Happy Friday!! Another week done and another weekend to embrace:) If your fridge looks anything like mine after the weeks end…food is scarce! I whipped up this delicious lunch wrap the other day using what ever I could find in my fridge and it turned out amazing!! With food waste at $27 billion dollar a year for Canadians (1), in my house hold I try to avoid waste as much as possible!! Before heading out for a big shop I scavenge through my fridge and get creative..coming up with unique meal ideas and avoiding waste all at the same time!!

Hi, Both articles are a valuable reminder of how much food we waste. The recipe is a perfect example of how we can work with the food we have around the house before we head out to buy more.
You will need to write a cookbook with all your delicious and imaginative recipes soon.
Love
