How about them Chiefs?! I’m sure I’m not the only one that was on pins and needles Sunday evening as the game was tied late in the fourth quarter. Regardless, the outcome was in our favor this year!! Bring on the Super Bowl!

Food waste is common in households after the holidays, but also happens year round. Kansas State University food scientist Karen Blakeslee says that in almost 32% of average households, leftover food, along with forgotten food, is wasted. That is insane! According to Blakeslee, of all food waste sources, residential homes make up 37.2% of surplus food waste. Many studies have shown that wasted food fills up landfills and causes more damage to the environment than other factors. If we utilize leftovers and food already in our home before purchasing new food, this is a major step in minimizing food waste.

Are you a fair weather fan?
