Wait… don’t throw it away yet

Since i became a mom – I am more careful about “food safety.”    When I was single and didn’t have to worry about someone else’s health, I just cooked a piece of meat saying “Well, Just to make sure to over cook it – bacteria won’t survive the heat!”

Now, I have to take care of the family, plus some actors, I am overly careful.

Fortunately, we have a back yard with wild animals (bunnies, raccoon, possums, not to mention mice…).  If any food starts to smell “sour” –  I just toss them in the backyard.

So, I am keeping “less garbage” motto – but I would love to be more conscious about saving on foods.

This App is helping me this holiday season to reduce “throw away food”.   http://www.foodsafety.gov/blog/2015/04/foodkeeper-application.html
