]]> Around a third of all food produced globally goes to waste every year, which is a huge environmental and economic problem. Every household can contribute to solving this problem by sticking to some basic rules that’ll help you reduce your food waste.

Plan Your Meals

Meal planning is so underrated and many people are still not aware of all the benefits it brings. Not only will you reduce food waste by planning your meals, but you’ll also save a ton of money, time, and stress nerves.

Shop Smart

When you go shopping buy only food that you really need—that’s why meal planning is important. Bring a shopping list with the ingredients you need and make sure to stick to it.

🛒SPROUTS HAUL FOR KETO DAY 🛒 . . I went to my local sprouts yesterday to pick up some goodies (needed more stevia drops). The thing I like about sprouts now is that they have “keto” tags on all their goods so it makes it a lot easier for you to scour the aisles like a keto pro! I would still check the label because some items still have higher carbs and sugar than I would prefer. . . Some pretty good finds! That kimchi is my jam! . . . #keto #ketodiet #ketoinfo #ketosis #ketoaf #ketoapproved #ketojourney #ketobeginner #groceryshopping #ketoweightloss #ketothings #grocery #keepingitketo #ketoadapted #ketolifestyle #ketogenicdiet #ketogeniclifestyle #ketogenic #ketones #grocerycart #ketohaul #ketosprouts #groceryhaul #haul #lowcarb #lowcarblifestyle #sprouts #sproutsfarmersmarket

Store Food Properly

If you want your food to last as long as it should, it’s important to learn how to store it properly. For example, most fruits and vegetables should be stored in a cool, dry area and eggs should be kept in their original container from the store in the refrigerator.

Feed Animals

In case you have some table scraps or food that you know you won’t eat before it expires, feed it to your pets or other animals.

Another week another perv! When people look back at our era of taking food pics, they’ll probably wonder what we were on! And in our scripture of social media it’ll say we were high…high on life that is. But seriously, I have no idea why I like looking at other people’s groceries! But I do! And here I am doing another flat lay of my groceries 😬 This week is every fruit and veggie heavy! I’m trying to snack on fruit and veg instead of 100 blocks of chocolate in two seconds. Too much sugar gave someone a belly ache and a sugar crash. I wonder who?????? 😅 Any who, what do you think I’ll make this week??? Winner gets my undying stalker-like love. That is all 💚 👀 #groceryperv #joeiscreepy

]]> If you have ever tried to cut into a baguette that has been in your pantry for a little too long and not found it to be the soft, luscious loaf it used to be, you are not alone. However, stale bread can be saved so easily and in a very delicious way by making it into croutons!  This recipe is so easy and can not only help amp up your cooking but also reduce your food waste in the process.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjuA_elU1c/

Recipe

  1. First, start off with any stale bread you have. That can be a ciabatta, baguette, sliced bread, anything that just is not amazing anymore.
  2. Then, cut the bread into cubes that are relative all the same size so they cook evenly.
  3. Put the bread on a baking sheet and drizzle over olive oil, salt, pepper, and whatever other seasonings you like. Some nice pairings are dried Italian herbs, paprika, or even cumin for a Latin-inspired salad.
  4. Then, put the bread into a 375 F oven for 5-10 minutes, until the bread has browned nicely.
  5. Allow them to cool, and then pair them with your favorite salads! You can also put them into soups to add crunch instead of dipping bread into it.

]]> Whether you’re going away for a week or a month, it’s always a good idea to clean out your fridge before you leave. Making meals with only the ingredients you have in your fridge before you go on a trip will not only save you time by eliminating a trip to the grocery store, but money, and is even more eco-friendly.

So, if you need some help in this department, here’s what you need to know.

Base Ingredients

Stored properly, things like onions and garlic can actually last a while, maybe even the duration of your trip. So don’t feel like you need to use all of them before you leave, but when you do, make sure they’re in a cool, dark place, but not in the fridge!

Mixing and Matching

If you feel like you have a lot of produce but things that don’t really go together, here are some good ideas of how to use them up!

If you have lettuce and some root vegetables, roast them up and make it into a roasted veggie salad. Or, boil or roast everything, throw them into a blender, and make a fantastic and healthy soup! This is a great way to use up dairy products as well.

Whether you’re peeling an orange for a snack or trimming the tops of strawberries, there’s always food waste when it comes to fruit! If you want to utilize the whole fruit and get a real bang for your buck to make these DIY projects with fruit scraps.

Apple Jelly

Both the core and skin of an apple are edible, but they’re not to nice to bite into depending on what you’re cooking. But, instead of throwing them away, save them for an apple jelly! Boil the scraps in water, strain, add sugar and lemon juice and you’ll have an upgrade on your regular pb&j!

Chocolate Covered Citrus Peels

Citrus peels are completely edible, although if you bite into one right now it would be very bitter. But, if you blanch them in hot water the bitterness is really mellowed out, and then it’s the perfect vehicle for dipping into chocolate! Let the chocolate harden and you have a treat with a side of vitamin C!

Fruit Scrap Sangria

Everyone loves sangria, and the best part is all the pieces of fruit you see! Instead of using fresh fruit, save your scraps and put that into a sangria! For red wine, apples, and citrus are unstoppable. For white wine, you can use anything lighter like kiwi skins, peach peels, or anything else you have lying around.

]]> Looking inside your refrigerator and finding moldy, wrinkly, and totally untouched produce. Leaving things inside of your fridge when they aren’t supposed to be there is one of the best ways to create more food waste.

Food waste not only fills our landfills, but it also empties your wallet. So, if you want to make less waste and use all the food you buy during your shopping, find out where all of your produce should really be stored.

Potatoes

Potatoes are too sensitive to be put into the fridge, but they should always be in a dark place so that they don’t start sprouting. The best place to keep them is a drawer or cupboard that is nice and dark. Also, don’t leave them next to onions or they’ll go bad faster.

Onions and Garlic

The rules for potatoes are the same for onions and garlic. Even though you have to keep them away from potatoes, you can always put any type of onion and garlic together in a safe dark place.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxpiZYSIGiu/

Tomatoes

If you buy slightly underripe tomatoes, but them in a paper bag and store them in a cool, dark place until they fully ripen. Once they do, you can just leave them out on the counter, no fridge necessary!

The cold from the fridge is actually one of the ways they get mealy, so don’t do it!

]]> More often than none, we go to the grocery store when we still have a pretty packed fridge. Although it may not look full to us, there is probably more in there than you think. In the US alone, each person on average throws away 1 pound of food per day, which means that we aren’t totally utilizing the food we have in our refrigerators and pantries. To combat this, try completely emptying your food spaces before going shopping.

Get Creative

Before you go to the store, look at your fridge and pantry and see what items you have to work with. Think about the fresh produce you have and see if any of them go together in a certain dish or cuisine. If you have trouble getting creative, type in the foods you have into the internet and something will definitely pop up.

Freeze

If you see that some vegetable or fruit is starting to go bad, freeze it! You can use it later to make infusions, stocks, and more, and will allow you to use that item in a new and innovative way.

Freeze

If you see that some vegetable or fruit is starting to go bad, freeze it! You can use it later to make infusions, stocks, and more, and will allow you to use that item in a new and innovative way.
