    It was great to see so many people at the NW Public Employees Diversity Conference with reusable water AND coffee containers!

    My meat-less recipe search continues - turns out my sons do not like the texture of beans. Any suggestions on ways to add beans with a different texture?

      All kinds of beans? What about chickpeas? They are a little firmer than others, and you can roast them with oil and spices to make a crunchy snack or salad/soup topping. Would hummus or refried beans work for them?

      If you like tofu, baked tofu is super easy. Press water out of a block of firm or extra firm tofu, and slice into 3/4" slices (I usually get about 6 slices out of one block). Baste generously with a mixture of soy sauce and olive oil on all sides, and then bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes. No need to flip. Serve over rice or quinoa with sautéed greens or use in a sandwich.

      One of my faves is roasted vegetables - very easy to make and you can pair it with so many side dishes. You basically cut up your favorite veggies (squash is great this time of year) into similar sized pieces, toss the veggies with oil and herbs, and roast in the oven. Yum!

    Students at a school in Beaverton really enjoyed hearing that Metro is participating in the October Eco-Challenge.  Even adults have room for education and improvement!

    It has been adventure to stick with my challenges during a work trip. Its hard to know if there will be meat free options.

    I finally placed a batch reusable bag in the side pocket of my car! I always meant to do it but never followed through before

    I mentioned this program to a classroom of 5th graders today as an example of adults trying to find small sustainable actions to help reduce their eco-footprint.  The teacher is planning on signing the their school up for the challenge!
