At the end of every week I gather up the fragments. Fragments are foods that need to be turned into meals or frozen before they go bad. Fragments can be leftovers or ingredients.
Gathering up the fragments every week saves me time. It is more convenient for me to heat up or makeover leftovers than it is to cook a meal from scratch. I enjoy having some free time on the weekends. It is also easier to have already prepared fruits and vegies on hand. Gathering up the fragments also helps control waste which saves money.

| I sliced the apples and soaked them in a bowl of water in the fridge until I'm ready to use them. I plan on making Grandma Ruby's Apple Bread. |
 |
| I chopped up the sweet peppers. They are ready to use or freeze. I also saved the seeds for future use. |
 |
| I turned the bread scraps into bread crumbs that I store in the freezer. |
 |
| I made Number One a spaghetti sandwich out of the bread slices and the leftover spaghetti. He loves these sandwiches. |
 |
| I cleaned the cabbage and now it is ready to use. I will make coleslaw out of it for the holiday. I added the soup scraps to the soup scrap bag. I save the soup scraps in the freezer until I have enough to make a rich veggie stock. The unusable fruit and veggie scraps are fed to the chickens. |
 |
| I turned the boiled red potatoes into creamed potatoes and served them with beef sausage and salad. |
 |
| A quick and easy meal. |
 |
| I chopped up the boiled eggs and added it to the dogs' chow. |
 |
| Last but not least is the grilled chicken with mushroom alfredo sauce. |
 |
| I made up a quick and easy pizza dough. |
 |
| I sliced the grilled chicken breast and added the chopped sweet peppers. |
 |
| I made two grilled chicken mushroom alfredo pizzas and served it with a walnut cranberry salad. |
