Eating Right to Reduce Food Waste

The topic of food waste is getting a lot more attention these days. A good place to start is right in your own kitchen.

Reduce Food Waste

Here's a Tip!

Since we are discussing veggies and food waste........use your veggie scraps to make your own vegetable stock.  Save all your scraps from onions, celery, peppers, carrots, etc. - basically, anything you would use in soup.  Do not use stronger flavored vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower as this can give the broth a bitter taste.  Place the vegetable scraps in a plastic bag (or better, in a reusable container) and store in the freezer.    When your container is full, put the veggie scraps in a large pot of water, add some salt & pepper, maybe some oregano and boil for 15-20 minutes.  You have just used scraps to make veggie stock!
