Top tips!

1. Avoid waste and scraps by staying organized and shopping your pantry first. 
2. Homemade broth is the easiest place for using up veggie scraps and meat bones. 
3. Don't forget about condiments! Make dressings and sauces directly in the bottle from the last bits of mayo/mustard/ketchup.
