COOKED VEGGIE WATER: You’ve probably used pasta water for recipes. But veggie cooking water can be a lifesaver too! Some nutrients could escape into the water when you boil vegetables, so you don’t want to pour them down the drain. Instead, use it as a soup base for an easy, flavorful meal.
CHICKEN BONES: Did last night’s dinner include chicken drumsticks or thighs? Don’t throw away those bones! You can use them to make your own homemade chicken stock. It will surely be way better than any store-bought version. Just boil the bones, along with any herbs of your choice, and let it simmer. When it’s done, you’ll have a flavorful base for soups or stews.
