I am very honest about my struggles to not waste food. My family has gotten fairly good at eating the left-overs from a restaurant in fact sometime you have to claim ahead of time. However, we are terrible about using the left-over bits of food that  are cooked at home.

Today I am going to declare a win in the zero food waste  along with the free dinner meal we enjoyed. I took left-overs to make pulled pork tator tots and pulled pork mac and cheese.  I used the remaining bits of a veggie tray, single squash and handful of green beans to make a veggie stir fry.  To complete the meal, we added cole slaw from the fridge.

Total out of pocket ZERO!
