We become so set on doing things a certain way, it takes a bit of time to change, doesn't it? Good work with what you're doing! :-) Hey Coleen,

I am just learning about zero cost food...freezing parts that would normally be thrown away and then using them to make broths.

What I'm experimenting with more and more now is the **way** I cook things; so using things like a crock pot, a steamer and using residual heat in the pans to cook things all help to reduce my overall fuel consumption. I guess a pressure cooker would be great, but I'm too scared to use one LOL! .-= Mrs Green´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/littlegreenblog/vIjp/~3/oPBwFahwMWY/" rel="nofollow">Online Carbon footprint carbon calculators review</a> =-.

Good advice. I love the idea of growing vegetables and herbs inside in the winter–that way you never have an excuse not to eat well.

They have the freshest produce; it hasn't been transported 1000's of miles to get to you; and you're supporting the local economy! I also grow veggies outside during spring/summer and have an indoor hydroponic veggie/herb garden in the winter.
