Thanks to renewed interest in my Sustainable Kitchen Project after a fellow editor at Blog Nosh was nice enough to highlight it, I thought this would be a good time to actually update my status. I also think it’s very cool that this inspired another blogger to create her own Sustainable Kitchen...

Recently, we were at the mall and saw something I have a hard time resisting. A children’s cooking kit that was on sale for a fraction of its original price.

Sustainable Kitchen Project

When I decided to work at home most days, a major MAJOR factor was having more time to make good food for my family. I wanted to use more fresh ingredients, and make more things from scratch.
