REFLECTION QUESTIONPlanning Track My Wasted FoodWhat did you find you are tossing the most? How can you change your habits to avoid wasting this food?
Marie Listopad 8/19/2024 8:03 PMI do not waste very much. Except for lettuces and some fruit most of what I buy is used. My husband is concerned about me using some potential "trash" as ingredients. I especially like to broccoli stems in homemade soup and can pretty easily hide them there. -

Anne Scheible 8/15/2024 6:47 PMToday 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. -
