Don’t toss those food scraps!

One of my favorite things to experiment with in the kitchen is how to save food scraps from the compost bin and turn them into something that’s not only edible, but downright delicious.

I wasn’t always this way – in fact, for far too long I was downright wasteful with food. But once I began making meal planning a habit and it seemed silly to throw out the food you’d spent time planning, shopping for, and cooking each week.

Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite ways to repurpose those food scraps you’d otherwise toss. I hope this sparks ideas to turn your food trash into treasure!
