Does your produce go to the back of the fridge to die? You're not alone.

Many of us start the week with good intentions, only to end up tossing out wilted greens and expired leftovers. Let's learn to gently shift our kitchen habits and mindset in a judgment-free environment.

 

You will learn:

  • Smart Shopping: How to buy just what you’ll use

  • Strategic Storage: Tips to keep your groceries fresh

  • Convenience Hacks: No fuss ways to prep nutritious meals while saving time

Bring your questions (and your own tips) and leave with a concrete plan to reduce food waste by shopping and eating smart at home.
