Heloise tip— Store jared items like salsa cheese dip horseradish applesauce plus yougurt, cott cheese, sour cream etc. tightly close in the fridge upside down. mold needs air to grow Amazing how long the stuff lasts. Also any containers that have had mold in them soak in viniger to kill all of the spoors.
Left over veg’s seal in small plastic frezer bag and add to soups. Each seperate do not add next days to yesterdays. could cause food poisening as yesterdays thaws a bit.

I’m hoping that you didn’t discard the jar as it can be recycled.

I actually don’t mind left-over green beans. If you sprinkle them with toasted seseme seeds or toasted almonds it greatly improves them.

I had a great waste save this week. A few weeks ago I opened a can of coconut milk for a recipe and didnt’ use all of it. I was afraid that it was going to go bad before I used it. Fortunately I found a recipe for Brazilan Chicken that used coconut milk and some other extras in the fridge. No waste and a yummy dinner!

I actually had a great week for food waste! It’s because I bought a vitamix last weekend, so we’ve pretty much been eating nothing but smoothies and vitamix ice cream all week! You can even make soup in a vitamix!

I actually have some corn in the fridge that I’m feeling the same way about. Blech!
