 Colorful Celery You may think of celery as something to eat raw - breaking off a stalk and munching it, or as an ingredient in tuna or Waldorf salad. But it's more versatile than that. It's flavor holds up well to braising or gently heating and it maintains a lovely pale green color. So we featured it in our recipe this week.

SUSTAINABLE TIP OF THE WEEK Food waste is a significant problem in the U.S., with nearly one-third of all food grown for human consumption winding up in the bin. instead of taking food for granted, it is best to organize your kitchen and reduce waste by maximizing use. Here are 6 tips for doing so. 1. Create a Menu The most effective way to save food and money is to create a menu for the week's meals. 2. Date Your Food Dating every item ensures you use things before they go to waste. 3. Organize Your Food The oldest foods should be at the front of cupboards and shelves, ensuring they are used before anything else. 4. Re-Purpose Leftovers Too often leftovers get tossed at the end of the week. Develop a system to intentionally re-purpose them. 5. Keep Fruit Out Fruit tucked into a refrigerator is less likely to be eaten. Fruit on a counter is visible and more likely to draw someone's attention, encouraging snacking. 6. Store Perishables Correctly If you want to prevent rapid ripening or spoiling, consider storing your produce in separate locations or containers. |
