Why freezing is the secret weapon against food waste
According to recent studies, Americans waste a staggering 145 billion meals each year, which costs an average family of four around $1,500. While food waste is a huge problem, freezing is one of the best ways to preserve ingredients and stretch your grocery dollars. But let’s face it: freezing food isn’t always as simple as it sounds. Many of us struggle to repurpose frozen ingredients in ways that are both easy and delicious. That’s where the World’s First Frozen Cookbook comes in.
This cookbook isn’t just about recipes; it’s about making your freezer work for you. By using Ziploc® Freezer Bags and repurposing ingredients in creative ways, you’ll be able to keep food fresh longer and avoid throwing out perfectly good ingredients. And the best part? It’s all about making meals fun and inventive, with Molly Yeh’s signature twist.
“Cooking is all about creativity, and I’ve found that keeping my leftovers and food scraps from ending up in the trash really challenges me to think outside the box. It’s been so creatively fulfilling to come up with new delicious ideas that puts these scraps to use.” said Yeh. “Together with Ziploc®, the ‘World’s First Frozen Cookbook’ is such a fun, spunky way of sparking creativity and, helping families preserve the food we all love while inspiring them to turn leftovers into exciting, delicious meals.”

Molly Yeh’s top tips for minimizing food waste
To make sure you’re getting the most out of every ingredient in your kitchen, Molly Yeh shares her top three tips for reducing food waste:
- Save Your Scraps: Rather than tossing out vegetable scraps or chicken bones, Yeh recommends keeping them in a Ziploc® bag in the freezer. When the bag is full, simply toss everything into a pot with water to make a homemade stock. It’s a simple and smart way to get more mileage out of your food.
- Use What You Have: Yeh suggests making “clear-the-fridge” meals that use up whatever ingredients are about to expire. Whether it’s fresh herbs, veggies, or protein, these meals help ensure you don’t forget about any ingredients while reducing food waste.
- Prep Batch-Freezer Meals: For busy weeks, Yeh suggests prepping meals in advance and storing them in Ziploc® Freezer Bags. This makes it easy to grab a homemade meal on a busy night, while also keeping your freezer organized and full of fresh, homemade options.
