Just got my ticket! We Rescue is a fantastic event and an even better cause! See you Sept. 18!

New post up! Why do some bananas look gray? www.eatortoss.com/why-are-some...

I tried to improvise sopes with masa corn flour but, oops they turned out too tough. Luckily I was able to loosely follow Food Waste Feast’s scrappy bread pudding recipe and turn them into this 😋 casserole, which approximates a tamale pie. So happy with this upcycle!

TBT last week’s scrappy cooking demo with Climate Classes DC, DC Zero Waste, To Go Green and Chef Bertrand Brown-Orleans at Common Good City Farm. Kale stem pesto and banana peel cake were my faves 😋

Another cool contest where sharing food-waste-fighting tips could win you a cash prize!!! conservefood.org/collaborate-...

So delighted by this jewelry made from orange peels and mango seeds from leurohandmade.com 🤩

Volunteer day at @dcdpr.bsky.social Lederer Farm with Les Dames DC this week 😍🌱 Beautiful weather, lovely company, great cause! These communal gardens grow and donate thousands of pounds of produce a year. Learn more about them and volunteering: dpr.dc.gov/page/communa...

pH is such a force in the kitchen! www.seriouseats.com/exploration-...

What ingredients do you reach for to improve a meh dish? I’ll go first: Last night I needed to use up some tahini so I improvised a fish dish with a lemon tahini sauce. It was OK? But for lunch today, I added cumin, a handful of raisins & a sprinkle of kosher salt. There we go! Much better 😋

Speaking of precious, precious eggs, just a reminder that EatOrToss has a wacky egg library. From shells to yolks, If something doesn’t look right, or you’re just curious, check it out! www.eatortoss.com/foods/eggs

An $18M grant would have drastically reduced food waste. Then the EPA cut it. The Rhode Island project to create local jobs, launch compost hubs, and reduce emissions was years in the making. grist.org/food-and-agr... #Waste #Climate #Food #Agriculture #EPA #Environment

I’d love to hear from people in event catering. What do you do with leftover food that’s already been set out on a buffet and therefore cannot be donated?

Funny and troubling 😵‍💫. I’ve definitely seen some iffy info come back on “eat or toss” questions www.wired.com/story/google...

We try to avoid single-use cutlery, but somehow it still finds its way into our house. I love these ideas from @washingtonpost.com for putting disposable chopsticks to work! www.washingtonpost.com/food/2025/02... #sustainability #nowaste #lowwaste

Looooove letting my 4 yo play chef. Presenting his latest innovation: A butter and mandarin sandwich!

Another reason not to overstock your kitchen is that if the fridge goes all rogue and freezy and a can of seltzer explodes, then you will have fewer items to rescue from a black cherry-scented iceberg. 🫠 Just a random example. #food #foodwaste #sustainability
