People are beginning to shift their priorities — elevating experiences over stuff —

and enjoying better memories, healthier lifestyles and stronger relationships. Here are

some simple ways you can get more of the good stuff in the kitchen this holiday season:

1 Eat Unprocessed Foods — Especially Fruits, Vegetables and Grains: Make sustainable food choices. Take advantage of the delicious food available locally: apples, cheeses, meats, and much more.

2 Reduce Wasted Food: Carefully consider your guest list when preparing or ordering food so you’ll have the food people most enjoy in the right quantities. Ask guests to bring their own containers to take home leftovers.

3 Practice Good Food Preservation Techniques: Fruits and vegetables that you canned yourself make special gifts.

4 Buy Durable and Used Goods for the Kitchen: Reusable cloth napkins and durable plates and silverware make holiday meals special.

5 Prepare and Eat Meals Together at Home: Ask friends to help prepare food and then serve it family-style.

6 Reduce Packaging Related to Food: Control the clutter by bringing tote bags to the store, using durable containers and eating less processed foods.
