Our site pick this week is one I happened to hear mentioned on a TV news show a few days ago. Since it was about food, and I love food (too much) I took the bait and explored the site. And I\u2019m glad I did.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m no spring chicken, and I thought I knew it all when it came to how to store food correctly. But I never knew, for example, the best way to store asparagus in a vase like flowers, did you? I threw out overripe avocados \u2013 I didn\u2019t know what to do with them \u2014 but now I do. There were dozens of things about food, storing food, and using food that may be past its prime. Dozens of recipes and other ways to stop wasting food. Wasting food means wasting money, and I don\u2019t want to do that. I don\u2019t have any to waste.<\/span><\/p>\n The site is called SaveTheFood.com, and it\u2019s superbly done. You can not only find tips on how to store your food so it lasts longer, but also storage tools you can use. One of the features of the site that I think you\u2019ll find most inspirational is the recipes. There are dozens of recipes available. And some of them are unique. For instance, until I explored SaveTheFood.com, I had no idea what aquafaba was. Not only did I learn what it was, I also learned to make a delicious salad dressing with it.<\/span><\/p>\n Oh, I piqued your interest, did I? Well\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n Aquafaba, the liquid left in the pot after straining or cooking beans, is the perfect base for homemade dressing. Instead of pouring that aquafaba down the drain, blend it with a combo of herbs and spices to make an easy, delectable ranch salad dressing. Pro tip: extra ranch dressing lasts for a few days in the fridge and makes a great veggie dip.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The recipes you\u2019ll find on SaveTheFood.com are unique and easy.
