I think we can call this week a pretty big failure in terms of food waste. :(
So far I've found some yogurt that had a sell by date of January 31; I'm thinking that it's probably growing some interesting bacteria under the lid. No telling how I managed not to eat that. A few spoonfuls of hummus is all that is left in the container, but it's been in there several weeks and developed an interesting (read: gross) smell. The apples are very upsetting. I bought those two weeks ago and they're barely passed their date. I buy these a lot and I've never had them go bad this fast. Perhaps I got an older bag by mistake? I hate that I'm throwing out all of them. Such a waste!
What did you waste this week?

Don't remember where I saw this, but you can use fruit that's slightly past its date in pies and breads. That doesn't look like enough apples for a whole pie or tart, but they sell miniature pie tins in the baking section. A mini pie could be a fun treat, healthier than most sweets and a way to keep those apples from going to waste.
ReplyDeleteThey should also still be fine for muffins.
So frustrating! I might throw those apples in a pot for some apple sauce if they aren't too funky.
ReplyDeleteI had been planning to make applesauce until I took a closer look at the apples. They are super gross and way too mushy to be good for anything. :(
