Freedom in a Can: Adventures with Hamlet

Do you have Greener Dreams for 2024? Traveling and living more sustainably was one of our major goals when we hit the road in Hamlet back in 2012. We were tired of high electric and propane bills, our mortgage, and all of the expenses necessary to maintain a traditional home. We wanted to figure out a way to travel that would allow us the freedom to live, travel, and work, but without the high price tag associated with owning a home. We found it...and we call it #canlife! Along our journey, we've discovered some fantastic gear and services that have helped us live more sustainably, save a ton of money, and fit our tiny lifestyle. We became affiliates with some of these brands that are in line with our lifestyle goals and values to help spread the word about the great products and services they offer. These innovative companies are run by folks who love adventure as much as we do, with most being family-owned and/or started by women. Please use our links and promo codes below to...

SPICY SQUASH BISQUE Sometimes life just hands you pumpkins... A fellow camper handed me a pumpkin last week, one that she had purchased to decorate her campsite but didn't want to pack up and take home. With the weather in the mountains of New Mexico turning colder, we decided to turn it into soup...but not just any soup.  This vegan seasonal bisque fuses the sweet and savory flavors of pumpkin and butternut squash with the soul warming spiciness of chipotle. A splash of coconut milk adds a creamy finish which turns an average pot of squash soup into a hearty bowl of comfort food. To accompany the bisque, Hutch baked up some of his delicious  Fry Bake Focaccia  and topped it with caramelized onions and fire-roasted, New Mexican Hatch chilies.  What started as a kind gesture, ended as a delicious meal.  I wish we had her contact information to share with her what we created with her kindness!
