1. MAKE A LIST
Plan ahead by making a list and only buying what you know you’ll use.
2. LEARN THE ART OF FREEZING
Get in the habit of freezing leftovers, bread, vegetables and fruit, instead of throwing them in the bin.
3. REVIVE YOUR VEGGIES
A quick soak in ice water for 5-10 minutes can revive wilted veggies.
4. OVERCOOKED ISN’T OVER FOR GOOD
Overcooked vegetables can always be transformed into soups or sauces. Just toss them in the blender with stock, milk, or cream. Vegetables like broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and potatoes are excellent for this.
5. DON’T BE BANANAS
Browning or spotted bananas are perfectly fine to eat. Bruised parts of bananas may be easily cut away or used. Very brown bananas and frozen bananas are great for baking quick breads, muffins, or cakes.
6. WASTE LESS WITH KIDS
Start with small portions and minimize untouched food. You can always offer seconds when they’re interested.
7. USE IT UP
