One of the spookiest things about Halloween is how many pumpkins end up in landfills afterwards 😱!

Let's do something different this year and moving forward because pumpkins are delicious and packed with nutrition. Whether you puree, roast, pie, casserole, soup or (insert other pumpkin food item here) it, please just don't waste it!

Pumpkins are, first and foremost, a food. Right? Well, in the UK and the US, the vast majority of pumpkins actually end up in landfill - right after October 31.

A perfect day to toast 🍻 National Hot Mulled Cider Day 🍎 and use up those extra apples!

Don't forget to eat those apple peels--they hold a lot of nutritional value and are perfectly delicious as-is or baked in the oven for some extra crunch.

Remember to compost the cores and leftover spices too!

Did you know vitaminc and niacin are most concentrated in the 🥕 peel?

Which means we can all stop peeling our carrots (just give them a good wash!), and save time, effort and help prevent food "scraps" from going to waste!

If unpeeled carrots are just a no-go for you, save the peels to throw into a stock, stir-fry, or blend into a sauce or soup!

Today's 🔊 ASMR and food waste prevention tip brought to you by IG 🐶 -- lover of 🥕, hater of food waste.

Happy National Rice Pudding 🍚 Day!

Easy, delicious, and you can use leftover cooked rice (especially if you always get extra with takeout 😉) so it doesn't go to waste.


A few tips when using leftover cooked rice for rice pudding:
- use plain cooked rice of any variety
- use equal parts cooked rice and milk
- have fun with flavors (taste & sweeten as you go)

No leftover cooked rice? Check out this video from .recipe instagram 🤤! Full recipe in their feed.
