I’m a sucker for a fruit salsa, especially one involving fruit that’s never been sprayed and literally is just falling off trees without being used. Does that mean my nachos are eco-friendly?! Oh, say yes! . . . #loquat #japaneseplum #loquatsalsa #salsa #yummy #eatlocal #slowfood #chseats #ethicaleats #wastenotwantnot #urbanforage #foodmiles #cleaneats #recipe #nomnomnom #playwithyourfood #floridagirl #ecoblogger
This is called the loquat happy dance, and I’m doing it because I’m scooping up ripe loquats left and right in Florida while I’m here. They’ll be ready in Charleston before you know it! Never heard of a loquat? Never had one? You’re missing out. There are over 800 varietals! This low-maintenance food source is too often overlooked in favor of shipping cultivated food halfway across the planet. Check to see if they grow in your area, and give my Loquat Peach Salsa a whirl!! ✨🌮🍑✨ . . . #localeats #floridagirl #savetheplanet #eatlocal #loquat #loquats #happydance #urbanforage #slowliving #slowfood #imnotsharing #salsa #fruitsalsa #loquatsalsa #yum
I’m a sucker for a good fruit salsa. And this one? This one’s a LOQUAT salsa! Raise your hand if you’ve had a loquat! They’re one of my favorite fruits and grow on virtually every street corner from north Florida to Charleston, yet many people don’t know they’re edible. Lemme teach y’all a few things. Up on the blog soon! ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #salsa #fruitsalsa #loquat #loquats #moresalsaplease #yum #eatwell #slowfood #foodmilesmatter #slowliving #ethicaleats #urbanforage #ecoblogger #gogreen #savetheplanet #floridagirl #localeats #eatlocal #pretty
Calories don’t count on the weekends, particularly if they come from locally foraged foods. For the love of mulberries! Check out the super tasty recipe for mulberry peach cobbler with rosemary topping, link in bio! ✨🥧✨⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #mulberry #mulberries #nativeplants #localfood #eatlocal #foodmilesmatter #cobbler #friyay #urbanforage #dessert #foodporn #nomnomnom #berries #slowfood #slowliving #liveslow #growyourown #ecoblogger #wheredoesyourfoodcomefrom #imadethis #eatwell #foodie #foodstagram #southerneats #southernblogger #ecofriendly #rosemary #peaches #yum #berrycobbler
There it is! My mulberry peach cobbler: crumbly, gooey, and delicious. Did you know mulberry trees not only thrive in poor soil, but they rarely need irrigation or fertilizer after planting. They also grow well in a variety of areas. Here’s to incorporating more low impact food varietals and native (red mulberries) foods into our diets! 🥧🍴💓⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #mulberry #mulberries #nativeplants #localfood #eatlocal #foodmilesmatter #cobbler #recipe #urbanforage #dessert #foodporn #nomnomnom #berries #slowfood #slowliving #liveslow #growyourown #wheredoesyourfoodcomefrom #imadethis #eatwell #foodie #ethicaleating #foodstagram #southerneats #southernblogger #ecofriendly #rosemary #peaches #yum #berrycobbler
Interesting fact: red mulberries are native to the eastern US. In the mid-1500s, De Soto observed the Muskogee people eating dried mulberry fruits! While the white mulberry was brought from China in the 1800s, the black mulberry is native to western Asian and the Middle East. Even more interesting fact: these little suckers are delicious. The scoop (of ice cream) on mulberries and a killer original Compost and Cava recipe up on the blog tomorrow! ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #mulberry #mulberries #nativeplants #localfood #eatlocal #foodmilesmatter #cobbler #recipe #urbanforage #dessert #foodporn #nomnomnom #berries #slowfood #slowliving #liveslow #growyourown #wheredoesyourfoodcomefrom #imadethis #eatwell #foodie #ethicaleating #foodstagram #southerneats #southernblogger #ecofriendly #rosemary #peaches #yum #berrycobbler
What if I told you I've used this poor little eco-friendly Unsponge from Ecotopia almost daily for over 3 months? I've scrubbed out turmeric dye pots, burned stuff off the stove, and spaghetti sauces with this thing. And then I tossed it in the laundry. And used it again. Take a look at your disposable sponge... how's it looking? Like a plastic petri dish? Time for an (eco-friendly) upgrade, y'all!⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #ecoblogger #ecoblog #zerowaste #sustainablelifestyle #sustainability #blogging #reducerecyclereuse #gogreen #savetheplanet #environmentalist #greenbloggers #kitchen #zerowastekitchen #reducewaste #ecoproducts #mompreneur #supportsmallbusiness #sponge #cleaning #dothedishes #greencleaning greenliving #zerowasteliving #cutekitchen #springcleaning #germaphobesunite
