My garden still has lots of lush parsley, and I hated to just compost it, especially given my challenge to reduce food waste. So I made parsley pesto for the first time, and it's actually pretty good! I expected to have leftovers, but my family scarfed it all up. Good to know.

  What a great idea! I'll try that next time I have extra parsley.

I am definitely loving the commitment to spend time each day enjoying nature (the easiest of my challenges). I have the good fortune to live close to Mt. Tabor Park, and I thought I knew every inch of that park, but today I took a side trip through the park on my walk to work and found a new trail!

To begin my challenge of reducing food waste, today for dinner we had a lovely stir fry of all sorts of miscellaneous items that were getting old. It was actually really good!

  Good work! I find an egg scramble is another good place to put those refrigerator leftovers.
