Eat your plants. Save your pans. Save the earth.
Earth worthy tips from our kitchen pros:
Chef Lorelei
Lovely lonely cabbage~
Seems it lingers longer than most veggies in the drawer and I'm glad for that! Don't throw it away!
- Slice it thin and toss into salad for extra crunch (fiber too:)
- Chopped up with a little mayo and lime juice, makes a delicious, quick slaw to add to anything from tacos to BBQ and sandwiches.
- Sauteed and caramelized, it pairs well and tastes great tossed into pasta.
Whole chicken~
Learn to roast it whole in the oven or on the grill and use it to the last drop!
- The meat is delicious for dinner and leftovers make a tasty sandwich the next day.
- Bones can be turned into a delicious broth for soups, sauces and stews.
- The ultimate "zero" waste food
Glass container storage~
I always have parially used onions after prepping meals and store them for my next meal prep. I have found glass is the best:
- Glass containers don't absorb smells of strong odor veggies
- Tight lid keeps any odors from tainting other foods in the fridge
- Reusable, recyclable, dishwasher safe and will not leach onion flavors from one use to the next
- Mason jars are perfect ... for all of the above reasons and you can still use them for canning, making jams & preserves
