In this throwback episode of the Pioneering Today Podcast, I'm sitting down with my dear friend Mary Shrader from Mary's Nest to talk about how we can all build a kitchen where nothing goes to waste. Mary has such a gift for making traditional cooking approachable and fun, and in this episode she shares how her parents inspired her to live a homemade lifestyle long before it was popular.

Together we walk through practical ways to make the most of every ingredient, from turning veggie scraps into flavorful broth to keeping a "scrap bag" in your freezer. We also talk about the mindset behind a no waste kitchen. It's not about perfection, it's about taking small, simple steps that fit into your real life.

You'll learn how to use what's in your fridge before it spoils, how to build a well stocked pantry that saves time and money, and how to create meals that make the most of what you already have on hand.

If you've ever felt frustrated by throwing out food or wondered how to stretch your groceries a little further, this episode will give you the encouragement and know how to make your kitchen a place of abundance and creativity.
