Going well...cooking a lot and trying new recipes. Lots of 'refuse' with artichokes my favorite spring vegetable

Bought prepared salad greens to eliminate waste. 

Made soup today using up some older veggies, so more peelings and bad spots.

Just some salad peelings today...been ordering out and taking home a lot of leftovers that I actually eat.

Out with the grapefruit that wasn't ripe...even though I let it sit for a month.

Eating a lot more vegetables / fruits has created more waste but I am also learning that some peels are very edible. Unfortunately I picked a grapefruit that had dropped off my tree and it was not ripe/sweet at all so I had to toss.

I had both lunch and dinner out this day and cleaned my plate both times with the exception of some bread which I brought with me for lunch today. My only waste at breakfast was 1 egg - shells...out it went to my potted plant.

Today I made vegetable soup and a big salad. I did not to peel several items, put some just needed to to composted. I also cleaned out and couple of items that had 'gone bad'.

Small mount to start but went out to a dinner seminar and the food was terrible so I only ate 1/2 of it with no desire to take it home even if I could have...

This included an avocado pit which is 2 ounces alone. I am eating more vegetables to I envision more waste ahead for me, but I am going to do less peeling to add fiber and reduce 'waste'.
