Homemade Lemon Curd - Another gift from the Heart

Lemons are one of those fruits, if you have a good tree it just gives and gives. One thing I have found is that if I have an abundance of lemons is trying to decide what to do with them? Lemon curd, of course. Even if you don't have a tree, lemon curd can be made with just a few lemons are not that hard to get. I love Lemon curd. It can be used as a jam, in lemon pies, in lemon meringue and other lemony treats. And it makes for a great gift. It is so simple to make, especiall

BECOME PART OF PLASTIC FREE JULY – TIP #8

Did you know that nearly 90% of plastic water bottles are not recycled. This really surprised us, as we thought most people would think to at least throw plastic bottles into the recycling bin. Instead they end up in landfill, taking thousands of years to decompose. Rather than buying bottled water, why not use a reusable drink bottle and fill it with tap water, a great choice for the environment, your wallet, and possibly your health. With so many choices of reusable drinkin

Be Tech Savvy and not a Gadget dumpster

With the growing number of gadgets in every household, one must wonder what happens to them when they don’t work anymore or they become obsolete. With the fast pace of innovation, we all want the latest and the best, so what is done with the redundant models? Or have you even thought about it? I love technology and seeing the advancements we have made, but in recent years I have realised the waste that has comes with gathering new gadgets. So, I have looked at ways to make ha

21 Days to a Greener You - Day 15

Avoid convenience food Like pre-packed fruit and veg, convenience foods are not great for your health and they are among the worst offenders for excessive packaging. Often, they come wrapped in plastic and packaged in plastic lined cardboard. If your serious about ditching plastic, you should avoid convenience food. The foods I am talking about here are things like your pre-made meals, chilled and frozen foods, pastas, noodles, soups, etc. Where possible buy items in glass, a

21 Days to a Greener You - Day 12

Recycling Paper Today’s task is about recycling, but I thought I would stick to one item - paper. When you recycle paper, several things happen. For every tonne of paper recycled 13 trees are saved, as well as 2.5 barrels of oil, 4100kWh of electricity, 4 cubic metres of landfill and 31,780 litres of water. It is worth thinking about. Look at all the places you can find paper in your household – the kitchen, the study, the living room, etc. What paper can be recycled: Newspa

21 Days to a Greener You - Day 3

Make the switch to refillable products This is something a lot of people forget about. So, what I would like you to do is to choose one product in your household like a laundry detergent, hand soap, shampoo, shower gel, sauces or even baking items like flour, baking powder, salt and much more. Then look for a refillable option and switch to this. By doing this, you will help reduce the amount of packaging, particularly plastic that ends up in landfill. Once you have got use t

BECOME PART OF PLASTIC FREE JULY – TIP #6

I was hoping to post this yesterday, but as most parents will understand school holiday time can be a bit hectic. It is good to be around the kids and their friends, and it still amazes me how grown up they are getting (I now have two teenagers, which still shocks me), but you do have to keep them occupied. Another way to help eliminate plastic from your life is to buy in bulk. Buying in bulk makes sense, as not only will you save on packaging, but you’ll save money (as bulk

NO WASTE TOMATO SAUCE

It is that season when it is time to pick the last of the fruit and some vegetables. You are probably finding you have an excess and are trying to figure out how to avoid wasting. You could cook up a storm and freeze meals, but not everyone has loads of freezer space. This is where preserving is such a good idea. I know some people are afraid to try it, but believe me it is not that hard. If you have a veggie garden most people are growing tomatoes this time of year, but if y

Lemons and more

I’m glad to say I’m back after been away for the last two weeks. Although I was prepared for moving house, I didn’t plan it so well when it came to writing here on earthly passion. Sorry about that. I honestly didn’t think I would be so exhausted each evening during our move to our new house. Boy, was I wrong! It didn’t help that I had been ill a few weeks beforehand. Thankfully every single box is unpacked and everything is in it’s place. So now it is time to get back to our
