PLASTIC FREE PANTRY — Homemade Yogurt

PLASTIC FREE PANTRY — Homemade Yogurt

Due to the massive amounts of packaging that is a part of our convenience driven lifestyle, we all bring loads of plastic into our homes via the food that we eat. The goal of this blog is to demonstrate ways that we can cut down on the plastic that we use in acquiring foods that are staples in most of our pantries (and refrigerators). The recipes that I will be sharing will help to reduce your own personal carbon footprint, require little to no special equipment, support local, independent businesses, and create a delicious product!
