Prevent Wasted Food

Qualified leftovers recipe submissions will be entered into a random drawing to win one of three $30 gift cards to First Alternative Co-op.  See our Kitchen Confessions blog for complete submission instructions. ENTRIES MUST BE RECEIVED BY 11:59PM SUNDAY APRIL 11TH to be included in the drawing.

Share those dishes that spring forth from the items in the “Eat First!” areas of your fridge, freezer or pantry before they spoiled, shriveled, freezer-burned or became otherwise inedible. It can be as simple as a short narrative of your list of leftovers and other ingredients you combine into a surprisingly delicious meal, OR a more traditional-style recipe listing of the ingredients and the step-by-step for your unique creation. 

HINT: We’re not looking for recipes from your favorite celebrity chef or America’s Test Kitchen! We prefer YOUR home-tested recipes that are a) relatively simple, b) don’t involve much prep time or specialized appliances, and c) DO involve using up leftover food items.

GOOD LUCK!
