How much food is your family wasting—and how much money with it?
The average household throws out hundreds of pounds of food and over $4,000 every year. Why? Poor planning. Overbuying. Forgotten leftovers.
In this episode of the Conscious Design Podcast, Ian Peterman sits down with Janet Irizarry, founder of My Mindful Kitchen and creator of the MMK Method, to talk about real-world solutions to food waste, saving money, and raising eco-conscious kids—all without adding more stress to family life.
