Naan bread pizza topped with tomato puree, cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers, green beans and almost spoiling arugula. Perfect study- meal

etsummer Great #nofoodwaste tip, using those almost-out-the-door greens!
-
carpe_deli Thanks @etsummer yes indeed 😋

RahulRaRa Gargeer! That's what some people call arugula or rocket around me. These greens wilt pretty easily in the heat, so this is a great recipe (I have no shortage of naan).
Delicious antipasti made with locally foraged greens.

GooseBarry @NehaNBB true, but I think we need to rely on our senses like we used to - bad milk smells bad. Maybe a milk sniff test workshop should be held in schools.
Same same but different: Melon bowl filled with mango chunks and almost spoiling peach leftovers. #nofoodwaste

RahulRaRa another bowl! so cool.
-
carpe_deli Haha thanks @RahulRaRa 😊
Breakfast idea: make a papaya bowl and fill it with different things that you still have left in the fridge #nofoodwaste

DietID_TeamDietitians I love this so much. We should see if we can set one up in NYC!
