Thank you for the reminders--my edge is to prep veges as soon as I bring them home--so for the next week to choose celery and nut butter for an easy snack, reach for a bowl of beautiful greens with shredded carrots & beets prepped & ready for a salad, or a big batch of steamed cauliflower or broccoli leftovers... making time to do this prep will help me eat cleaner on my mostly solo schedule and waste less.
Love this so much, Anne Marie! Especially love the reminder that composting does not reduce food waste, and should be reserved for regeneratively disposing of food that is no longer edible!
Wondering if you think mentioning soaking rice, beans, nuts, seeds, would be a positive addition for your readers, or if it would make their burden too heavy. I'm sure you know that soaking til sprouting exponentially increases the nutrient valuse of whatever food it is. Thank you. MEW
Thank you for all your effort on this uphill battle, I'm right with you!
Old beans certainly don't soften well with cooking but they do improve after being cooked and frozen!

Yes, a hibernation in the freezer does wonders for old beans. I freeze them in their cooking liquid and it's a good base for enchilada filling.
I appreciate your efforts.
