Real Life Low Waste Meal Plan | July 19
This week, we had a bunch of food to use up. I skipped our weekly delivery from Misfits Market this week because we had too much to use up from previous weeks. I didn’t want things to go to waste.
Several nights, we planned dinner around leftovers. I ended up planning a couple of fun desserts around the produce I wanted to put to use before it went bad. We had pears, ginger, and zucchini to use up, so it went into the desserts I mentioned below. Enjoy a sweeter than usual real-life low waste meal plan.
