as if I didn’t love beans enough already - now I like them in my cake.

I don’t fully understand how black beans blended with eggs and sugar can produce the flavor and texture it does, but I promise it doesn’t taste like a bean!

So if you’re looking for a gluten-free cake option or another way to get more fiber, this cake is it!!

for the record, absolutely agree with the skeptical comments.

if a couple hundred people are using private jets for flights the distance of a quick car ride, reusing my pickle jar doesn’t quite make the same impact. also fully understand that companies like BP have successfully marketed a “carbon footprint” to distract from them burning the place down.

BUT despite not creating the problem, it’s kind of cool to find people trying to be a part of the solution 💕

if you’re in the metro Detroit area and you have a hard time parting with a good jar, bring it in to refill everything from laundry detergent to paprika!

love when a snack can be made with primarily refilled ingredients!!

our locally made cinnamon granola from Free and Simple Foods makes the BEST snack!! it’s made with only SIX ingredients & allergy friendly! You probably would never guess the main ingredient, hint it’s wheat free!

our waste management system is a little wild when you think about it. we use raw materials for just about everything we consume, then we put it in a landfill - over and over. makes you think how differently we could mange our waste if we implemented more closed-loop, or reuse systems.
