The Benefits:
- Delicious dinners. Admit it: You've come this close to throwing away turkey because you couldn't bear to eat another bite, with or without cranberry sauce.
- Less waste. We Americans already throw away an average of 163 lb of edible food per person per year (dollarwise, the average family of four throws out $600 in unspoiled food per year).
- Cheap eats. The fact that you can whip up new meals without many additional ingredients should get your tail wagging.
Personally Speaking:
After an unsuccessful attempt at making a tofurkey last year, Jen is going the nontraditional route and preparing a wild-caught salmon for her feast.
Wanna Try:
- Cranberry Orange Bread Pudding - use uneaten rolls and cranberries to make a fab post-Thanksgiving dessert.
- Stuffing Stuffed Mushrooms - combine stuffing and a few simple ingredients for a totally delish new side dish.
- Turkey Potpie with Biscuit Crust - mix leftover sweet potatoes, carrots, and gravy into a great potpie.
- Go to the blog to see our fave recipes and add your own.
Cocktail Fact
The average Thanksgiving meal contains 3,000 calories. (You'll have to walk about 30 mi to burn that off.)
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Biters don't waste any food just one day a year, we'll save enough food to provide meals for 3,435 people.
