Great informational newsletters Anne-Marie. Day 1 was tough because I know that I tend to insert awareness about the environment in a lot of conversations with friends, family and neighbors. And even if most are onboard, I was told a few days ago that what I do sounds like virtue signaling… sigh. I have a harder time getting involved in associations so I will certainly look at the links you provided in #2.

This last newsletter speaks to my heart because that is what I have been doing (and preaching, Ha!).

What works best for no waste of fresh veggies: know exactly what they are going to be used for, and prep them as soon as you come back from the grocery store: cleaned and cut up veggies, well stored, last the week in the fridge.

What I love to do with leftovers are Quiche! You can put any combination of leftover veggies+cheese (I am not vegan) and you add spices, herbs and it is always good!

Hi Anne-Marie… this topic is near and dear to my heart… as a nutritionist at Choices Markets on the Canadian west coast, I’m a huge fan of the importance of meal planning and I share your meal planning template with everyone I consult with (introducing them to your website while I’m at it!)

It all starts with a plan: we eat better, waste less and I always emphasize cooking once and eating at least twice from that effort.

Loving this challenge and shared it with my adult kids. Thanks for all you do- Happy New Year!
