I'd really like to start composting soon. But, in the meantime, I found something to do with all those vegetables scraps that end up in the garbage. You know what I'm talking about--the carrot peels, tomato ends, celery leaves, etc. They go in a tupperware container in my freezer. When the box is full, I use the veggie scraps to make broth! I started my scrap box on Thursday and by the weekend, it was full!!! So yesterday, I made a broth and then froze into containers. Next time I want to make soup, I have ready-to-use broth! You can also use your veggie and fruit scraps in green smoothies, I am told. My veggie peels still end up in the trash (until I get my compost bin going) but at least, I'm getting use out of them first.

We've been composting forever but never tried the frozen scraps - what a great idea! Can't wait to see how the broth turns out :)
