50+ Ideas to not waste food!

I found this website, thought I'd link it and post it here:
http://www.thriftymommy.com/50-ideas-to-keep-us-from-wasting-food/

Here's the first 10 of the list:
At one time or another, we’re all going to have excess food, whether it be leftovers or fruits and veggies that are about to go bad. Sometimes it’s hard to think of what we’ll do with them so that we don’t waste food. To help us all out, I’ve compiled a list of ideas. Enjoy!
1. Use over ripe bananas to make banana bread.
2. Use apples, peaches, etc to make a pie or cobbler. Umhmmm!
3. Leftover grilled chicken tastes great on top of a salad!
4. Have excess bread? Make stuffing or croutons.
5. Use your excess hamburger to make a sloppy joe sandwich.
6. Save your beef or chicken broth and freeze it. Use it later for soups.
7. Save those last few pieces of bacon from breakfast and add them on a baked potato tonight.
8. Have left over rotisserie chicken? Use it to make Rachael Ray’s chicken taco soup.

9. If you boiled too much chicken, use it to make chicken salad.
10. Use leftover sausage in a breakfast casserole.

See site for more ideas!!!

Don't waste what you got. It takes just a bit of planning. If you must waste the food, compost it. Don't blame your living situation on not being able to compost. Anyone can compost. I compost in my tiny place. Need ideas? I can help.
