Now That I Am Harvesting So Much From The Garden…

It does not even occur to me to look in the veggie bin anymore, I just go straight to the garden with a colander to pick what I want for dinner. If only I had looked I could have chopped the onion and broccoli up and put them in the freezer for future use.

The only store bought vegetables I have left are carrots, potatoes, and celery. I am not growing any of those, so hopefully I will remember to use them up.

    Thanks for your encouragement! And it did go into the compost pile, so it will add to the next year's garden:)

    I agree everything tastes fantastic from the garden, even things you don't normally spend a lot of time thinking about like onions and radishes.

    Isn't it fab when we can get most of our food from the garden – it's so inspiring and tastes out of this world.

    Well done on your food waste; it's minimal in the grand scheme of things 🙂

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
