[quote=Anonymous]A couple of things re: waste:

I throw veg scraps in a ziplock bag in the freezer--carrot peelings and ends, outside leaves and cores of cabbage, onion skin and the root end, the spines (??) of kalel eaves, parsley stems, etc etc and make veg stock when the bag is full (then the cooked remains go to compost). I use the veg stock as a liquid in cooking constantly and have noticed it actually gets a ice almost smoky aroma. Stock from turkey and chicken carcasses obviously. Beef not since it was common practice to bone roasts, but years ago I would save the bones.

One pot meals --potato hash, rice and beans, lentil rice dishes are the ones I make mostly--are great because you can throw in whatever vegetables are hanging out in your fridge. Also applies to soups and stews. If you google you will get ideas as to seasoning--and if I'm not sure if some herb or spice will work added to the ones I'm already using I will ask google about pairing x with y, which has helped me find new ways of seasoning dishes I'm used to making.

if you have some random ingredients you want to use up google the ingredients--2 or 3--and almost guarantee some interesting recipes you would never have thought of will appear. I've discovered a lot of new dishes that way.
