![]() ![]() I love the look of their eight winter salads, especially the beetroot one. The website is definitely worth a look as it has some great recipes for using up leftovers, tips on freezing food properly – loads of useful stuff. A big part of that is helping families make better use of their leftovers – which is where you come in! Sainsbury’s is passionate about helping families waste less, and save more, which is why they’ve invested £10 million in helping shoppers reduce food waste at home. In fact, the average British family wastes £700 per year on food that could have been eaten, but is thrown away instead, that’s around £60 a month. Not only is this a huge problem for our environment, but families are throwing away money along with food. To bring this to life, that includes 5.8 million potatoes, almost 6 million glasses of milk and an astonishing 24 million slices of bread everyday! Households in the UK waste a mind blowing 15 million tonnes of food and drink every year. Sainsbury’s is on a bit of a mission to reduce food waste too, with their #WasteLessSaveMore initiative. This afternoon for example I’m leaving work early to make four steak and ale pies for the freezer (never done that before) because I have all the ingredients but we are going to my mum’s for tea. Then I remember that I’m only home one night in the next four, and wonder what I’m going to do with it all. ![]() I’ve rediscovered the joy on online food shopping you see, which means I get all over excited and order loads of things for actual recipes. Since I upgraded my phone though, and no longer have to delete Twitter just to take a photo, food waste has become a bit more of an issue. ![]() I’m actually pretty good at this, mainly because I’m so slack at doing the shopping in the first place that I never have enough in the fridge for dinner, let alone for leftovers. I’ll just tell you what I did, and then you can copy it, or have a look in the fridge and switch in other ingredients. I don’t want you to look in the fridge and think ‘Oh, I’ve only got two leftover sweet potatoes, so I definitely can’t make this…’ I’m a bit loathe to call this a recipe, as the whole point of bubble and squeak is to use up leftovers. ![]()
