The Pantry of Your Dreams: Aesthetic Organization Goals ☁️🏺

Is there anything more satisfying than a perfectly stocked pantry? There’s a certain kind of peace that comes with decanting your staples into glass jars and seeing exactly what you have. It’s giving low-waste living, intentionality, and peak home-chef energy. From organic grains and seeds to vibrant spices and flours, this is about more than just storage—it’s about creating a kitchen space that feels grounded and ready for anything. Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or just enjoying the visual harmony of a zero-waste setup, this is your sign to start that organization project you’ve been putting off. Your future self (and your kitchen counters) will thank you. ✨🥖

If you think a virus reducing the population is good? You are a ableist (and honestly really crappy)

Not everybody can afford to do every low waste method.

Not everyone can go vegan or vegetarian.

Not every one can use low waste solutions.

VEGAN SHEPHERD’S HAND PIES 🥧

St. Patrick’s Day or literally ANY other day of the year is a great reason to whip up a batch of @micks_magic ‘s latest kitchen wizardry. I’m talking an edible plant-based pocket people! My favorite kind of vegetable vehicle, why do we eat food any other way? These hand pies are the perfect size to carry a sumptuous combo of TVP (that’s textured veggie protein), mashed potatoes, and a delicious veg mixture. Baked in a flaky vegan dough you can decorate to your liking, and make a big ol’ batch ahead of time to enjoy throughout the week. And throw a couple my way, yeah?

Not even remotely a Jewish holiday, as a kiddo my synagogue would still celebrate the holy season of potatoes and right around now. We’d find any number of reasons to fry up knish, latkes, you name it. So trust me when I tell ya a convenient mashed potato recipe fits right in with the calendar.

So if you’re cooking for others, these shepherd’s hand pies are a great way to come together in the kitchen for an afternoon / weekend project. Or make a batch to drop off for friends and share the love! Good mood food in a sweet lil pocket makes for good friends (and travel companions.) 

These versatile pies take on your favorite flavors or preferred meat-alternatives. You can make the most of the veggies or spices you have on hand. And even sub out your tubers. Get creative with your fillings and you can have a new combo every week! I mean, why stop at St. Patty’s day right?

What’s in your hand pie?? #closedloopcooking

I bought a rechargeable electric lighter.

Some of our compost bin rescues! Composted squash and watermelon seeds ended up thriving in the compost bin and they've taken off since planting them.
