How To Reduce Christmas Food Waste

December 11, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

Hi Guys it's Friday - Food Waste Friday. I'm still not back to my usual routine so have popped in a post I wrote 2 years ago but it was never published. While going through some documents I found it and thought it was quite a useful guide to reducing waste as we hit the main grocery shopping weeks before Christmas. Santa’s making a list and he’s checking ...

Food Waste Friday | The Movie

October 16, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

It's Friday Guys. Food Waste Friday. And I thought I'd do something a little bit different this week. I've produced a Food Waste Friday movie. Well kind of. If you can call it that :) For those who aren't going to watch it (and sincerely who could blame you choosing to skip it?!?!?) here are the key points: I followed my No Waste ...

Working Together To Reduce Waste

August 21, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

It's Friday Guys. #FoodWasteFriday And it's my week to host. I've decided this week to do Food Waste Friday a little differently. This is for 3 reasons: Reason 1: I am not supposed to be posting on this blog as it is being moved. Whatever I post may be lost and not make it across. There's no need to go into the technicalities of the move. But it's ...

No Waste Tastes Great / What A Waste!

June 5, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

Hey Guys it's Friday. It's #FoodWasteFriday. As always on a Friday I follow my No Waste Tastes Great routine. Now this used to involve photographing my fridge, but the strange lady (yes that's me) is now videoing her fridge and uploading to YouTube. After all how many funny videos of cats doing cute stuff can you watch? Fridge is the new cat. ...

Is Your Food Waste Reducing?

May 1, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

A slightly different angle this Friday. Rather than confessing my food waste as I do usually I'm opening up the blog for you to talk about whether you feel #FoodWasteFriday is helping you to make progress and reduce your food waste. It's all about progression and not perfection for me at the moment. I did lose 2 satsumas this week and a lemon, they ...

Food Waste Friday / I Say Fridge – What Do You Say?

March 6, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

Every alternate Friday I have the honour of hosting Food Waste Friday. Food Waste Friday was the brain child of Kristen aka The Frugal Girl. Kristen, embarrassed by the amount of food she wasting started Food Waste Friday in 2008. Seeing what an amazing way Food Waste Friday was in keeping a person accountable for the food they waste, and ultimately ...

Food Waste Friday / March’s Menu Plan

February 27, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

Looking out of the window this morning, I can see that March is well and truly on it's way, as is Spring. Spring is my favourite time of year, and Easter my favourite holiday. It fills me with optimism. The world is waking up. It's a fresh start. We're coming out of hibernation, out of our caves, and there is an abundance of energy. This year, personally ...

No Waste Tastes Great / Out Of Routine

January 30, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

I'm struggling to get into any kind of routine this year. Never mind a No Waste Tastes Great routine. Last Friday I was being discharged from hospital following surgery, my Friday fridge the week before that was utter chaos, and going back to 9 January I was at my father's funeral. ...

No Waste Tastes Great 2015 Uncensored

January 16, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

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 / Using Up Bread

December 5, 2014 by SimplyBeingMum

Each week since March 2008, in order to motivate her to waste less food, Kristen The Frugal Girl, has posted a picture of any food that has gone bad over the last seven days. She found this embarrassing practice so helpful, to her, that she invited other bloggers to post their own photos, and Food Waste Friday was born. I started participating in October ...
