It's not just the cooked food you're throwing away, it's also the parts of the vegetables that you're dumping.

For years I had been throwing the stem of the broccoli into the compost only to find out that it's not only edible but it's really tasty.

Then I hear that the leaves of radish is also edible, so that gets thrown into a stir-fry / omelette / stamppot / salad for another meal..

Totally, it’s fun to learn just how much our bodies can use! I use broccoli stems make broccoli cheddar soup :) If nothing else, freeze raw veggie scraps and meat trimmings/fat/bone for stock and turn them into soups or sauces. I freeze stock in ice cube trays, store in a gallon ziplock and throw one or two into rice, quinoa, etc.
