This works with all types of wine, including bubbly! You can also manipulate it to have it be more of your flavor profile. If the wine is too sweet, add something tart to it like cherry juice. If the wine isn’t sweet enough, add orange or apple juice.
Risotto
#paris6bistro
One of the key ingredients to risotto is wine. If you aren’t satisfied with your wine, that is a great place to put it. The reason why is because the alcohol and the flavor cook out of the wine so what you’re left with is a creamy risotto without any hint of a disappointing wine bottle.
Deglazing
Another way to use up wine is by making it a deglazing liquid. If you are cooking vegetables or any ingredient on a high heat and you want to scrape the bottom and get all the good flavor out, use a dash of wine.

One of the biggest keys to maintaining a zero-waste lifestyle is by always being prepared. Monica talks a lot about not buying food in plastic containers like berries and using reusable produce bags to cut down on plastic.
Another way to cut down on waste is by bringing food with you when you travel, or even just going out for the day! Monica talks a lot about bringing reusable utensils when she goes out so just in case she wants to eat a takeaway, she doesn’t have to rely on plastic utensils. Also glass jars make adorable and perfect containers!
I'm trying to cook more this week to save money and eat healthier (because too many patatas & baguettes), and I wanted to show you guys what I'm using. I brought a few bulk goods from Barcelona and stocked up on veggies yesterday when we arrived in Sitges. The conventional store was filled with plastic wrapped veggies, but it was as easy as choosing the ones that didn't come with plastic. While I'm traveling or on vacation I try to be more flexible and forgiving of myself when the ocasional trash happens, but I definitely don't stop trying

. What are your favorite zero waste to go lunches? #zerowaste #plasticfree #vegan El reducir no tiene que ser ni difícil ni caro. Hoy tomamos el autobús hacia Alcañiz donde por fin pude obtener mi Documento Nacional de Identificación! En la mañana antes de salir guardé las sobras de ayer en el frasco, tomé mis cubiertos, y así lista para salir con todo y almuerzo. Al hacer esto ahorramos dinero y la lata de encontrar donde comer, prevenimos que se desperdicie la comida, y comemos saludable. Y qué tal las lentejas, eh? No serán bonitas pero qué tal de proteína y hierro!
Week after week we reduce our packaging and food waste by: 1. Bringing reusable bags to the store or simply buying fruits and veggies without a bag. This way we save hundreds of plastic bags every year! 2. Choosing fruits and veggies that aren’t packaged in plastic. This means I sometimes don’t buy mushrooms or blueberries, but that’s okay! It’s worth the wait. 3. Choosing small neighborhood stores over chain supermarkets. These smaller stores are nicer about customers using reusable bags, they’re less likely to throw out ugly produce, and you’re supporting a small, local business. 4. Buying only what I need and only when I need it. We hardly ever waste produce this way. Worldwide we waste over 30% of our edible food! We can all help by reducing or eliminating this waste at home. How do you reduce your waste!? 
I’ve got something better! This cold orangey drink left me feeling so refreshed, and the best part is there was no plastic bottle, tetra pack, or can. No refined sugars nor food coloring. Just water and a compostable orange peel. Also, living in this van makes me extra appreciative of some luxuries I’ve taken for granted in the past, like cold drinks! There’s not too much room in our solar powered fridge or freezer, so to get an ice cold drink I fill a jar with water, put it in the freezer until it starts to freeze, but not entirely. I then squeezed half a juicy Spanish orange, popped in my reusable straw, and enjoyed! The post @girlforacleanworld is Your Ultimate Eco Friendly Food Goals appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
