In my house, vegetables are the food item most likely to get tossed out. That’s because most veggies have a short life and they tend not to be something (like fruit) you can just grab and eat as is. In other words, they take preparation time.

This is great, Maryann! I have the same vegetable ‘guilt’. I take the heartier vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers and add them to pasta and chicken sausage, or make mini frittatas. This is so helpful. Now I have a few more ideas to use up veggies!
