Compost Time

I cook so much that my trash can use to fill up so quickly. I would constantly be taking out the garbage and using plastic bags.

I started composting and it cut back on trash bags by more than half!

I throw all my food scraps into an old coffee container and then when it's full, I take it out to a black bin in my backyard that gets a lot of sunshine (you can also just make a designated pile). This sun helps speed up to decomposition process and can be used in the garden during the summer or around the yard.

Things you can compost:

• Fruit/Veggie scraps
• Eggshells
• Coffee grounds
• Leaves/Grass clippings
• Newspaper

Keep the pile moist & turn often

Composting is just another great way to help reduce, reuse, and recycle!!

Fun Facts!

To get to know me a little better, I have been playing volleyball since I was a little tater tot!

I played select volleyball for 8 years and continued to play on Mizzou's Club Volleyball team in college. We traveled often on these teams and I got to experience some really cool cities and make life long friends.

I now play in a volleyball league at Kirkwood and compete in sand and indoor volleyball tournaments. I have also coached teams for Ursuline Academy and Rockwood Thunder Select.

I love the sport because it is competitive and quick! I definitely see me sticking with it till a ripe old age of 100!

Taste & See

This year I was lucky enough to receive a birthday gift for a membership to St. Louis Taste & See events!

Each month Channel 9 Network and Feast TV bring together chefs and vendors from the regions culinary scene. The outdoor event features live music and drinks to accompany distinct dishes and flavors available. Tickets are only $20 and worth every penny if you're a foodie (or just hungry) like me!

I'm looking forward to the next one that's August 17th themed "Frozen Assets" with my best friend Megan! This Taste & See features handmade ice cream, boozy cocktails, savory snow cones, and more. Hope to see you there!
