Episode 86 Two Manageable Habits That Help Reduce Food Waste.png

Reducing food waste is top of mind for all of us, but it’s also a loaded topic. Taking food waste on can feel so damn big. And having another big thing to do is the last thing we need ever, but especially right now. So this week, we whittled it down to two manageable habits that can make a big difference.

Two Habits Anyone Can Take On

Right around this time last year, we spoke with Roe, formerly of Brown Kids Living, about how to reduce food waste and save money at the same time. With Earth Day having just passes and home quarantine impacting most of the country, we decided to take stock again.

In this year’s conversation about food waste, we’ve focused on two strategies that we think nearly everyone can implement that make a huge difference: storing food properly so that it lasts longer and making use of your food scraps.

Plus, how helpful are both of these strategies right now when we’re trying to use everything up and go to the supermarket as infrequently as possible?

Very.

And, hey, don’t forget our weekly recipes! Meghan shares her recipe for broccoli stalk pesto below (use up those scraps!) and be sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter to get the recipe for Stacie’s pink milk , which also uses up strawberry scraps.
