideas to share soon!! https://amzn.to/3hOqzVM I've also been saving and waiting for good prices on mason jars. I've been collecting them for upcoming canning of what's in our garden. I will share more soon, but you can see all the cans in the background of this video. lol The reusable grocery mesh bag is also from TheEarthingsco.com, I prefer to shop local farm stands or markets if I'm buying something we aren't currently growing. ♥MY MUSIC: https://spoti.fi/2MB4U8p ♥MY WEBSITE: http://www.racheltalbott.com ♥MY SHOP: http://www.PacificThyme.com/ ♥INSTAGRAM: http://followgram.me/racheltalbott ♥MY PINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/racheltalbott/ ♥HUBBYS COOKING CHANNEL: http://www.youtube.com/ByronTalbott ♥FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/rachel.talbott * DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed are true &my own.
