Welcome to Waste Watchers! On our first of five episodes, your hosts, Chris (an intrepid nutrition professor at Arizona State University and husband to Kelsey) and Kelsey (a pro podcaster, writer, and wife to Chris) chat about the surprisingly fascinating issue of food waste.

We offer up great tools to lower your food waste, improve your health, and even be friendlier to your wallet by:

• using recipes to make good use of foods that might soon go bad.
• stocking your kitchen with the basic essentials.
• being smart about food purchases at the grocery store.
• making strategic use of your freezer to improve shelf-life and make it easier to put dinner on the table throughout the busy week.

On the show, we mention a few things:

• the Waste Watchers web site, which you can find here.
• a recipe for Leftovers soup.
• a super-simple roasted broccoli recipe, which you can find here along with a helpful video on prep.
• a sneaky delicious, veggie-filled pasta sauce recipe.
• smoothies...lots of smoothies.
