There have been times I wondered if there was going to be food in the house at all,for me to throw out food is not something I do easly,What I did throw out were some things I knew I wasnt going to be able eat cause it was past time to pitch it in the trash.By the end of yeaterday my son had eaten all the coconut cream pie that was left but theire was a bag of homemade spicy party mix he took to work and shared with his coworkers,if I have any left overs I usealy can recycle into a soup or stew or if its chicken I can make chicken salad with I do that.The unused part of most veggies( not the peeling on taters) I put in a big covered bowl in the fridge and then make a stock with it then freeze it..my grannie gave me plenty of ideas how to reuse food that was still good...she gave me the "I servived the depressino years" speach many times and it stuck.I was watching the cooking show Miss Lucy one day she said her hubby was diabetic but loved rice so when cooks her white rice as she normaly dose but when its done she rinces it our with warm water to wash out the starch that clings to the rice so its less starchy.I love baked sweet taters as well as baked white pototatos but I use no salt or light salt and molly Mc butter on it and it dose taste really good.
