I was given some old apples - almost ready to throw out. I made cinnamon applesauce out of them in the crockpot.

Today I made chicken broth from the carcass of roasted chicken and vegetable soup out of old vegetables that had been languishing in the refrigerator.

Today I made lunch out of lots of odds and ends in the frig: mushrooms, peppers, onion, feta cheese. Sautéed all that and wrapped it up in a tortilla. Tasty and cleaned out a lot of space in the refrigerator.

I’ve been working my stores of food down. I have so much in the pantry, the frig and the freezer that it’s hard to get control of it all.

  I always think it's a fun challenge to figure out how to use up what you have without shopping more if you can. Good luck! I hope you can come up with some interesting new combos!

We had a poor start to this challenge. I didn’’t communicate to my spouse that I had signed up for the challenge and one of the first nights he had left food out of the refrigerator for several hours. It helps if you are both “on board” with the goal.

  Very true. 😕 I remember last year needing to remind Mom to recycle wasted food rather than tossing it in the trash.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Cooking Reimagine Leftovers

How have you modified what you do with leftovers to make sure nothing goes to waste?

We have been eating leftovers for lunch for years and yet we still have portions that get thrown out. We have a new refrigerator that is counter depth. Hopefully things won’t get “lost” in the back like they did in our old refrigerator. However, there is not a good space in this new frig for an “eat first” area.
