I did a good job of eating my fridge down Remember how I didn’t really go grocery shopping last week, and only spent $18 on food? A full fridge tends to encourage food waste because things get lost. Well, that’s because we were busy eating up everything we had. and hummus, and that was my dinner.

I’m incredibly passionate about food waste , and frittatas are one of my favorite ways to use up produce and leftovers! I recommend a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or oven-safe, non-stick skillet like this. My vegetable frittata can be made with any veggies you like, making it versatile, filling, and delicious!

Limiting waste is what really drives most of the habits I have that would qualify as “frugal” – reducing/eliminating food waste, returning unneeded items, pursuing refunds, checking on warranties, repairing things, etc. For me, being in the kitchen and making food for people is an act of love.
