    "Our Best Ideas for Repurposing Food Scraps

    It never feels good to throw food away. Whether you're tossing scraps from a batch of mashed potatoes or peels from bananas Foster, it’s always a win to stretch those pennies just a little bit further. It might come as a surprise to find all the ways that you can use odd bits of waste, from ingenious appetizers to creative sauces and sides. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite tricks for using various scraps headed to the compost bin so you can perform feats of culinary magic and save a buck, too. For example, many people toss the tough broccoli stems in favor of the dark green crowns, but the stems have a lot of flavor and a great texture if prepared right. Peel away the hardy exterior and include them in a creamy, cheesy potato gratin."
