To help avoid food waste at home, think like a restaurant chef to be both frugal and creative with your cooking. Use overripe bananas by mashing them up and mixing them with pancake batter to make delicious, sweet treats for breakfast. Leftover coffee can be poured into ice cube trays to use for iced coffee drinks. And even leftover oil you've used for frying can be poured through a clean mesh coffee filter and strained to be reused when cooled.
