Do you love the flavour of sourdough whole grain bread but struggle with it going stale too quickly? Try freezing it! You can choose to slice it all up and stick it in the freezer, making your way through it each day, or you can cut it in half and slice it to order. Many of cooking class chefs have also shared great recipes in the past for different ways of using your bread if does get a little too hard.
Here are some suggestions:
Grilled Cheese
French Toast
Did you know that many of the salad greens you buy at the grocery store have been in transit for almost a week before you get to them! Buying your produce locally can help reduce food waste in the refrigerator. Don’t be afraid to stock up on everything you need for the week, because it was likely taken out of the ground just the day before.
Some of our vendors are now selling their greens in bulk. Make sure to bring your own produce bags and you can be a part of a plastic free movement here at market! (Photo from Sungold Market Garden)
