We all have personal connections to food, and for many of us, the same goes for why we don’t waste it. Do you have a #NoFoodWaste story?

etsummer The Clean Plate Club was prominent in my family as well. It was awesome learning those things so early, and my mom also taught me how to plan out meals and shop accordingly. Definitely helped me...

DietID_TeamDietitians I think I was in the same club. My parents were also master reinventers - giving new life to leftovers. I picked up lots of creative tricks from this, and also got very good at planning portions...
Egg Shells
Atlanta, GA

Egg shells are an excellent source of calcium. Sprinkle crushed shells around the base of pepper or tomato plants for an extra nutrient boost! #NoFoodWaste

JoanneG Such a cool tip. I'll definitely try this.
-
FarmerDave I saw this last week and tried it, but I just used one egg shell. How many shells to one tomato plant?

munchiemummy Had no idea. What a great tip to store them so I can buy em up when they're cheap in season.

PAFarmer such good #NoFoodwaste advice @munchiemummy!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Love this recipe, especially using madras curry powder, which has an awesome kick. Next time you visit that farmer you should give him this recipe so he can sell more lamb neck.
-
munchiemummy @Rachna what a great idea! I'd love to print off a recipe card(s) to help out local producers.
Eat your turnip greens!

Don't get rid of your turnip greens! Chop them off of your turnips before storing in the fridge in order to help the greens and roots last longer. We like to lightly sauté the greens in garlic and ...
-
FarmerDave I add them to a simple stir fry with ginger and tamari. I never used to keep turnip greens, but I'm so glad I do now.
-
RahulRaRa I wonder if you can use these greens like you use spinach in some Indian flatbreads.
-
olivettefarm @RahulRaRa I bet you could. The turnips greens will cook a little quicker than spinach does possibly. @FarmerDave that sounds good! Gonna have to try that.
