It is always great to use to butter corn on the cob when you do not have bread.

In the vegetable scraps bag you can also add herb stems that you would have removed. Adds a lot of flavour! garlic skins, too – love garlic!!

If you keep the bread in a paper bag, it won’t go moldy. I always dry my bread that way – smaller pieces are best – and them whirl them in the food processor for great bread crumbs. Can’t remember the last time I had to buy bread crumbs.

great ideas! I am definitely going to throw my almost too rotten bananas in the freezer tomorrow for smoothies!

Good idea about the butter wrappers! I have two ‘waste not’ tips: a compost bowl on the counter (hidden behind the coffee maker) and a “broth bag” in the freezer (stock worthy kitchen scraps go into a ziploc bag until I’m ready to make broth). Here’s how I make my broth: http://randomteaspoon.blogspot.com/2009/10/cool-way-to-make-hot-broth.html

Great tips! I love to make homemade breadcrumbs out of stale bread. And I love the freezer tip. I have found the key is to label the items though; I have had way too many “mystery” packets in my freezer!

Awesome tips! Unfortunately, my bread usually gets moldy before it goes stale But I absolutely love the onion peel advice! And the rest of it, too. Thanks!
