Last month we partnered with the James Beard Foundation and Henrietta Red's chef Julia Sullivan to show you how your food scraps can be used to make delicious and beautiful meals. With the holidays upon us, we're cooking more now than any other time of year. In fact, waste increases by 25% between Thanksgiving and New Years Day. This year, try saving your scraps and repurposing your leftovers into one of these great dishes.
Give the recipes from our "Waste-Not" Cooking Demo a try, starting with this beautiful Butternut Squash Salad.
Don't throw your over-ripe bananas away! Take this banana bread to your next holiday gathering instead.
Similarly, turn your extra apples into this applesauce for the whole family.
Here's a great way to use any extra chopped vegetables that didn't fit into another dish.
When you've used all your holiday spirit, but you still have holiday leftovers, change the mood and eat the food as these stuffed peppers.
