I have been meaning to start this blog for years. Life finally pushed me to the place where I would start!
Cascade Living started off as an idea in the kitchen, just Cascade Cooking. I started thinking of the way I would use part of one meal to lead to the next when I did my meal plan. I was struck by the image of a cascading stream where the water bounced from one level to another, each making the whole more amazing and beautiful.
I used that beautiful picture to describe thoughtfully using the resources at hand to create more, waste less, and enjoy more of my efforts! Recently I realized that the same concepts can be applied to keeping a household, maintaining a property/house and just living life, so I named my blog Cascade Living.
Because I have given Cascade Cooking so much more thought I am going to start there. I plan to use my writing here to encourage new and better things in my own kitchen. I will show you my system of planning meals that lead to other meals so you can start right away. I will share pictures and recipes.
Since I'm nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, I also plan on sharing some of the beauty of this area with you. My goal is to share a waterfall/cascade picture every week. I hope you enjoy them. (Yes, for now my background is a stock photo I have to learn how to adjust pictures so I can upload them.)
Thank you for reading!

Hey Kristin!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how you consistently label and store leftovers so that you know what you've got later. I'm good at sticking stuff in the freezer, not so good with labeling in a way I can read later!
Hi Raven,
ReplyDeleteI am not so good at having an organized freezer, but I do have a few things I do to make it easier. If you don't mind I will answer your question in detail in my "Ask" column on Friday.
I use masking tape and a Sharpie. I write what it is and the date, every time. I only got into the habit at home because I have to at work. ;)
