Food Waste Friday--March 16, 2012

It's time for Food Waste Friday, when the Frugalgirl encourages us to post pictures from the previous week of wasted food from our household. This accountability hopefully will help us to be more careful with our food and maybe save some money. 




Here it goes for this week.


Apple salad


I made apple (Waldorf) salad which I don't do very often because I'm the only one in the family that likes it. I found what I thought was a very straightforward recipe, but I didn't like the results so well. I think I should have gone with my instinct and left the salt out. I ate the salad for a few days, but decided I had had enough. So this perfectly good (but not-so-good tasting) salad was thrown away. What a disappointment.

  1. I am the only one who likes Waldorf salad in my family too. That's too bad that extra salt destroyed otherwise perfect salad.

  2. Hate when you try a new recipe and it just doesn't work out.

  3. A disappointment, but you can only eat so much salad, especially one you didn't care for. We can only go so far with the no waste.

  4. That looks like it was a pretty big salad to begin with! I'm not sure if I could get the rest of my brood to eat Waldorf salad either, so I feel ya there.

    1. My husband told me that he has had it with whipped topping and liked it. It's the mayo that he doesn't like. Maybe I'll try that next time and I definitely will make a smaller amount.
