As a family of three it’s super helpful to have a small fridge. I mean I would love a “normal” size one but ours is half the size. It really reduces food waste because it’s a true FIFO system. I just wish our freezer isn’t the size of a shoebox, because I can’t store my fantasy quantities of stocks.
There are some statistics that say 15% of food is lost before leaving the farm, and then 30% of that food from grocery stores is thrown away and then that’s where we come in to throw some more away, it’s haunting.
So yes, carrot top pesto was a valiant effort but in vain for the bigger picture.
i love this so much!!! same - i have also just SLOWED DOWN and find the most loosey-goosey meal plan (and a basic compost bucket) makes every bit of diff.
everything that's a little sad-looking can also go into a soup or a frittata or scramble! catch-all, fridge-clearing recipes are so crucial. i also have an area in the fridge labeled "last call" with like half a jalapeno and some cheese or whatever in there.
i make sure to use my greens for things other than salad - they're always so fragile.
