Each Friday I participate in Food Waste Friday (hosting on alternate weeks when Kristen isn't - she is today so head on over and link up!) What's worked for me is having a Friday routine which I do come rain or shine (okay so maybe not last week but I had my reasons). This routine hasn't fundamentally changed in over 4 years. I'm walking through it today. ...

Food Waste Friday / No Waste Tastes Great 2015
Every week, for over 4 years now, I have participated in Food Waste Friday. I was introduced to Food Waste Friday by Kristen over at The Frugal Girl, who is the original inspiration behind it.

Food Waste Friday / Elf On The Shelf

No Waste Tastes Great /I’m No Role Model
It's easy to mistake those who blog, as experts on a subject. I'm no expert, and I'm definitely no role model. When I was interviewed by The Guardian earlier this year, I hope I conveyed that. I'm a Mum, who is trying to improve her habits. particularly with regard reducing food waste by having a Friday routine. I'm also trying to reduce plastic waste ...
