The “after” Thanksgiving table is a wreck at our house. Any given year we have omnivores who must have turkey, people who love mushroom gravy and those who hate it, pescatarians, vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free and non-dairy. All that variety means it’s a real zero food waste challenge to manage all the leftovers.
Thanksgiving leftovers, Halloween pumpkins, root vegetable tops and peels, ugly produce from the garden; in this season all are at risk if there’s not a plan.
You know the overwhelm of the after-Thanksgiving table. Or, the slow vigil of watching your jack o’ lantern rot on the front porch. Or buying a nice bunch of carrots at the farmer’s market just to realize it’s mostly tops.
What if instead, you could level up with pantry cooking and zero food waste recipes for Fall?
