Let's talk cooking shortcuts. I slipped down the basement stairs last weekend and landed squarely on my tailbone, so this week I've utilized some tricks to keep me from working too hard in the kitchen. 1) I made carrot-orange juice and used the juicer pulp to make carrot cake for my mom's birthday (I hate grating carrots, and I'm in no position to bend down to get my food processor from the bottom cupboard). 2) I re-discovered the joy of frozen peas and bagged baby spinach as pasta toppings. No chopping required! Just dump 'em in. Miracle.


Another shortcut I discovered this week: If you want to help the planet and go on a plant-based diet, you don't actually have to go full vegan. It turns out most people don't have a strict definition of what "plant-based" means! Read our story to find out how you can help the environment with just a few dietary changes.
