hello … and a note

Hi, glad you found my site where I write mostly about my bread recipes + other things I do daily to slow down a little and pare down a lot, especially on food waste and single-use plastics. After all, we only have one earth, let’s be nice to it.

I post a mixture of my own photos and sometimes images that I really like by others, giving proper credits. Email me at {monoandco} at gmail dot com if you like me to remove the post with your image.

Thanks for stopping by.
Sandra

What I would do when I didn't bring or bring enough reusable food containers for takeaway meals?

My decade-long switch to a more sustainable, low-waste lifestyle has taught me that everything I consume makes an impact, no effort is too small, and magic happens when done collectively. Taking part in the #CarbonCopyChallenge by @temasekshophouse to share my planet-friendly diet with more people!

How to repurpose food jars that would otherwise be thrown away.

Despite my many years of #zerowaste grocery shopping attempts, I admit that I have more failures than successes. For every "naked" vegetable that I buy, I'll bring home another produce that is pre-packaged in plastics, usually from mushrooms and fruits. That's why it's even more important for me to stick to my shopping list and make sure I finish all the food at home. I cannot avoid all plastics but I can definitely prevent food waste. Here's what I bought today, to be consumed in coming week. Shopping with reusable bags helps to limit my purchases. I usually bring two to three bags, anything more, I know I am buying too much!

How I turn 4 types of food waste Into free fertilisers!

I always find it hard to stick to a plant-based diet; I can live without meats, but I love cakes and ice cream too much to give them up. Since I started posting my meals on the @abillion app, I realised that I am more vegan than I thought! In slightly over a month, I have posted more than 100 times on the platform. The best feature of this sharing platform is that the app donates $1 to a charitable cause of my choice for every post. I have chosen to support @sharethemeal , so each post turns into a meal donation for a kid. This will motivate me to keep my #plantbased meals habit as long as I can! Sharing my favourite 10 places/dishes which I have also posted on the @abillion platform, join me there! 😊

Here's how I shop #zerowaste at the wet market:

Besides sharing my meatfree meal ideas here, I also share my recipes on @helloyoripe platform. I have been invited to come up with a low GI, low fat recipe for a #7DayDetox meal plan. Using thai brown rice from @royalumbrellasg , I prepared a healthy Ochazuke recipe using plant-based ingredients such as mushrooms, leeks (CNY leftovers!) and natto.

Homemade my almost #zerowaste vegan kimchi. Packaging-free ingredients include napa cabbage, carrot, onion, ginger, and spring onions. When done, I stored the kimchi in my favourite upcycled glass pasta sauce bottle.
