You spoke about how you have been less "strict" lately when it comes to zero waste living and although it might be scary to show online I appreciate that you still share your meals with us. It reminds me that nobody is perfect and that you should not give up on sustainability even when things get difficult. Thank you for such great content, you are such an inspiration to me :) Hugs from Aarhus

@Gittemary Год назад

I really appreciate the support, I think it’s important to show the different levels of zero waste, even on days where I am not doing the best job 😂💪

@stacihoover6751 Год назад

This is one of my favorite aspects of zero waste living. There is no better feeling than using the food I already have in my home and saving some money in the process. I loved the totally relatable moment of you wanting take away, but sticking to your commitment. That spinach pasta dish looked delicious!

@ZoeMikelStites Год назад

"This is a dish, I don't care" ~me, throwing things in a pot while exhausted and my partner peeking into the kitchen from around the corner, concerned about what concoction I'm going to be handing him for dinner.

@marylenegauthier3673 Год назад

I keep a Sharpie pen in my kitchen drawer and I write on bulk jar :) No labels required and I can wash it off and repurposed the jar.

@carlyann7518 Год назад

I do a similar thing and use a chalk pencil. it smears sometimes though

@coralovesnature Год назад

I’ll just reuse the already labeled spice jar from the store, although admittedly I don’t always put what it says in there. Currently my salt is labeled “coriander”, but I think it’s pretty obvious it’s not by the color 😅

@aliciaspears7847 Год назад

What a fantastic idea ! Thanks for sharing with us !

@VeganMangoQueen Год назад

So far I made a potato and leek soup. Then used half a block of tofu with half jar of marinara to make a creamy pasta sauce. Then a soup with chick peas, yukon gold potato, spinach, carrot and peas and added potato starch to thicken. And now I have soups in the freezer for later. Oh and I’ve been mixing 1 part water with 1 part flour and a little salt to make a chapati flatbread in the skillet. Yay to no food waste 🌱💚✌🏼😎

@Gittemary Год назад

Woooow your an anti-food waste hero 💪💪

@coralovesnature Год назад

Thank you for reminding me about silken tofu! I once made a spinach artichoke dip using silken tofu as the cream base b/c our small town grocery store didn’t have any vegan cream cheese, and it turned out so good! Got lots of compliments on it from people who aren’t even vegan. I was trying to remember earlier what I had used for the substitute, so thanks for sparking my memory. 😊

@hebebebe139 Год назад

I did the same early December and it was tough with a family with multiple allergies and different diets BUT i made some of the best meals I've ever created before, even better than dishes I created while working as a professional chef. I think I'm going to do it every 5/6 weeks to really clear out my freezer and cupboards

@Gittemary Год назад

Wow that’s so cool! And I can definitely relate, the spinach pasta with hazelnuts could easily become a stable in my kitchen 😍

@rachelbarker5410 Год назад

Woop! Shelf cooking - not only a great way to cut down on waste but also saves you a lot of money in the long run!!!

I'm doing the same thing for all of January. My freezer is STUFFED with fruit and veg, so I'll hopefully avoid too much vitamine deficiency.

@Gittemary Год назад

I am absolutely also continuing, it is such a neat idea 💪🌿

Год назад

I do that every time before I leave for more than a week to be able to stop freezer and fridge while I'm gone. Best feeling to see the empty space and when I come back I have all the room to buy my fav' food 😋

@MaokiDLuffy Год назад

It's the first video I watch on this channel, and you are so authentic! Kudos for not editing cringe moments, we all have them 💚

@etheplant Год назад

I love doing this!! Whenever I go back to my parents for a while longer (I'm studying in another city) I always try and use up as many fresh ingredients as I can. When I went back for summer break last year I managed to eat everything in my freezer and fridge (they're both small but still) as well as a good chunk of my pantry. Still (obviously lol) very proud of that achievement 😌😁

@Gittemary Год назад

That is hella impressive tbh 👌

@LittleRedTeaCake Год назад

What a fun, helpful video. One of my resolutions this year is to focus on being wasteful, food, energy, time, you get the gist. One thing that makes the food waste aspect difficult is that I have picky children (we are really working on making them more adventurous eaters) as well as I have different dietary restrictions than my husband, which sadly means when either of us is cooking, there are a lot of things that he or the kiddos can eat, but I cannot and it just makes it all around difficult. And finding recipes that we all like is even harder. But hey, this is why it's a resolution to try and make better habits!

@Gittemary Год назад

I recommend hiding spinach in a creamy pasta sauce 😏🌿✨

@LittleRedTeaCake Год назад

@@Gittemary I sadly have to limit most green veggies or the frequency (I had green beans two days in a row and that was the wrong decision to make) because most of them trigger tummy issues. It's been about 20 years since I could eat zucchini and I miss it every day.

@PC-wh8nu Год назад

I like that you're feeling ashamed to say your little luxury problem, but you don't have to be. You're already doing a lot for planet, for human, for education... Keep going, making mistakes and correcting it! Wish you a fulfilled 2023 year :)

@theresalwayssomethingtobui944 Год назад

Haha in your last vid you mentioned this and now I started a challenge for Jannuary to use as many pulses, rice and self canned food etc from my cupboard I can use up!

A excellent video with a challenge of cooking without shopping Gittemary. Sorry that you are not feeling well ( joined the unwell club because I have been sick for 2 weeks). Get well soon. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Gittemary.

@360shadowmoon Год назад

I challenged myself to do this before going on vacation. I was surprised by how much progress I made! But I still ended up giving away my remaining groceries to my neighbor. Btw I have a knack for craving takeout the minute I cook a bunch of food, so you're not alone! It's always when I have a ton of food, too, and I can't justify eating out.

@velvethunder Год назад

Love this challenge!! I usually do that during early spring , because it's the season when I like to experiment. Have a great new year! 💚🧡😊💛💜

@Gittemary Год назад

I’ll definitely be doing it again as well 😍🌿

@Tres.Alexandra Год назад

One of my favorites! Please do more “use or eat what you have” videos! ❤

@juchidaf Год назад

04:41 Been there too, agree, such a luxury problem but not to waste is the goal, so if one day I really fancy take out, either I freeze the food thats already on my fridge or eat them for the next meal :)

@meadowlane637 Год назад

I love this video. I do the same thing every month. My kids panic and think I don't have money for food lol. I have to tell them every time I do this that I have plenty of money but my cupboards, fridge and freezer are too full. I'll be making a vegetable soup with lentils seasoned with garam masala (hope i spelled that correctly) and a kale, cabbage and brussels sprout salad for supper tonight. Salad is bagged salad that includes dressing. Way too much plastic but I was making things easier for myself🥴 Love your channel.

@Kx____ Год назад

Loving this week's content. Really encourages me to use up all my food this time of year. I always do but I want next level. Tha ks for the ideas

Me and my young son are doing this for Jan! With work being slower and heat bill higher. It definitely helps save money!

@AnnikaWithAk Год назад

I love how you don't seem to care what you wear when cooking, lol. Like most people would probably not wear a white blouse (still perfectly clean) when dealing with food that leaves stains sooo well, like red cabbage, brown gravy or greasy spots from frying mock meat in a pan. But then .... Gittemary is not "most people" and I love you for that :)))))

I just use a black marker to write on the spice jars what is what. It can be washed off and rewritten when the spice inside changes ... or not. And i use the same marker for the past... 10 years or so?

I would love to know your thoughts on the collapse of the Australian soft plastic recycling scheme. They’ve recently gotten themselves into a bit of trouble and it’s been in the media lately. I thought I was doing the right thing is reducing what I could, recycling all soft plastics that I had to use but now I’m so lost and have no idea what to do next and what other options I have

@johan4413 Год назад

Hi Gittemary, i was wondering what was your take on a zero-waste way to light a candle? I've been using a lighter lately to light my candles, and I read that they were not recyclable and that they're actually terribly pollutant. I then read a comparison with matches and read that matches are less polluting, but still quite, and there are numerous toxic materials on the matches and matchboxes. I saw that some companies started producing electric lighters, but I don't know if it's any good. Do you have an opinion on this matter? Could you make a video about that, or maybe you already have? Thank you for all your work, it has helped me in my desire to be more eco-friendly and reduce my waste :).

@Thrivinginthespotlight Год назад

I like a stick of incense on my gas stove and then use that to light candles the little stick that's leftover I put into a box place in the bathroom because there's usually incense leftover on those and they smell good when combined together

@johan4413 Год назад

@@Thrivinginthespotlight Thank you for your response :). I do have incense sticks, but I don't have a gas stove so I unfortunately can't light them this way. But I'll rememeber the tip.

@Gittemary Johansen I have a rather personal question. I have been with my husband for over 12 years and it just isn't working out anymore. I am so scared of ending up alone and how I should live with him for 3 months (in contract) till he finds a flat. How did you manage the time when you both still lived together? Pls help me out. Lots of love from Switzerland
