Waste less, cook faster! I’m sharing a simple kitchen habit that cuts down on food waste while making prep and cleanup a bit quicker too.

In this solo episode, I talk about a small shift in the way you handle ingredients that can save time and keep good food from ending up in the trash. It’s an easy change, but once you start doing it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t always cook this way.

No guest this week. Just me in my kitchen.
