TGoG 104 – Budget Cooking without Waste

March 12, 2015 @ 23:46 By Gavin Webber 3 Comments

[spp-player optin=”off”]

Budget cooking without waste is our theme this week.  We talk about all the ways we save money in the kitchen feeding our family.  Includes 101 things to do with Zucchini (just joking)!

Also during the show we talked about using quality ingredients, growing and using herbs, growing your own veg, how to get your kids to eat veggies, how to use leftovers effectively, how to get 3 meals out of a single roast chicken, and how you can save up to $75 a week by taking your own lunch to work.  We also drooled over Kim’s freshly baked Cranberry & Macadamia cookies and Chocolate Muffins.

    Mmm yummy! It is great to see people do their best to use their leftovers and reduce the waste in their homes! I do the same and the thing that is my fave is the home made pizza (with leftovers and everything else from the kitchen, xixi). Greetings!
