  1. Love your blog 🙂

    Lots o salads…a good way to reduce waste. Meal planning helps too. As does the freezer. Sometimes it’s crazy how much bread we keep in there (I think now we have wheat bread, challah, english muffins, corn tortillas, mini wheat pitas, and hamburger buns. What can I say we can’t resist a sale!) I don’t even eat that much bread, so I can tell you it lasts a long time in the freezer!

  2. I would like to know how to minimize food waste too! Being single is hard!

  3. That lunch is phenomenal! Honestly, I love it!!

    We tend to always let bananas go to waste BUT I gladly turn them into banana bread!

  4. I very rarely throw away food (maybe like twice a year!) because I plan out my meals before I buy things and then keep the basic things (like salad ingredients) around and you can always use those in interesting ways 🙂

  5. I actually almost never waste food. The only foods that I end up throwing out are things that Bobby buys and forgets about. If I know something is going to go bad I will force myself to find a way to eat it, or I’ll find a way to keep it good for longer – you can put bananas in the fridge and they’ll keep for a while (they do go brown, but they don’t go bad), you can steam spinach and freeze it (you can do this with a lot of things actually), or you can modify recipes to include the things that you need to use up. I don’t think I’ve had to throw anything away in the last… 2-3 weeks maybe? A while ago I had to throw out some meat (turkey bacon) because Bobby didn’t finish it before it went bad (again, he’s not as good as I am at remembering what needs to be eaten). I come from a very frugal family so it really bothers me when I waste something that I’ve paid for. But this can be bad, because I’ll end up forcing myself to eat things that I bought that I don’t like, or finishing food just because I don’t want to throw it out, even when I’m full… Wow, sorry for the long comment 🙂

    Happy weekend!

    hi!!!
    i reduce food waste by planning every single thing i’m cooking , (five meals) plust the “staples” that I know i go through each week: yogurt (2) milk (1) coffee (1 lb) etc…… usually, our fridge is totally empty except for garlic, beer, and chipotles in adobo by the time saturday rolls around. haha it looks like a frat house inside my refrigerator 🙂

  7. I definitely try not to waste food. I hate throwing things out!

    Love the new header!
    Sorry if it’s been up there for a few days… i’m a little behind on my google reader! hehe.

    We’re using the same theme! 🙂

  8. Caprese salad…mmmmmmmm!!! Sounds so good right now!

  9. hmmmmmmm… i end up throwing away my veggies and fruit A LOT! i plan on fixing this problem by buying those produce savers.. and veggie crisper things.. if i dont use the stuff right away and then have a busy week and dont have time to cook- i forget to use it and then it goes bad..

  10. I hate wasting food, so I rarely do it. One thing I’ll do if veggies or fruit are on their last leg is make something with them and then freeze it – soups, muffins, etc. It makes me feel better and means I’ll have something delicious later.
