Americans waste hundreds of pounds of food per year. Don’t be one of them.

You pay a lot of money for that artisan loaf of bread, then don’t eat it all before it gets stale. You have a recipe that calls for egg whites (or yolks) but not the rest of the egg. The rotisserie chicken is pretty much stripped of the best meat. But don’t throw those foods away! Some estimates say that we waste as much as 40% of our groceries because we buy them but don’t eat them.
