Can You Become and "Meal Maker" and Make Someone's Day?

How much food do you rekon your family wastes each week? (cooked or uncooked)
Four bin bags full? Two Tupperware tubs full? One plate full of sad looking leftovers that you just couldn't bear to microwave warm for your lunch today?



Well, what if that food didn't have to become waste? What if that food was able to offer hope, comfort, nutrition and happiness to someone who needs it most? Would you do it? No, I'm not talking about packaging it up and sending it to Africa, I'm talking about popping next door, or into your car and dropping by a neighbour or fellow community member's house to provide them with dinner! Those who are on your doorstep...

Meal Makers is a brilliant initative which has not long some to the Stirlingshire area! Meal Makers marry up those who are willing to donate dinners, with those who need them. So, when you are next cooking up a storm - whether dining solo or as a family - could you set a portion aside for somebody else to ensure, this time, that food it doesn't go to waste?



Fresh, homecooked food is far more than 'just eating', which is why I started up CouthieCantie orignially, to get more people creating it! Through Cookery and Food we chat, we share, we learn, we form relationships and we mend ourselves - as well as others - just a little bit at a time. This is why I will be supporting Meal Makers in Stirling, even through I live in Clackmannanshire.

Hopefully, with support, the Programme remit will continue to grow into new areas but for now, if you can afford to gift one meal a month, or even a week, to someone in the Stirlingshire area, regardless of where you live, please do so. You can gain ideas on what to rustle up via our online streams so why not check out @couthiecantie on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram?  Remember - simplicity is the key.

Bulk up, dish out and do something great today...Who will be 'making' with me?
