Turkey Egg Rolls with Vegetable Scraps

I’m always looking for creative ways to use my food scraps. As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t like wasting food because it’s a huge waste of money, and I’m genuinely surprised at how few recipes I could find online that are specifically developed for using up vegetable scraps. Maybe not that many people are searching for such recipes? Or maybe it’s not SEO friendly? Who knows, but I’m betting there are at least a few other people like me out there. These turkey egg rolls use two cups of vegetable scraps in their filling, so they’re the perfect recipe for eliminating unnecessary food waste.

Butternut Squash Soup with Chili Crunch Oil

Butternut Squash Soup with Chili Crunch Oil

Soup is one of my favorite things to make when wintery weather takes over. This butternut squash soup is a great balance of sweet squash and spicy ginger and chili oil.

It’s extremely easy to make, and can go from stove to table in about 35 minutes (if you don’t count the prep time). Oh, and it makes great leftovers – make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for nights you don’t feel like cooking, but want a healthy meal.
