Peel

People underestimate how much the peel matters in all forms of cooking. If you’re making a vinaigrette, you can use a microplane to zest in a little bit to add that extra bright flavor. Or, you can zest it into your favorite cakes and icings. You can also use a vegetable peeler to make bigger slices and use that as the garnish to a cocktail.

Juice

Grapefruit juice on its own is so delicious and tart, the perfect afternoon pick me up or morning treat, You can also use the juice to make salad dressings for savory salads or even fruit salads. Combine the juice with icing sugar and you have a simple fruity glaze to cakes, muffins and other baked goods, and mix some juice with tequila and you have a gorgeous cocktail.

Meat

The meat of the grapefruit is so juicy and perfect, which is why it’s such a favorite for breakfast. But, to spice it up, throw it into a salad with arugula and goat cheese and watch it sing. Or, use it as the star of a citrus and fennel salad!

Mac and Cheese

There’s nothing like the feeling of digging into a big dish of baked macaroni and cheese after a long day at work. If you’re a fan of baked mac, you know it’s totally necessary to have a great topping to give you that signature crunch. While a lot of people use bread crumbs, why not switch it up and use the last of the potato chip bag? Not only will you get a crunch, but it’ll be nice and salty as well.

Fried Chicken

Crunchy fried chicken is a southern delicacy that is loved all over the world. Making your own at home is easy as long as you have a great coating on the outside to really bring home that crunch. While some people just use flour and some people use cornflakes, why not try out potato chips? They give you exactly the texture the chicken needs and the flavors match up super well every time!

Building up an arsenal of pantry staples is useless unless you’re actually going to use them, and every day your veggies sit in your fridge they run the risk of going to go bad.

For some people, it can be really difficult to look at what you have on hand and make a meal out of it. We find ourselves looking at recipes that require so much of what we don’t have but going for them anyway.

While this is good for special occasions, getting into the habit of making meals out of what you have is better for your wallet and the planet.

There’s no reason to waste more money on fruits and vegetables if you already have them in the house.

Also, food waste accounts for a large percentage of what gets sent to the landfill, so by making meals that utilize the foods you already have, you’re saving the planet and your wallet a lot of pain.
