Did you know that the average SAHM reader wastes $750 per year on spoiled food? Well, here is your chance to not only reduce your food waste but also WIN this money back with our Create a New Taste, Help Stop Food Waste Challenge.
Challenge Yourself and WIN!
With the average SAHM reader spending $100 a week on groceries for their family, it is estimated that 30% of this food is being thrown out, either because it goes off, goes stale or gets thrown in the bin (or fed to the dog rather than used the next day in a meal).
Stay at Home Mum have teamed up with GLAD, the experts in saving good food from going bad, to try and reduce the amount of money we are spending each year on food waste. By protecting and storing our food in the right way, meal planning, using our leftovers in creative new ways, organising our fridge, freezer and pantry and freezing our food correctly, we can save money every week, reducing our food waste and our living expenses. Bring it.

30% sounds like so much 😮
I am in pizza, put onion with the buter to be heated till the onion is red then put all the leftovers with it in the pan ( salad- chicken- meat ) and heat all this for 5 minutes then put all this over the pizza bread after a brush of a tomato sauce then to the oven and it’s ready in 10 minutes at 180 degree
Yum!!
Chicken and Veggie Bake Rolls
Take sheets of puff pastry and cut in half.
Fill the puff pastry with leftover roast chicken shredded with leftover vegetable bake (made with cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, carrots, peas and a cheese sauce).Roll it all up like a sausage roll and brush egg on the top to make the pastry golden.
Bake in the oven.
My fussy eaters did not like the veggie bake on Sunday night, but couldn’t get enough of the chicken and veggie roll on Monday night. Dipped in tomato sauce of course!
I’m in like Flynn….left over roast soup….simple chop up leftover roast veg . Put in a pot with any left over gravy and some beef stock cubes and water and cook for 20 mins then hit it with the stick blender and add chopped up left over roast meat and warm through….it’s fantastic.
