Getting Creative with leftovers – Potato Croquette’s

I have a confession to make.

I waste a lot of food. No wait, we buy a lot more than we eat, then the worms in our worm farm eat what is past its prime, or veggies that have gone ‘floppy’. The worms turn the food into waste – worm wee and we use that as fertilizer for the garden. So we don’t throw a lot out, but we certainly eat less than we buy.

That is … we used to. I have been feeling pretty guilty about it and come to the following conclusion – our fridge and pantry is usually so cluttered with things that are going off that I can’t actually see what is still fresh.

Enter – fridge and pantry clean out. Yep, I spent a Friday night at home recently cleaning out my pantry. I tell you there is no better feeling. There’s room, extra containers that were previously filled with now off junk, you can see things better and the shelves are no longer sticky. It’s a beautiful thing.
