A Tasty Way to Reduce Food Waste


Hi there, Reader

A generous tumble of crispy, crunchy croutons makes any soup or salad better, and by using up odds and ends of stale bread, you also reduce food waste. A win-win situation!

I've had a crouton recipe on my website for a while, but I've recently added an air fryer version. It's perfect for the warmer summer months when you don't want to turn on the oven, and you can have them prepped and ready in under 10 minutes!

I'll be honest and say that usually when I make these, the vast majority of them don't ever make it to a salad or bowl of soup. They are so yummy, we end up eating them straight from the air fryer basket!

Hi there, Reader A few days ago, I was tidying my hard drive and came across an old recipe I once shared (years ago) exclusively on Instagram. Crispy golden Greek-Style Fries! I made them for our dinner that night, and they were really delicious, so I thought I'd get the recipe up on my website. These delicious seasoned fries can be made in your oven or air fryer; however, when using an air fryer, be cautious of overcrowding. I recommend either halving the recipe or cooking in 2 batches to...
