Remember months ago when I asked you (on Facebook) if you wanted me to start posting about products, kitchen gadgets and other misc. things I like? You probably do because you all overwhelmingly said yes.
And then remember how I never posted anything? Yeah, that sucked right?
Well, I am finally starting that post series and I am calling it, “Things I Like”.
A friend of mine has an adorable blog called “Things I Like” where she posts about random things she likes – like recipes and mostly her insanely cute, smart and sassy daughter. Isn’t imitation the best form of flattery? I think so and since every time I swing by Andrea’s site I feel happy, I decided to keep it simple and stick with what makes sense and makes me happy.
I plan to mix up Thursdays a bit and alternate between “Things I Like” and “Guest Blogger of the Week”. A great suggestion from a reader who emailed me and asked me to please, please, please start posting about products and what not. So thank you Leslie T. 
Ok, enough with all that – let’s get to some Things I Like…
I am really liking freezer composting.
I HATE bugs. I HATE them in the house. I especially dislike ants and fruit flies and I definitely don’t want them in my kitchen. Which is why we started freezer composting in the first place – our countertop composter was a fruit fly magnet.
So far this freezer composting bin is working great. My only complaint is the size. I just wish it was slightly larger. I feel like we are emptying it every day but in all fairness we do cook a lot so maybe that is just par for the course.
Some other things I like about it.
It was inexpensive.
It is silicone and easy to clean.
I can pull it out of the freezer when prepping and cooking, leave it on the kitchen island and toss waste directly into it.
I do feel lucky that we live in a city that encourages urban composting and provides a special receptacle to collect it on a weekly basis. Some neighbors even have compost piles (in addition to fruit and vegetable gardens, chickens, goats and bees). We don’t and so far it has been easy to empty directly into our biodegradable Food Waste Bags.
So far so good. Anyone else freezer compost? Or have a compost pile?

This is revolutionary to me. Miami is sooo behind here. This has, though, made me decide to investigate more….

Do you have counter-top composting Keely? or just none at all?
none at all!
We live in an apartment and they don’t have any options for it. I tried to check the Miami-Dade website but unless you can create one in your backyard the city doesn’t have a way to help out.

Bummer!
Hopefully, they adopt a composting program sooner than later!
What a great idea … So glad to see someone else out there does this besides my hubby (I lovingly thought he was crazy)

Do you have a similar freezer composting container CJ?
Have graden composted raw waste veg and fruit for years but recently started using the Bokashi method for cooked/processed food. Slow start but hopeful this will save completely ‘wasting’ cooked uneaten food.

I have never heard of this Bokashi method – I’ll have to look it up! Thanks
Wow what an awesome alternative to counter composting!

I am really liking it so far Joanne!
I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this! It’s brilliant! I fight the fruit flies all summer long, move all the fruit to the fridge, take scraps outside every time I cook, it’s a total pain. I just ordered mine online!
Right? Yeah for the no more fruit flies!!!
