Happiest Monday!
Just a reminder that every day is a new opportunity to change your life, whether that be your diet, your habits, or your mindset. One of my goals for this new year is to generate less waste. As someone that considers going to the grocery store a fun outing, I regularly over-purchase. I will admit that I tend to go overboard on my produce, forgetting about some fruits and vegetables tucked away that are left to perish. I've made it a priority of mine to raid my fridge on a daily basis and make recipes out of items that are almost at the end of their life.
Pictured here is the start to a vegetable soup that I'm making. You may not believe it, but almost every part of a vegetable is useful when making a soup. About to throw out the chopped ends of a carrot? No way! Freeze ends and scraps of a vegetable to use for a vegetable broth. My freezer is stocked with bags of frozen scraps that I use weekly to make broth.
Get creative, save some money, and eat your colors, people.
If you guys would like some recipe tips, comment below!
ReplyDeleteWould you rather me post about budget/time-saving meals, or how to make some of your favorite foods vegan?
I've found that certain vegetable scraps work best when making a broth.
ReplyDeleteI like to stick to carrots, onions, celery, parsnips, tomatoes, and garlic. I've found that adding too many flavors can take away from that classic vegetable broth taste.
Mary this looks delicious! This is the kind of content I would love to keep seeing from you! As a vegetarian I would definitely like to see dishes with rice and beans. I would also like to see some time-saving meals as I am on-the-go a lot of the time! Thank you for sharing and I hope to see more! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! First of all I love the theme of this blog! Everything from the background to the style this is written is very "on brand" with your blog. I definitely need to start eating healthier so this recipe and everything else you decide to post I definitely need to try cooking! I also buy my produce and then forget about it so this may help with using what I always forget about (Plus I didn't even consider that I can freeze them like I do many other things). Well done!
ReplyDeleteHey Mary!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! This year I am trying to eat healthier so I am loving your blog. I think for me changing my eating habits will just make me feel better overall. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see what else you got:)
