I freeze leftover coffee in an ice cube tray and then blend the cubes with plant milk, sweetener and cocoa powder to make ice lattes :)

@Wasabisaurus08 5 лет назад

Thats an awesome idea!!! I will try that and maybe make some blended coffee as well when the weather gets warmer.

@tildaj.4033 5 лет назад

i have 2 tips for heating up leftovers, maybe people already know them but anyways if you want to heat up leftover pasta, boil some water and throw the pasta in for just a few seconds before taking it out again. the pasta will be as if it were just cooked if you want to heat up rice, put a little bit of water on it before placing it in the microwave and it won't turn out dry

@VanitysGunn 5 лет назад

Tilda J. Even rice that has dried out can be brought back to life! I love my instant pot but it tends to dry out my rice if left inside. Put a few table spoons in the bottom of your bowl & stir your rice in so it's all wet. Cover loosely & microwave for about 2 minutes. If it's still a bit dry repeat. Works every time!

@rosalievano7094 5 лет назад

Leftover rice with a little bit of butter or Olive oil is really tasty too!!

@allyhvis6046 4 года назад

Thanks :) I'm going off to college so I'll definitely use these tips :)

@KMWeir 4 года назад

@michelleclara513 5 лет назад

another way to use for example a squeezed lemon before throwing it away is to put it in the dishwasher :) it smells amazing and no need of any artificial scents :)

@staceyme1480 5 лет назад

Ignore "sell by" and "best before" dates. "Use by" are a bit more important but still, foods don't carry a personal agenda with it and at the strike of midnight turn bad. Use common sense, if it looks or smells iffy dont use it, if it looks and smells fine prepare it properly and enjoy.

@shadows4419 4 года назад

Very sensible advice

@Alina_Schmidt 3 года назад

Most foods with „use by“ on them aren‘t vegan anyway.

@OkaayDanielle 5 лет назад

Just a tip: broth tastes even better if you let it cook for 12-24 hours in a slow cooker! I let it cook for about 2 hours on high and then reduce to low for the rest of the time!

@acmulhern 5 лет назад

If you want to go a step further with your lemon, you just throw an entire lemon into the blender, skin and all. Cut into manageable pieces for your blender and just blend it up (add a drop of water if needed). Then the same as you did in the video, freeze in an ice cube tray. You can also do this with kiwis (skin and all). It's great to flavour your water or smoothies. Also, for the stock scraps, you can include herb stalks, apple cores and skins, wilted salad leaves (the ones on the outside that always look unappetising), carrot tops, radish and beetroot leaves, garlic skins.

@GarmanyRachel 5 лет назад

That’s going to work better with certain varieties of lemon than others. Some have super bitter pith.

@ramzadiy5779 4 года назад

My mum put the whole lemons in the blender and then use that in cakes or cookies ,she also uses oranges.

@boegershausen2209 4 года назад

This is how we do it-especially with small, thin-skinned limes.

@JLvatron 4 года назад

Wait, kiwi? The whole thing, with the fur?

@ElisandeWalters 5 лет назад

food waste belongs into a compost pile or some of the other options rather than the trash where at all possible

@kristopotamus 5 лет назад

With dried out bread you can make croutons to top on salads and soups. Cut bread into cubes, fry with olive oil and spices (like whole cumin, rosemary) on low heat. Can also roast with seeds and nuts. Lately I have been using sunflower seeds with my homemade croutons- also good coupling with wilted salad to get crunch back!

@TheDevilDarling 5 лет назад

That's a great idea.

@salexator 4 года назад

Roasted sunflower seeds are also really good on pasta! My son loves it.

@edrinadiy 5 лет назад

That lemon hack was AMAZING!! Life changing. I’m going to be doing that from now on. Thanks for the video 😁

@Fablunch 5 лет назад

I know right! 😊 And you end up getting much more out of each lemon. I used to squeeze half a lemon into my water before and by using this method, I get about 6 lemon cubes per lemon = 6 lemon waters 👍🏻

@Fen Karma lol, one of my dogs politely declined blueberries and banana. He will keep his mouth shut and refuse to open it for blueberries. He will gently take the banana so it doesn't touch his mouth as much. Then turns the corner and sets it down and walks away.

Try blending the skins first. I put all my scraps in my blender then put it in a big black pot in my garden which is covered to compost. It all breaks down so much quicker.

@eileenlester3313 5 лет назад

I use lemon juice when making homemade strawberry jam. I cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the juice required for the recipe. When I'm done with the lemon I place it in a bowl with a small amount of water. I then place it in the microwave for 5 minutes on high. I take a damp cloth and wipe the microwave clean. Works like a charm. Then dump the lemon in liquid into the garbage disposal and grind it up to clean and deodorize.

@JonesLeFae 5 лет назад

Awesome! Such an important topic and great hacks. When I was a kid I actually didn't like the broccoli flowers and would only eat the stems. My brother was the opposite so it worked out well, but these days I love the whole thing! My favorite veggie!
