No Waste Food Challenge - June Round-up

I was delighted to be host the No Waste Food Challenge in June on behalf of Elizabeth's Kitchen. I cannot stand food waste and we ensure we use the food we buy wisely and waste as little as possible. There were SO many delicious and inspiring recipes shared which use up ingredients that may have gone to waste.

English Girl made a Slow Cooker Vegetable Broth, a healthy and thrifty recipe, great for those chilly summer days or as a base for so many other dishes.
