Waste Not Want Not Wednesday #21

Got a great gluten free recipe, some frugal tips or a healthy living article?

The Waste Not Want Not Wednesday link-up party is inspired by World Food Day (Oct. 16), and recent articles such as this one that show between 40-51% of food in Canada and America ends up in the garbage.  Over-consumption, lack of knowledge, low cost and over purchasing are common causes of food waste in North America.  This unsustainable over-consumption extends to so many aspects of our lives.

So perhaps if we all share our tips for consuming a little less stuff in general, cooking more responsibly and frugally, and living eco-friendly, we can each take a small part in making our world a little more sustainable.

And besides, who couldn't save a little bit of $$$ anyway? 


Last week's top 3 posts were:

Chicken+puree (35 of 44)


Curried Chicken with Creamy Veggie Puree from Kabochas and Coconut Butter

Making Slow Cooker Ghee from The Auld Grey Mare

Congrats and grab a badge from the right side!


So what kinds of posts are allowed?

1)  Recipes!  Gluten free ones that is. 

2) Articles about food, sustainability, living healthy and frugal, being green, etc

3)  DIY tutorials for using up odds and ends around the house in a frugal fashion.

* Share up to 3 posts per week.  

What are the rules?

1) Post a link on your blog post to back here, or copy and paste the code from the box under the Waste Not Want Not Button on the side bar into the HTML of your post.

2) It might help to leave a comment.  What's your blog and/or your post about?  Is your recipe GF, EF, NF, DF, SF, V (i.e. gluten free, egg free, nut free, dairy free, sugar free, Vegan)

3) Consider telling people you shared here on FB, Twitter or elsewhere and spread the love around, so more people can find this link-up.

4) Don't have a blog? No worries! Share your tips or recipes in the comments section.

5) Visit some of the other posts here, comment on their scrumptiousness/brilliancy/helpfulness/frugality and let them know you found them here and hope for a similar visit.

6) Consider following the Poor and Gluten Free blog on Google+, Facebook, Pinterest or Twitter to stay up to date on happenings here (ok, not a rule, just a little shameless self-promotion).

Each week I'll post the entries on my Waste Not Want Not Pinterest board, and feature different posts on my  Facebook and Google+ pages so be sure to check in there, too to see if you've been featured!


And this week I'm sharing a tutorial for fixing an over-sized, thrifted cardigan: How to fix snags in knit sweaters and go from big to small. 

Now it's your turn to share something!!

  2. Hi Danielle! I get so excited when one of my posts is picked - thanks for featuring my HeartMath articl. For those curious, it's about biofeedback, which shows the heart/mind/body connection in a truly amazing way. This week, I've linked to 2 posts: (1) An inspiring story of a mother who stopped her son’s seizures through diet instead of meds, and (2) An update on olive oil fraud – why it’s happening & how to be sure yours is the real thing. Have a great week!
