\u2022 Keep an eye on your cupboard and refrigerator to use food while it\u2019s still fresh<\/span>
\u2022 Plan your shopping list around foods you already have and need to use up<\/span>
\u2022 Eat your earthquake\/tsunami food before the packages expire!<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>\u2022 That\u2019s how we got French toast: just add stale bread to a milk and egg mix, then sizzle it up with butter on a pan!<\/span>
\u2022 Use just about any combination of savory leftovers from last night\u2019s meal by making it into soup: add water, bouillon, broth, coconut milk, a beverage, or tomato sauce and heat.<\/span>
\u2022 Or take last night\u2019s dinner leftovers, mash them up, shape it into balls or patties, sautee it, and serve it with a suitable sauce or condiment. <\/span>
\u2022 Take any leftover starch, such as rice, quinoa or potatoes and use it to make Egg-in-a-Hole in a hot, oiled skillet with a lid for a tasty, protein-rich dish.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u2022 Empty liquid food and drink contents into your garden (preferably) or down the drain BEFORE recycling the container<\/span>
\u2022 Compost your food scraps, either in a worm bin outside or a food cycler inside, and get that compost into a garden – your own or someone else\u2019s! They\u2019ll likely share their fresh food with you!<\/span>
\u2022 When you cannot compost, using the garbage disposal selectively for soft, non-fibrous, non-fatty foods is better than putting them in the trash to contribute to greenhouse gasses<\/span><\/p>\n
