Recipes

These recipes, mostly from my years in Italy, reflect the “flexitarian” diet I’ve adopted – not fully vegan or vegetarian, but limiting animal products and embracing plants, for both health and sustainability. I hope you’ll enjoy them!

In just a couple days we’ll be starting our trip In just a couple days we’ll be starting our trip HERE with our little group of e-bikers! 🚴‍♀️ Over the past year+, we’ve put so much time & love into planning this trip together with Marco, our local guide from @basecamp523 . 📍And I’m so proud to be bringing 7 people from the US to the Marche region — a rural area of Italy that’s totally off the beaten path for American travelers, and actually wants more visitors. (Unlike Venice, for example, just about 200 miles north, but a world away in terms of tourism, and flooded with more visitors than it can reasonably, sustainably handle.) Can’t wait to share more! Have you been to central Italy? 🇮🇹 . . . . . . #sustainablewanderlust #sustainableadventures #travelgreen #bucketlistdestinations #ecofriendlytravel #sustainabletravel #bucketlisttravel #greentravel #travelstories #travelinspo #responsibletravel #travelwithpurpose #marcheinbici #italiainbici #marchegram #smallgrouptour #biketraveller #marcheoutdoor #smallgrouptours #smallgrouptravel #womenonbikes #whyiride #adventurebybike #cycletour #travelbybike #bikeadventure #biketravel #worldbybike #ridebikes #italy_hidden_gems
The most sustainable food is the most local food y The most sustainable food is the most local food you can get your hands. 🙌 Plus it’s the best for your health, and for the local economy! And Vermont is one place where it’s really possible to eat local. These are a few of the excellent farm stands we visited in western Vermont, but there are tons of them scattered all over the state! Any others you recommend? Vermont farm stands in this video (SAVE this reel for your future trip!): - Blue Ledge Farm — goat cheese, lots of accompaniments 🧀 @blueledgefarm - Triple K Farm — jellies, pork and beef, eggs, maple syrup, goats to pet 🐐 (Not on IG. Location: 433 Leicester-Whiting Road, Whiting, VT 05778) - MoSe Farm — Raw milk & humane veal 🥛 @mose_farm Where else in the world do you find lots of local food? 👉 Follow @TiltedMap for more realistic sustainable travel & sustainable living tips! . . . . . . #supportyourlocalfarmer #homegrownfood #sustainablefarming #localfarmstand #vermontfarmstand #vermontfarmers #newenglandeats #travellikelocal #localtraveler #alternativetravel #sustainablewanderlust #greentravel #ecofriendlytravel #sustainabletravelgoals #sustainableadventures #wanderlustsustainably #travelgreen #ecotraveltips #mynewengland #visitnewengland #localingredients #foodforchange #travelvermont #vermontonly #farmstands #farmstand #locallygrown #supportlocalfarmers #knowyourfood #eatlocalgrown
August spilled out like a bottle of wine – wait August spilled out like a bottle of wine – wait is that something we’re all saying now? Am I still (ironically or actually?) demure? What’s happening out there? Hello, internet, it’s me, Ketti. I spent August hiding from cell service in the woods of Vermont, exploring more of New England, and generally taking it easy. What about you? After pretty much taking the summer to let my heart recover, I have a lot to catch up on here – 🇨🇳China, 🇱🇹 Lithuania, local adventures, more plastic-free things, and (after next week!) our group trip in Italy! 🚴 For now, please enjoy some iPhone snaps of August, featuring: 🐘 Elephant kisses in Newport, Rhode Island ⛴️ Long bike ride to a short ferry in Boston (should have pedaled harder) 🖼️ Art in New Bedford, Mass. ♣️ Card games at the cabin 🌮 Best tacos in Vermont? 🐄 Vermont farm stands (more on those tomorrow!) 💋 Facials w/ mom (so much product, soooo shiny) 🪞 Proof that I pretty much wear the same clothes every day. (Breaking the rules of #SecondHandSeptember , except for that thrifted skirt, with a new favorite T from @able and sandals from @poppybarley . Exceptions are OK. New things from ethical & sustainable brands can be a nice treat.) Ready now for a new season. ☺️
Did you know normal mascara tubes are *not* recycl Did you know normal mascara tubes are *not* recyclable? (Same for almost all small cosmetics packaging, for the reason I explain in the vid.) Ooh, and stick around for the Bonus Fun Fact at the end. (And yes, yes, I do also have a rec for the refillable, plastic-free dental floss. 😁) PART 5 in this series: This is the “Essential Macara” (refillable🙌 and works wonderfully without smearing) from @elatecosmetics (another woman-owned, vegan cosmetics company.) ✨DISCOUNT CODE: TILTEDMAP for 10% off your entire order. I’ve been using this tube for a few months now, and can tell you why I like it over other refillable mascara options if you’re interested. Also have several other Elate products that I need to start testing, so stay tuned. 👉 Follow @tiltedmap for more SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL tips & plastic-free products! . . . . . . . . #PlasticFreeJuly #climateactionnow #oneplanet #shopsustainable #zerowasteshopping #sustainableproducts #womenwhotravel #cleanbeautyrevolution #greenbeautyrevolution #greenbeautybloggers #cleanmakeup #plasticfreemakeup #plasticfreecosmetics #zerowastemakeup #sustainablemakeup #womanowned #womanownedbusiness #womanownedbiz #cleanbeautyproducts #greenbeautycommunity #greenbeautyproducts #cleanbeautyblogger #leapingbunny #veganbeautyproducts #veganmakeup #plasticfreeliving #reduceplastic #wastefreeplanet #ditchplastic #plasticfreelife
Welcome to grumpy morning Ketti. 🤗 DID YOU KNOW Welcome to grumpy morning Ketti. 🤗 DID YOU KNOW the plastic industry creates ~ 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions? (Source: the OECD, the Guardian, and the journal Nature.) That’s more than commercial aviation, and more than the nation of Great Britain. ✈️🇬🇧 AND WE DON’T HAVE TO USE PLASTICS ANYMORE. Just in case there was any confusion that my purpose with this series was actually to sell you makeup. 💄It’s really to show you that there ARE options out there already that let us stop this entirely pointless waste. The solutions already exist in soooo many categories of things we regularly buy. Don’t worry about the bucket, worry about your drop. Need an incentive? Here’s PART 3: “shape sticks” and multi-use “tinted dew” sticks from @axiology_beauty , a long-time favorite cosmetics brand of mine, founded by a woman of color, sustainably produced, vegan, and 100% free of plastic and other b*llsh!t. ✨You can switch to @axiology_beauty and save 20% with the code TILTEDMAP Any questions? Part 5 coming tomorrow! PS: If you want to see the refillable, plastic-free concealor that I “couldn’t be bothered with” in this, it’s in the previous vid – Part 3! 👉 Don’t forget to follow @tiltedmap for more SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL tips, morning sass & plastic-free products. 🙃 . . . . #PlasticFreeJuly #underconsumption #womanownedbusinesses #womanowned #plasticfreeliving #lowwasteliving #reduceplastic #ecoskincare #greenbeautycommunity #sustainableskincare #deinfluencing #cleanbeautyrevolution #greenbeautyrevolution #greenbeautybloggers #choosetorefuse #ecoblogger #wastefreeliving #ecofriendlyliving #zerowastelife #zerowastemakeup #sustainablemakeup #zerowasteshopping #zerowasteliving #sustainablebrands #breakfreefromplastic #lifewithoutplastic #plasticsucks #climateactionnow #thereisnoplanetb #carbonfootprint
I mean, where else can you watch a makeup “tutor I mean, where else can you watch a makeup “tutorial” with the phrase “that’ll work”?? 🤭 PART 3: This is Elate’s “creme concealor.” (Comes in 9 shades.🎨) As a master of packing light, I use the sample size for travel, but I can show you the bamboo compact at home, too, if you want to see it. (It’s plastic-free and refillable of, course!) ✨Code: TILTEDMAP for 10% off at @elatecosmetics . 💡 Easily recyclable sample sizes of products = try before you buy and create less waste! Save money! Avoid collecting a stash of “not quite right” items that build up in your cabinet! 💡💡 This, too, is #UnderconsumptionCore. You don’t have to entirely give up buying things you enjoy. Let’s just relearn the wasteful habits that have the default for far too long. Thanks to a ton of genuinely innovative small business, there really are fabulous alternatives out there now – no DIYing your skincare/ makeup/ cleaning products required. Part 4 coming tomorrow! 💄 👉 Follow @tiltedmap for more SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL tips & plastic-free products! . . . . . . . . . #underconsumption #womanownedbusinesses #womanowned #plasticfreeliving #lowwasteliving #reduceplastic #ecoskincare #cleanbeautyproducts #greenbeautycommunity #sustainableskincare #deinfluencing #cleanbeautyrevolution #greenbeautyrevolution #greenbeautybloggers #choosetorefuse #ecoblogger #wastefreeliving #ecofriendlyliving #zerowastelife #cleanmakeup #minimalistmakeup #veganmakeup #zerowastemakeup #sustainablemakeup #zerowasteshopping #zerowasteliving #sustainablebrands
