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?
Although we're now well in to September and some of you are gearing up for fall, it's still stupid hot in Wisconsin, so I've decided to feature some of the great fruity posts from last week!

And now it's your turn to share something!
Thanks so much for hosting! Also thanks for featuring my post from last week!
ReplyDeleteI am sharing my favorite chocolate avocado pudding this week.
Two of my favorite things together :) Thanks for sharing!
DeleteThanks for hosting again! A lot of people are intimidated by the idea of eating organ meat, so I created a recipe for beginners. It includes chicken livers (mild in flavor, high in nutrition) with a delicious cauliflower rice.
ReplyDeleteSounds great, Eileen. As someone who doesn't really eat meat,I've never really understood why those who do are particular about what kinds of meat/what parts they do, so I'm looking forward to reading your post!
DeleteThankyou for hosting and the lovely feature. Those ice creams sound yummy :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing it with us!
DeleteThose Hot Cross Buns look fun AND tasty! :) I'm sharing another sweet tooth option: Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream (made from soaked cashews and cold-brewed coffee).
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, and thank you for hosting!
That sounds AMAZING! Can't wait to check it out :)
DeleteFirst time here, thanks for hosting. I was checking to see if a Waste Not Wednesday already existed and I found you. So much for an original idea ;-) Look forward to sharing some more stuff in coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Jackson, well I'm glad you found us and thanks for sharing!
DeleteHi Danielle, Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThis week I shared a make-ahead green bean-almond salad with fig-balsamic-mustard vinaigrette. Great for using fresh local or homegrown green beans!
That vinaigrette sounds so awesome!
DeleteThank you for hosting this link party :) I am sharing Maple Apple Crisp, Fresh Tomato Sauce with Sass and Coconut Zucchini-Carrot Muffins.
