    Creating and actually practicing a work life balance is important also for your mental health and help reduce the burn out feeling that can be created by trying to "squeeze" it all in.

    How did you incorporate using an entire vegetable (skins, peels, tops, and stalks) during one of your meal preps? What's something new you're going to try that is a zero-waste meal practice?

    I fry potatoes with skins included.  I will try that same technique cooking yams in a future meal.
