Waste Not Want Not Wednesday #58

Got a great gluten free recipe, some frugal, eco-friendly tips or  a healthy living article? Well come join the party!

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? 

Hiya everybody! Phew, it's been a hectic month and a bit. Over the holidays I got a terrible stomach bug after two trips to the hospital (yep, I'm pretty sure it was the hospital that gave me the bug!) for a sprained ankle that won't heal and a sore neck that also won't go away. 

But now that things have settled I'm trying to catch up, and that involves sharing the features from the last 2 Waste Not Want Not Wednesday parties. And here they are in no particular order :) 

Dairy Free Whipping Cream from Fairy Wings and Pixie Dust

School Girl Scramble from To Live and Diet in L.A.

Creamy Paleo Maple-Nut Porridge w/ Banana from Tessa Domestic Diva

Homemade Cough Syrup from Radiant Health

Petition to Whole Foods from Politically Incorrect Health

Top of the Bottom of 2013 from Raia's Recipes

Posts without a link back will not be eligible for features, or being shared on my Pinterest board.

3) 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).
