Put all your veggie scraps in a large zip lock freezer baggie and when your bag is full, you've got the makings for some wonderful veggie broth...put your scraps in a pot of water with salt and pepper and any other seasonings you may desire, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for a couple of hours, drain and voila! Use this base for any soups you might be making. The veggies that are in the sieve after draining...these can now go into compost!

This is a refreshing video you just focused on the food. You posted the amounts to use of each ingredient and the nutritional value of the dish. The music was a nice touch. Well done!

I tried the first four recipes in this video. Couldn't try the last one as strawberries are not yet in season where I live. But I'm waiting to try it coz it sounds exciting! Amongst the ones I tried, I liked all except for the wrap (I still have come to like mustard). I loved the chili coz it was light and extremely flavorful. The brocolli pesto pasta recipe here is my favorite version of the dish. Definitely going to try it again! And the chickpea salad was light and refreshing as well 😍
