4 Ways to Reduce Food Waste

Save Spare Ingredients for Additional Meals

Plan to use the whole quart of buttermilk (or sour cream or heavy cream) you buy when you need just one cup for the biscuits you’re making. You can double the recipe and freeze half the biscuits and then make pancakes with the rest. Fry up the bologna or low-sodium turkey to serve with eggs after you’ve made a couple of sandwiches and you’re going away for the weekend. Remember to keep your eye on your eggs’ expiration date. Coming close? Make a quiche and pop it in the freezer. Portion bread when you buy a fresh loaf, wrap in foil, and freeze. And remember to collect bits and pieces of vegetables to make stock.
