Kristen, a.k.a. The Frugal Girl posts her weekly food waste on Fridays. She has inspired me to be more mindful to not waste food, and to use it up before it ends up inedible and fuzzy in the refrigerator. So, I’m jumping on board and joining in the Food Waste Friday fun 😉 After missing last week, this is my third week posting.
This week, I some romaine lettuce, a small chunk of meatloaf and more than a slice of gluten-free pizza. The lettuce was buried at the bottom of my crisper and apparently my mind, because when I remembered about it, I was sure it was only a week old but looking inside the leaves convinced me otherwise. The meatloaf was wasted out of sheer stupidity. I put it in the container and then didn’t put the lid on it and put it in the fridge. See? Totally stupid. And the gluten free pizza? Well, that was an experiment gone wrong. Mr. KB is gluten intolerant, and pizza is the one thing he missing the most (other than birthday cake!) so we have been trying and trying to find substitute for the usual gluten-filled crust. Other than Pizzaville’s GF pizza, we’ve been pretty much out of luck on the home-made-pizza-front. I’ll do a post on this most recent crust failure later on though. Suffice to say, the piece pictures wasn’t the only piece that was tossed, but it was the only one I snapped a picture of (incidentally, I apologize for the poor quality of the photos. I took them with my phone out of haste, but don’t think I’ll do that again!)
Yes, I agree. I fairly shameful showing this week. But, but, but, Im’ma gonna do a lot better next week *grin*
I hope you all have a wonderful Supercalifrugalisticexpialidocious weekend!
have you tried califlower crusts for pizza yet? my gluten issues aren’t severe enough for me to want to play around with gf crusts, but people i know who have bigger issues with it seem to like it.
Hi Katie! No, I haven’t tried cauliflower crust for pizza yet. I’ll have to look that up and give it a try. It couldn’t be worse than the rice-based one from last night!
Now I see why you were so determined to eat that more-than-a-week left over Shrimp Alfredo – thanks for not throwing me under that bus…!
You’re welcome, my love!
You make me smile 🙂
