Your Questions About Cooking with Leftovers
Absolutely! As long as your vegetable scraps (like carrot peels, onion ends, and celery bottoms) are washed thoroughly, they are perfectly safe and incredibly flavorful. They are ideal for making homemade vegetable broth, which is a fantastic base for soups and stews. Avoid using any scraps that are moldy or spoiled.
Some of the most versatile leftovers include roasted chicken (for soups, salads, and sandwiches), stale bread (for croutons, bread pudding, or breadcrumbs), and cooked rice (for fried rice or rice cakes). Our recipe database is designed to give you creative ideas for common leftovers.
When food ends up in landfills, it produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By reducing food waste, you conserve the energy and water used to produce that food and lower your carbon footprint. It’s one of the most effective ways an individual can contribute to fighting climate change.
