Cleaning a Wooden Cutting Board - Becca Piastrelli
Deepen Your Roots & Remember Your Belonging

Hey there,

creative gal!

You’ve landed on a post I wrote a few years ago -
back when I was known as The Dabblist and was exploring all sorts of ways I could create beautiful things with my hands. It was a powerful time for me — awakening my creativity after suppressing it for so long — but this space has since evolved to reflect the woman I’m becoming.

So, if you stick around (and I hope you do!), you’ll be hearing from me weekly-ish on the topics of: 

Expressing your authentic self

Meaningful handcrafting

Sisterhood

Living with the seasons

Feel free to enjoy this post and this space, and I hope to see you around.

Love Becca

Cleaning a Wooden Cutting Board

Today, I'd like to share with you the way I've been cleaning my wood cutting board over the past few years. After splitting one too many wood cutting boards in the dishwasher several mishaps in my earlier apartment-living years, I discovered a non-toxic way to thoroughly clean away all food residue from the wood surface (even raw meat).

I use two ingredients: lemon and sea salt.

Lemons make incredible disinfectants (in addition to stain removers and metal polishers!) and I like to keep 5-10 of them in my kitchen at all time.

I sprinkle the sea salt chunks on the board, cut the lemon in half, squeeze the juice out, and start scrubbing. Once I've scrubbed the whole surface, I wipe it down with a damp cloth and my cutting board is ready for its next adventure!

Join us at spring’s threshold on the sacred lands of Glastonbury, the place of mythical Avalon — the Island of Apples and where the ancient ways still live in the stones and waters beneath the soils. During our time together, we’ll journey to sacred sites (think ancient whispering trees, stone circles, burial mounds, and sacred springs) to learn about and receive healing from the land and the wise elders who come from it. We’ll also be learning to work with our dreams to reconnect and return to reciprocal relationship with the world. This is such a unique opportunity — to come together on lands that have been journeyed to for thousands of years and tap into the gateways of the greater mystery to quicken your own remembering.
