What's in the Fridge?

If you're worried about chemicals leaching into your food from your cookware, read below for the safest pots and pans. We'll answer questions like: Which cookware is sustainable? What’s the best cookware to get? The only types of cookware I should use? When researching which cookware was the best, I looked at a few key aspects. Environmental-friendliness Heats evenly Durability After some research I found that there is really a general consensus on which pans are the best. Sorry folks, it’s not nonstick pans. The general nonstick pan is not environmentally friendly and will only last a couple years. On the other hand, your grandma’s pans will last years, and maybe generations.

NO- Nonstick pans I know there are some good, eco-friendly nonstick pa

The Guide to Never Feeling Low Energy on Your Plant-Based Diet

Vegetable Tagine in Morocco If you're confused about the term "plant-based," you're not alone. It means a diet of mostly, or ALL fruits and vegetables.
