2. Don't toss those trimmed ends from onions, carrots, celery, or peppers. Store them in your freezer, and once you have a good amount saved up, add them to a large pot with a few cups of water and make homemade vegetable broth. This is also a great use for cabbage cores and corn cobs.
10. Before it goes bad, blanch it and toss it in the freezer. This works for peas, beans, corn, carrots, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and leafy greens like spinach and kale.
20. Make a fruit crumble out of almost any fruit you have on hand. Assemble and bake it now, or leave it unbaked and store it in the freezer for a quick dessert.
22. Turn day-old bread into homemade bread crumbs.
34. Turn leftover bits of cooked chicken into chicken salad for sandwiches the next day.
41. Chop herbs and add them to ice cube trays with just a little water. Drop whole cubes into the pan when a recipe calls for that type of herb.

You have an odd numbering system. ;-)
HEH. :D
@Frank LOL. I was thinking the same thing at first.
This reminded me of something that Dan @Casual Kitchen would write. Great tips. The entire list...
I forgot you know Dan. From Twitterland. :) It reminds me of him, but also of Rebecca. She taught me frugality before Dan even did.
It's a great list overall. Been meaning to save it for a while.
And as for the numbering AHEM, I should have posted "50 ways..." etc. but forgot until it was too late.
Hehe my ears are burning. :)
And yes, I did write something along these lines a while back--but nothing anywhere near as exhaustive as this list you link to Melissa. Some great advice here!
Dan @ Casual Kitchen
It's definitely very "you" Dan. Hehe. And a lot of good advice. Just wanted to get it saved and I've had it in draft for ages.
