Save money without wasting food

Don't waste food; if you have leftovers from a dish, organize your menu to make the most of it and save money as soon as possible, it's just a matter of good planning. It's not very difficult to turn leftovers of vegetables, fruits, and some ingredients into delicious dishes. With a little creativity, you can use the food that is commonly wasted and prepare other dishes that not only make the most of the food but also save you money. Broccoli Stalks. If you used broccoli in your recipe, use the stalks by chopping them up, mixing them with some cabbage, and preparing a salad with your preferred dressing. Use Citrus Peels. When using the juice or segments of citrus fruits like mandarins, oranges, and lemons, you can take advantage of the peels. To store them, arrange them in a tray, cover with water, and freeze. You can use the peels to make delicious and refreshing drinks or delightful cakes. Beet Greens. If you used beets, don't throw away their leaves. Chop them and blanch them. Roast the beets, combine them with the chopped leaves and a bit of goat cheese. You'll have a quick, healthy, and very colorful salad. Mushroom Stems. Don't just use the cap of the mushroom; you can also use the stems, finely chopped, to add more flavor to your ground meat. Parsley Stems. It's very common to waste the stems of cilantro and parsley and only use the leaves. To avoid wasting them, use the parsley stem in your boiling chicken broth, and you'll notice the flavor difference. Strain the broth before using it. Carrots. If your carrots are overripe and have a soft consistency, place them in a container with water and ice for a few hours before eating. Eggs nearing expiration. If you have eggs close to expiring, use them to prepare a nutritious snack. Make hard-boiled eggs (boiled for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your preferred consistency); they are easy to peel and can be served with lemon and salt or in a sandwich. Overripe Fruit. If you have fruit that is very ripe, like bananas, you can use them to make a loaf. If they are apples or pears, you can peel them, remove the core, cut them into pieces, cook them with a bit of sugar and water, and once they are soft, you can accompany your breakfast with a bit of fruit, for example, on toast. As you can see, it's just a matter of thinking about what other recipes we can use our extra ingredients for. You can organize a weekly menu that has repeated ingredients (not all necessarily) so you can buy more (sometimes it's cheaper wholesale) and avoid wasting food. Save money!
