Great news regards to tire pick up, the MMSB (Multi-Materials Stewardship Board) has agreed to send a truck anywhere in Newfoundland to pick up the tires we rec...over from our harbours and bays! The only thing is, we must power wash them and make sure they are whole tires, clean and free of anything other then rubber, as well they can only take high way tires. We will need at least 30 tires before they will send the truck, but as you all know, that's the easy part. This is a really big deal, tires make up 50% of the trash we recover. Thank you all for supporting this initiative, I couldn't have done any of this without you! See more

We all hate the sight of food going in the garbage. Leftovers shouldn’t be considered trash, but new ingredients to use in new ways! When entertaining friends and family, I often like to BBQ. It’s a great excuse to be outside on a sunny day and it’s a social way to prepare food. I always err on the side of caution and cook more than enough nobody wants their guests going home hungry! Frittata is one of my favourite dishes to make using leftover BBQ ingredients. Sausages, p...eppers and asparagus are especially good, but you can use any meat or vegetable. After chopping the grilled meats and vegetables, using an oven-safe frying pan, sauté together in extra virgin olive oil. Add whisked eggs and top off with cheese. I especially like to use pecorino, but any cheese will suffice. Place frying pan in the oven and bake at 350F for about 12 minutes or until set and voilà: a delicious, nutritious meal made in only minutes!

Set aside. Transfer spaghetti noodles to a large bowl and toss with spaghetti sauce until well combined. Mix cottage cheese and sour cream in a bowl. Spread half the spaghetti with sauce into the prepared baking dish. Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the spaghetti. Place the remaining spaghetti and sauce in an even layer over the cottage cheese mixture; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
