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

If the household refuse fee is calculated based on the volume of trash generated, would we start to think twice before discarding stuff, or even better, we may begin to:

The dumpling season is here! I am so thankful for these homemade vegetarian ones made by my mother-in-law. She filled them with my favourite shiitake and monkeyhead mushrooms, ginko and cashew nuts.😋 These dumplings are #meatfree and #plasticfree as she even avoided using plastic raffia strings to tie my vegetarian version!

I only cooked the rice and sliced a tomato for this lunch meal. The curry dishes were leftovers from a weekend gathering. I hate wasting food and I rather buy/order less and not deal with excess food to begin with. But when I open my fridge, I see plenty of containers filled with leftover food and half-used/prepped ingredients. As a regular homecook, I can never clean out my fridge, no matter how hard I try. Swipe to see my well-stocked fridge despite no grocery runs over the long weekend.

New habit: packing homecooked lunch to work. Save money. Avoid crowd.

Recently, there have been many articles on how to cut food expenses given the rising price trend. My best tips are:

15 years of eating meatfree and counting, cos it's getting easier! I cook with mostly fresh, unprocessed ingredients and this is the cheapest way to go vegetarian.

I harvest sweet basil from my corridor garden very often. My plants fully understand my consumption pattern and have been syncing their supply to my demand! A plant seller once told me that the more we prune the herbs, the more leaves they will produce. Great tip!

I am so comfortable with cooking stovetop rice that I prepare Nasi Lemak the same way too. Sharing my small batch recipe that uses two cups of uncooked rice. I hate leftovers, especially rice, so I make sure to cook only the amount of rice that we can finish.

盆菜 Poon Choi is an easy CNY dish to make at home. Traditionally prepared with premium ingredients to symbolise a bountiful year ahead, I made mine vegetarian with ingredients that I wish to eat -> 心想事成/ wishes fulfilled, equally auspicious, right? 😅
