Last week was Waste Less Live More week and we took the challenge.
It’s pretty simple really.
A week of tips to help your family and the planet live a little better together.
Meat free Monday
Try something new Tuesday
Waste less Wednesday
Thrifty Thursday
Fruitful Friday
Share something Saturday
Seasonal Sunday
Meat Free Monday we had a great Moroccan butternut squash stew but we scoffed it all before I remembered to take a pic but the kids had great fun picking a huge Blackberry haul which we ate for pudding with some ice cream. #MeatFreeMonday
Waste Less Wednesday we dug in to the back of the freezer and fridge and came up with a great mushroom and spinach risotto with this lot (have to admit I did open a bottle of wine to add), and I did remove the mould first! #wastelesswednesday
Fruitful Friday we picked our own apples from the tree in the garden and made a crumble with some of the blackberries we’d saved. #fruitfulfriday
If you fancy joining the challenge with your kids you can follow the simple 5 day tips above or check out the Waste Less Live More website.
Great idea for a challenge, I think we have wate not day and thrifty day every day with a big family and pigs for anything we fail to eat. Loving the look of your apple tree.
Well done you for managing to not waste so much food, I bet that risotto tasted delicious!
Nipping over from Country Kids.
I was cutting mould of the edge of cheese last night as well, the stuff that comes in the resealable bags seems to go off very quickly once you have opened it in comparison to the stuff that comes cellophane wrapped.
We’ve been eating out of date stuff for years in this house. No one has ever been ill (so far!)
