It’s Friday Guys. Food Waste Friday.
I’m not hosting this week, Kristen is (the original founder and true inspiration of #FoodWasteFriday) over at hers. See link at the bottom. Please do head on over and link up.
Nevertheless, whether hosting or not, I’m participating.
I follow my No Waste Tastes Great routine every Friday.
And boy are you in for a treat.
I’m kidding of course.

Simply Being Mum’s Friday Fridge
Top Shelf – Spreads, grapes, 1 corn on the cob and beer
Top Middle Shelf – Cuke, pre-prepped salad, peppers, cheese, yoghurt and emergency pizza
Bottom Middle Shelf – carrots, soya milk, cider and an empty cheese container
Bottom Shelf – coconut milk and tikka paste
Door – milk
There’s a few remnants from the barbecue we had last weekend. The beer and cider mainly. I tend not to keep alcohol in the fridge. The pre-prepped salad is hanging around also.
The plan this weekend is to use up all the salad so it does not spoil. The carrots I’ll rustle up into my favourite slow cooked soup and freeze it for the Hubby’s packed lunches. The coconut milk is likely to be added also to the recipe, unless anyone knows of a reason it shouldn’t?
Finally there’s an emergency pizza lurking. Those who follow me on Instagram know I had one of *those*days on Tuesday, and my meal-planning went to pot. I purchased a couple of pizzas, but only 1 was used. I did think about freezing it but the Kids’ have friends on a last-day-of-the-school-year-sleep-over tonight, and I’m pretty sure Kids eat pizza 😉
It looks as though I have no waste. Yay.
Actually nothing could be further from the truth. My waste is pretty bad this week. So bad I decided to hang my head in shame in front of the camera. There’s a YouTube clip should you wish to watch. It’s true the moving camera really does add 10lbs. Either that or the traditional mirrors in my home need patenting and putting out to market – I’d make a fortune.
How’s your Fridge looking this Friday? Do you have food waste or food save stories to share?

Sorry you had a bad food waste week, lovely to put a face to a voice, however! The tinned tomatoes, open green pepper and cherry tomatoes could have topped the emergency pizza or become part of a sauce over pasta, in ratatouille, fzn for a future soup? We all move forward, hoping that next week is better.
Thanks Carol – the veggies were beyond redemption unfortunately! Lesson learned !! 🙂

You look lovely, no worries about the camera adding poundage. That carrot-lentil soup is extremely tasty, I’ve made it a few times. I’ve gotten slack on both food waste and home cooking this summer after having surgery in early May, but really, how long can I use that excuse? We are having a high school graduation party for our twins this weekend so currently have tons of food in the house. I’ll be sending leftovers home with everyone I can so none of it goes to waste!
Sounds like a plan Susan – hope you are feeling better post-surgery? Happy Graduation Guys!

I love the idea of having an emergency pizza in the fridge! Looks like you are doing great. Enjoy the party!
Thanks Hannah!

I know it’s not your ideal food waste week, but it’s not too bad! Summer holidays and barbecues always create a little more food waste! And I loved the video! In my humble opinion, you need to get in front of the camera more often! It’s great to have a face to go with the voice (and you’re gorgeous love, try to enjoy it!)
Over here, there has been minimal food waste this week (yay!). One kiwifruit that went too mushy. It’s winter, so things are keeping pretty well 🙂
It may as well be winter here! hah!

Good job on the video! I had to laugh about the lights on. We are already noticeably losing light in the mornings here – just a month after the start of summer.
Where has the light gone? It’s not just us then!
