We don’t like to clean out the fridge because sometimes we find things that have been forgotten about. I’ve tried to leave a few ‘FREE CHOICE’ and ‘PANTRY CHALLENGE‘ days on our Menu so that we waste less… actually nothing truly gets wasted as any old food will go ot the chickens or the compost pile.
Most of the time, our ‘leftovers’ become lunch for the next day. We will often portion them out in individual containers so people can choose their meal.
If we have some veggies that look a little sad, I will often chop them and put them in the freezer. We will freeze extra meats as well, for later use.

Here are some of the ways that we like to use up some of those leftovers:
