#FoodWasteFeast - All-The-Veggies #Bolognese

March 4, 2022

"A Bolognese-style sauce that uses up all the veggies in the fridge is a big win in our book! Perfect for cold weather and clearing out your entire crisper drawer. It’s by no means an authentic Bolognese but its feels and tastes rich and meaty, whether you include meat or not. I’m a big fan of stashing a big pot in your fridge to ladle onto pasta, polenta, roasted veggies, rice, eggs, or whatever else you like.

This one used up the following items that had been hanging around the kitchen:

- 5 slightly wrinkled tomatoes and a half-opened jar of tomato sauce that’s been sitting in the fridge for….weeks?
- A tub of verging-on-too-old mushrooms
- An entire head of broccoli (I often use cauliflower here as well)
- Two carrots that just needed a few brown spots trimmed off
- An entire head of celery

Huge, right? I can’t think of many more dishes that welcome everything from root veggies to brassicas to any kind of mushroom, plus tomatoes in any form whatsoever. Plus they can be old, wrinkly, shriveled, and generally not-great-looking at all, but as long as they’re not moldy or rotten, you can get some good use out of them in this sauce!"

Cooking with #ZeroWaste with the City of #Boston: The #Recipes!

February 7, 2023

"Over the summer we got to work with the City of Boston on the launch of their new curbside food waste collection program! As budding food waste management nerds, we were super excited to help spread the word on how to use the bins as well as how to keep food out of landfill!

Here are some of the Use-It-Up hero recipes we demoed: a Thai-style curry, a frittata, and rice fritters. They’ll help you use up your #leftovers, clear out your fridge, and get a delicious meal on the table fast!"

31 #Sustainable #Recipes That Reduce #FoodWaste

By Jessica
July 2, 2024

"Using sustainable recipes helps in several environmental ways. By using leftovers, we cut down on the amount of food that ends up in landfills, which reduces the release of harmful greenhouse gases.

Ingredients like fruits and vegetables have a smaller carbon footprint compared to meat and dairy, which means by focusing on plant-based recipes, we can decrease the overall carbon emissions from our diets.

When I choose recipes that use local and seasonal ingredients, I also support sustainable agriculture practices that use fewer resources and produce less pollution. This, in turn, helps conserve precious natural resources like water and soil."

No-waste ideas for using up scraps, leftovers, and rescued ingredients

May 21, 2025

"Reducing food waste doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor or fun in the kitchen—in fact, it’s often the opposite. Some of the most creative, delicious meals come from using what you already have: soft produce, stale bread, scrap stems, even leftover wine."

A Shared Lunch! Next to share her lunch is Chloe Alexander, whose article in Vol. 12 No. 3 of Canadian Food Studies addresses food loss and waste as it meets jurisdiction. How do the federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments in Canada address food loss and waste? And are there alternative ways to interpret jurisdiction and amend and improve governance? canadianfoodstudies.uwaterloo.

On a small scale, Alexander’s lunch demonstrates the author’s personal preoccupation with food waste reduction. It’s made of leftovers! "...from a get together with friends—handmade pasta with a tomato/eggplant/mushroom sauce, topped with ricotta and parmesan cheese." (“Yum!” —ed.)

From the personal, Alexander’s article deftly walks readers through the systemic. Read and find out more: doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v12i

I would like to ask strangers for the food they don’t eat

Dear Eric: Often when I’m eating at a restaurant or cafe, I’ll notice other tables leaving half-finished food to be thrown out. In these situations, I’m tempted to either ask if …

Scratching my head with what to do with half a bat of salchichón. I ended up using it like porkroll. It's got a flavor and texture somewhere between salami and porkroll, so serving it along side some scrambled eggs worked pretty well.

Kitchen thoughts....

I do wish we had reliable, good veggie box deliveries near me. I had an excellent one during COVID, but they went back to just commercial supplies when businesses started getting back to normal. They were THE BEST. The quality was excellent yet even a little less cost than supermarkets. I can't find a replacement that is consistent in quality and variety.

I have had such fun this week with a fridge stocked with veg and other things I didn't end up using for xmas, leftovers from what I did make, and items the host of the xmas dinner sent me home with (her leftover dishes plus some fruit and veg as she was going away the next day).

They will have lasted until New Year's day.

It is only this time of the year that I have such bounty to play with, and I've made or composed dishes that I wouldn't normally make. With cost of food so high now, I shop more carefully at other times. During COVID, when I cooked with abandon and shared food widely, the weekly food cost was less than it is today.

My leftovers activity today is to use up leftover beetroot and carrots to make two big jars of fermented drinks. Beetroot kvass and carrot kaanji. I haven't done any ferments for a while, so it is time to start again with some Summer produce.

Used up leftover oranges and clementines after Christmas. Pressed and mixed them with homemade ginger-lemon syrup and whole spices to make a mulled citrus gløgg. Also found a almost, but not quite empty bottle of clouded apple juice, that went right into the pan for a tasty and warming drink.

#Mastoprompt #dreams (indspired)

I rolled over and scooped up my tablet. The #leftovers that had been in the fridge too long had kept me awake, and now a half-dream was demanding life.

The circle was easy, as was the pentagram. The rest of the seal was difficult. Why had @art_of_goulwenr picked something so hard for a personal seal?

I looked at it rather proud. Dreams rarely stay that clear, and objects like seals seldom make sense when you’re awake.

I considered posting it, but it was a private seal, and some might interpret it as demonic. The former weighed more heavily in my decision.

I erased the center and started on a new design: the @pentup seal. “A sexy kitsune,” I thought. A fox for those without weeb diplomas. But d-mn, it looked more like an ogre with huge tits.

But what did I expect? I only dreamed of being an artist.
