Hey, you! Are you still there? Want to tell me how we’re halfway through September already?! It’s a bit of an odd time to be putting up a blog post, I know. But I’ve actually got a nice chunk of spare time this evening and we just enjoyed a lovely day in Monterey, CA.… Read More »
10 Easy & Delicious Meat-Free Weeknight Dinner Recipes
Hello and happy Friday! I’m excited for this Labor Day weekend–E has Monday off of work and we have a whole lot of nothing planned. Eep. Anyways, while I’m working on my first environmental research-y post for next week, I thought I’d pop in to share some recipes we’ve been loving lately!
I plan to write extensively on the topic of eating meat and its environmental impact in the future, but it’s common knowledge by now that the meat industry has a huge carbon footprint and is extremely water- and land-intensive. The way that most animals are currently raised, and the quantities in which meat is currently consumed, are not sustainable for our planet.… Read More »
Claireified Travels: A Day of Hiking in Yosemite National Park
Happy last week of August, folks! Can you believe we’re already two-thirds of the way through 2017?! That may or may not have been what spurred us to break from our usual lazy weekend routine and get out of the apartment for a day trip yesterday. I posted a picture on Instagram, but in case you missed it, we drove eight hours round-trip to hike in Yosemite and it was totally worth it.
Today, I thought I’d recap our trip and give you our suggestions for sightseeing and hiking in the park! We’ll definitely be back as Yosemite is huge and we hardly saw anything overall–and I’d love to camp next time–but I really loved the trail we picked yesterday, so I thought I’d share :)… Read More »
Music for Thinking & Clarity

I’d like to try video, use my own photography instead of stock photos, and add different types of media (like music) to posts, not just pictures. So here’s a start!… Read More »
10 Food Staples that are Easy & Cheap to Make from Scratch
I’m passionate about food! I love to garden, cook, bake, and read everything I can get my hands on about the food industry. I also love to be as close to my food as possible. I love to see it go from its component parts–that I grow or produce, if possible–all the way to its final jarred or plated version. There is something incredibly empowering about knowing exactly how what you’re putting in your mouth was grown, harvested, and made edible.
But even if you’re not especially passionate about gardening or cooking, another great reason to make more staples from scratch is money. Simply making yogurt from scratch, we save $5 to $10 per week. We’re definitely not through with our transition from prepared foods to foods made from scratch, but today I thought I’d share the changes we have made, including recipes and how-to’s! … Read More »
