Getting take out we are frequently left with pieces of leftovers such as little packets of butter. I’m not excited about the waste of plastic, but I also don’t want to waste the food which is already in our fridge…
In this case, I wanted to make macaroni and cheese. The boxed mac and cheese needed butter and milk, which I had leftover. The question in a movie we were watching came up recently asking why there is obesity in some countries and others have people dying of hunger. In reality, it’s even happening in the same country. Buying food that later goes to waste is so easy to do, one of the solutions is meal planning but we still can end up with some leftover pieces here and there. We order meals each week from Home Chef which covers part of our week, but even with that I sometimes have a few things left. Our meal from last night included Burgers and we only used half the onion – My husband isn’t big on onions…. so now the other half an onion is going to be put into something we use for another meal. Onion petals in the air fryer are one quick choice that comes to mind, but I can also add them to something else we make.
