Trash To Table: Whey Wasteful with Cortney

Have you ever thrown away food and wished that you could re-purpose it or make something delicious with it?  There is a way!  This year at Gather we’ve made a dedication to reduce our food waste and become more conscious about how we use ALL of our food.  In our new From Trash To Table Series we’ll be bringing you a new topic each month.  And since we’ll be using food scraps, it reduces our food cost…which means that we can donate it back into the community!  All of the profits from our From Trash To Table Series will be donated to Food To Power.  Food To Power has redistributed over $6 million of healthy groceries since 213 in the Colorado Springs region. Using a "direct redistribution" model, Food to Power transports surplus healthy foods from local supermarkets, backyard gardens and cafeterias to 20+ non-profit and community-based grocery programs.

We’re already halfway through the year – and for this month we’ll be talking about all the WAYS to use your WHEY!!  If you’ve ever made simple cheeses like farmer’s cheese or ricotta at home you’ve seen how much whey is left behind.  This month Cortney will not only teach you how to make simple homemade cheeses, but we’ll take the left over whey and use it in four different WHEYS…Then we’ll talk about all of the other WHEYS that you can use your WHEY around the house (ok, I think I’m done!).
