Reduce, reuse, recycle. This exemplifies that! Many don’t know this but you can take bones from poultry, fish, lamb or beef and shells from shrimp and all bits and pieces leftover from veggies and create a wonderful stock.

Typically when I cook, I bag the veggies and any of the bones or shells separately and then make stocks for use in soups, stews and gravies. Use that goodness to the last drop. In these COVID times, it’s become increasing important to reduce, reuse and recycle and this will help you get tasty and nutritious dishes on your table. Stay safe – stay home.
