    Hello Spring!! Farmers markets are just around the corner and I have reusable produce bags ordered. While I was at it, I ordered silicone flexible food covers so I can ditch the plastic wrap.

    I’m discovering ways I can make my trips to the market and restaurants more eco-friendly. I want to get some mesh produce bags to prepare for all of the local goodies I’ll find once the farmers markets reopen.

    The wind was chilly but the snow flurries were pretty coupled with the brief glimpses of sunshine.

    I almost used a plastic bag for my veggies, but thanks to this challenge I stopped myself. I’m going to get those mesh produce bags.
