Transform Waste into Flavor

Embrace creativity in the kitchen by repurposing food items that appear to be past their prime. Consider transforming wilted greens into flavorful dishes by sautéing them with aromatics like onion and garlic, incorporating them into soups, sauces, taco fillings, or fried rice. Recognize that even slightly wilted greens can be rejuvenated with ice water. Remember that cooking is flexible; recipes are merely guidelines, encouraging experimentation and adjustment to taste. This proactive approach not only reduces food waste but also enhances culinary enjoyment.
