Friday Food Waste

I've been inspired by The Frugal Girl to participate in her Friday food waste movement. What a neat idea to be held accountable for the food we throw away. So this week, I kept track of the food that I tossed.


Not a great week for veggies in our house...and I"m not really sure why.  The quarter of an avocado and the few Tablespoons of fresh salsa were left over from a chicken southwest salad I made at least 10 days ago.  I thought hubby used it all when he made his salad but I guess not! Also, some basil from the garden in the baggie...too gross to show!  Then there is about 2 servings of green beans that I ignored and about 1/4 Cup of shredded carrots.  Other than that are 2 pieces of pesto/sun dried tomato/chicken pizza.  It's great fresh out of the oven, but the leftovers lack...so no surprise 2 pieces went by the wayside.

I vow to respect my veggies better next week!  Maybe a soup or rice mixed with all leftover veggies next Thursday...  I do have a large head of cabbage that I have NO idea what to do with.  I guess I could make Cole slaw but would love some other ideas or good slaw recipes (I hate fried cabbage, though).

Any suggestions would be welcomed.
