    I like the idea of the no waste challenge. We all waste so much food each year so I think it is time that we stopped wasting food.

    I was brought up not to waste food, so I hate it when my daughter does. It’s my Grr moment and I make her eat it later when she says she is hungry later on.

    Thanks for Sharing.

    This is such a great idea – I hate wasting food and do my best to make sure everything gets used, but I still get caught out now and then by missed use by dates. Some great recipes to inspire.

    I am so bad at wasting food because I forget to check dates to freeze things and end up throwing a lot of food away because of this! x

    Love the look of that peapod soup πŸ˜‰ Nothing goes to waste in our house … Whatever left overs we have, goes to the dog or me. I’m such a fridge pig.
