How did you incorporate using an entire vegetable (skins, peels, tops, and stalks) during one of your meal preps? What's something new you're going to try that is a zero-waste meal practice?
Melinda Eudy 4/05/2023 7:59 AM
I save the parts of the vegetables that I do not use for a later date when I make bone broth. I use the bone broth when I cook my dog's food. I use the banana peels on the ground around my meyer's lemon tree. The skins provides nutrients that the tree loves.
