I came across this article by Simple Savvy on making your own veggie stock. I think it’s a fantastic way to reuse old veggie scraps, especially if, like SS, you can’t compost where you live for whatever reason. SS advocates putting a scrap bag in the freezer and adding vegetable peels, vegetable ends, old herbs and older veggies that you wouldn’t eat as is.

I must admit, composting is something that I have done for many years now. It was actually the only ‘green’ thing I did for a while there! Although I don’t know why, because I’ve never had a garden to speak of, so mostly the compost pile just ended up a big, stinky, rotten mess! That will change however, when I move into my new house, as I plan on creating a wonderful garden that will feed and nourish me, with beautiful organic, home-grown produce. The compost will then serve to nourish the garden, as intended.

So I think I’ll start making my own veggie stock, thanks Simple Savvy! Winter’s coming, and homemade stock will go just great in steaming hot veggie soups… yum!
