15 No-Waste Healthy Recipes to Celebrate Earth Day

Samantha Simon
Apr 22, 2016

We love to practice being green on a daily basis, whether it’s taking eco-friendly tips from Shailene Woodley or using up leftovers in food scrap recipes. Rather than just trying to avoid foods that are bad for the environment, we thought we’d commemorate this Earth Day with some recipes that really encompass green living. Find delicious uses for cheese rinds, juicing pulp and more scraps you normally toss with these 15 no-waste recipes. It’ll be your tastiest Earth Day yet!

1. Baked Carrot and Coconut Fritters: Don’t toss that veggie pulp from your morning juice. Vegetable pulp contains plenty of fiber and nutrients, and it would be a shame to waste it — turn your leftovers into lunch with this recipe for savory fritters. (via Mari Jasmine)

2. Chicken Liver Pâté With Sage, Apple and Thyme: The no-waste cooking movement encourages the use of all parts of the animal, including offal (AKA organ meat). Though that may not sound appealing, you might be surprised once you try this chicken liver pâté. Cooked down with some spices, brandy and shallots, liver is transformed into a creamy and slightly sweet spread. Bonus: Pâté goes great with wine. (via The Kitchn)

3. Ham Bone Soup: It’s not often that you get to sit down to a feast with a giant ham hock, so when the opportunity to snag a ham bone presents itself, it’s important to take it. The marrow bone is a particularly valuable leftover because of its magical soup-flavoring powers. Here’s the plan: On a lazy weekend afternoon, alternate between binging on Netflix and stirring a delicious pot of ham bone soup at the stove. In just a few episodes of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, you’ll be rewarded with a hearty soup you can nosh on all week. (via The New York Times)

4. Parm Broth: Parmesan rinds don’t have to be sad. Toss ’em into a pot of boiling water with vegetable scraps and a glug of olive oil instead of the trash can, and they’ll be transformed into a rich broth you can use in soups and sauces. (via Bon Appétit)

5. Carrot Soup With Carrot Top Pesto: Those beautiful carrots you bought from the farmers market are so good you can literally eat them whole. Save the green tops for a zesty pesto, no extra herbs needed. It’ll add a salty kick that really brightens up this creamy carrot soup. (via Love and Lemons)

6. Marcella Beans With Sausage and Beet Greens: One of the tastiest parts of beets often goes overlooked; their green tops are similar to other leafy greens like kale or chard. Stir fry them with garlic and onions for a tasty vegetable side, or mix them into tender beans with bacon or sausage, like in this recipe. (via The Taste San Francisco)

7. Vegan Beet Greens, Roasted Vegetables and Black Japonica Rice: Yet another incentive to eat both the beet and the beet greens: There are different nutrients found in each. The greens are rich in iron, while the beet itself is loaded with antioxidants. Using both makes this a balanced, no-waste grain bowl. (via Apollo and Luna)

8. Broccoli Stem Noodles With Sesame Ginger Dressing: Zoodles are all the rage, but have you tried Broodles? Okay, that name might not catch on, but that doesn’t mean broccoli stem noodles won’t. Even if you don’t have a spiralizer, you can still make these veggie noodles with Asian-inspired flavors. Just use a julienne peeler on your broccoli stems. (via All Day I Dream About Food)

9. Spring Pea and Carrot Salad With Carrot Top Pesto: Celebrate Earth Day to the fullest with a salad that’s green *and* waste free. Here’s another great use for carrot top pesto — salad dressing! (via Half Baked Harvest)

10. Beet and Pomegranate Galette: You know the old adage: When life gives you beet stems, make a galette. No? Well, you should make this rustic savory pie anyway. Beet stems pair well with Mediterranean flavors like sweet and tangy pomegranate molasses and salty za’atar spice. This light dish is perfect for a picnic or movie night in the park. (via BK17 Bakery)

11. Root Vegetable Peel Chips: Next time, instead of throwing your root vegetable peels in the trash, turn them into chips. This recipe is from Dan Barber, the chef and co-owner of Blue Hill in New York, known for his philosophical approach to sustainable eating — so you know it’s legit. Use brightly colored veggie peels for a more a-peeling (sorry) chip spread. (via Tasting Table)

12. Carrot Taco Shells: In the spirit of Earth Day, use leftover carrot pulp from your juicer for these low-carb taco shells. Carine from Sweet as Honey likes to top her tacos with a green salad and sprouts, but you can dress yours up with whatever filling you prefer. (via Sweet as Honey)

13. Roasted Bone Marrow and Parsley Salad: Nose-to-tail cooking is a delicious way to cut down on food waste. Marrow bones were once considered a delicacy for dogs; now they’re a staple on fancy restaurant menus. When roasted, bone marrow is like nature’s butter — spread it on toast and you’ll see exactly what we’re talking about. (via Wild Greens and Sardines)

14. No-Waste Tacos de Carnitas With Salsa Verde: You won’t want to leave even a little bit of these no-waste tacos. In a genius culinary twist, the juices and fat from the roasted pork go directly into the tomatillo salsa, giving it a rich boost of flavor. Roasting the pork in a little orange juice instead of frying it in copious amounts of lard also makes this recipe a little healthier and easier to tackle, without compromising taste. (via Serious Eats)

15. Velvety Mushroom Soup: Shiitake mushroom stems might seem inedible due to their rough, woody texture, but as with most vegetable scraps, they make one heck of a broth. Shiitake stems are super flavorful, but feel free to add in other mushroom stems for a more complex broth. (via Food52)

35 Minutes & One Sheet Pan Is All You Need For This Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe

Minimal effort — that's our favorite phrase. Do a bit of arranging, brushing, and drizzling, then let the oven take care of the rest of the work for a dinner that's sure to end up on your regular recipe rotation. We use chopped potatoes, carrots, and red onion in this honey mustard chicken recipe, but you could easily replace 'em with baby new potatoes, baby carrots, and shallots (or scallions) to skip the knife work!

Bonus: Throw a bit of cooked couscous or quinoa in the leftovers (maybe a cheeky sprinkling of goat cheese too), and tomorrow's lunch is sorted. If you love the sheet-pan method, take a look at some of these veggie sheet pan dinners.

Now onto our delicious honey mustard chicken recipe!

OMG Did Justin Bieber Just React To Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco's Engagement?!

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's engagement is the marquis diamond ring heard 'round the world — and Justin Bieber may have just reacted to it. Our collective jaws were already on the floor after Hailey Bieber liked the Instagram, but this has taken everything to a whole other level. The "Sorry" singer took to Instagram himself, making a post that fans couldn't help tying to the recent engagement news. Here's what he said (in not so many words).

Here's how Justin Bieber (maybe) reacted to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's engagement!

Instagram/selenagomez

We all know that Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco announced their adorable Taco Bell picnic engagement on December 12, 2024. The post is chalk-full of friend, fan, and celebrity support — including a 'like' from Hailey Bieber, herself. If you're wondering why that may be a big deal, let me break it down for you.

Hailey and Selena both dated Justin Bieber in the 2010's, and there was seemingly a bit of back-and-forth between the three for a few years there. This erupted a "feud" of sorts, leaving Hailey and Selena at odds in the public eye. However, they've continued to show us that any remaining "beef" is squashed.

But now? Now, Justin is sorta stirring the pot a little bit.

Instagram/justinbieber

On December 16, 2024, Justin posted a selfie with Hailey kissing his cheek — innocuous enough, right? Well, fans noticed he attached "All My Ghosts" by Lizzy McAlpine to the post. The song has since been deleted, but Page Six still has the screenshot to prove it.

People attach songs to posts every day, but this tune in particular caught everyone's attention. In the very sentimental song, Lizzy McAlpine sings:

I can see it now, the wedding of the year

I can see it now, he stands up there and wipes his tears

I can see it now, when all my ghosts disappear

I can see it crystal clear.

Sensing any parallels to Justin's life? Yeah, us too. He could have truly just liked the song — it's great! — but it's pretty hard to ignore the underlying message there. All I know is, I hope these ghosts "disappearing" mean the drama between this trio is officially gone for good. We don't want the girls fighting anymore!

Sorry Jude Law, The Best 'The Holiday' Relationship Has Nothing To Do With Romance

Just like Gilmore Girls fans, The Holiday movie lovers get very passionate about which couple they love most: Iris and Miles (Kate Winslet and Jack Black) or Amanda and Graham (Cameron Diaz and Jude Law). But despite the fact Miles composing a song for Iris makes me swoon every single time, when I watch the movie, I can't help but think about how the true love story of the movie isn't between any of the romantic couples — it's between Iris and her new BFF Arthur.

Here's why the true love story in The Holiday is actually between Kate Winslet's Iris and Eli Wallach's Arthur.

Iris life changes forever when she meets Arthur in Los Angeles.

Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures

The premise of The Holiday movie is pretty simple: Iris and Amanda swap homes for two weeks over Christmas to avoid their disastrous love lives, unknowingly agreeing to an adventure that ultimately changes them — and their love lives — forever. (Oh what I wouldn't give to hop on a plane to Europe to avoid boys. What a dream). When she lands in Los Angeles, Iris is totally overwhelmed by Amanda's gorgeous home, the DVD setup, and gigantic bed, but the aspect of her holiday that really shines is her ability to connect with people.

We see Iris learn all of the gardeners' names (as well as the mailman's) barely a week after arriving, and when she notices Amanda's elderly neighbor Arthur walking alone, she immediately pulls over to help him find his house. (Also, sidebar: this scene always terrifies me because why is Arthur in the middle of the street?! Why aren't you on a side walk, A?!).

Iris helps Arthur home and takes a look around his living room (which boasts at least one Emmy and Academy Award each) before inviting him to have dinner with her and boom! The greatest relationship in the movie is born.

Arthur empowers Iris to be "the leading lady in her own life."

These two become fast friends, as Iris confides in him about her disastrous love life that very same night, and he offers her a beautiful piece of advice about acting like "the leading lady in your own life" (remember folks, this was decades before main character energy). Iris also reminds him just how much of a role he played in Hollywood by helping him prep for his Writers Guild of America gala with strength training so he can climb the stairs without his walker.

So though it's not romantic, Iris and Arthur's relationship is the true love story of The Holiday because of how much love and confidence they offer each other. Neither of them expect anything in return — they just enjoy being together.

And Iris gives Arthur his confidence back too!

Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures

Soon, it's time to head off to the WGA gala, and Arthur gives Iris a corsage, apologizing if it's corny or doesn't match her outfit. Iris declares she's "looking for corny," and it's such a small moment that really illustrates that the way they've empowered each other has changed their lives forever.

Iris helps Arthur feel sure of himself again, while Arthur's encouragement helps Iris find her power...and kick her ex Jasper out of her life forever! (Plus Arthur definitely picks up on the vibes between Iris and Miles during their Hanukkah dinner party. The ultimate wingman!).

When Iris and Arthur arrive at the WGA gala, and a sold-out crowd gives Arthur a standing ovation, it's clear he wasn't expecting so many people to care about his work. And in his overwhelming shock, he has Iris to lean on. Iris and Arthur don't only care about each other, they depend on each other, and their trust, love, and understanding is just the cherry on top. And sorry Jude Law, but I'll take that over romance any day.
