Using up leftovers

henmuffin

Hi, I have just seen this really good website which helps you work out quantities of food needed and ideas for using up leftovers, ie minimising waste. Its given me some food for thought !
www.lovefoodhatewaste.com. I hope it helps some of you folk. Mind you any leftovers we have usually goes to feed my chickens. They are happy with that arrangement. :rolleyes:

henmuffin thank you for alerting us to this valuable website. we don't have chickens yet (need to build them fox-proof housing first), but the few (not-for-compost) scraps we do leave usually go on the bird table. a resident family of magpies thrives on them....

Thank you for the website link. I haven't had a proper, indepth look yet, but it looks very useful, indeed.

I try to waste as little as possible. The dinner I had on Friday was made up of different leftovers and other things that wouldn't make up a full portion. It was most delicious and my littlie enjoyed it, too

DH was horrified when I stopped him putting a small amount of mince from shepherd's pie in the bin!

"It will be nice on top of a micro baked potato tomorrow" I said - and he just looked scared!

Hope this hasn't been covered but as we are really skint the only way to cut back is the cost of food.

Hi don't want to be in debt,

There's a recent thread with some links that might help you so I've merged your thread with it. Also have a look at this thread:

Leftovers? Use it up! Don't throw it in the bin!
