Beat the Grocery Bill

Cooking Sales & Scraps into Healthy Broths and Soups on Zoom

Join Mark Gostkiewicz of Tri Gable Lea Farm in this Zoom webinar for a practical, eye-opening workshop on the "lost art" of frugal, healthy cooking.

Are you tired of watching your grocery budget disappear at the checkout counter? Do you want to serve your family nutrient-dense, gourmet-quality meals without the premium price tag? Turn your kitchen "trash" into culinary gold!

The secret to a resilient kitchen isn't found in expensive health food aisles—it’s found in the scraps, bones, and seasonal sales we often overlook. In this class, Mark will show you how to reduce food waste to near zero while building a "pantry" of liquid gold (broths) and hearty, healing soups.

In this workshop, you will learn:

• Strategic Shopping: Looking for sales, rotisserie chickens, butcher throw-a-ways, and farmer's market finds to fill your pot.
• The "Scrap Bag" Method: Discover how to properly collect and store vegetable ends, herb stems, and aromatic scraps to create professional-grade stocks for free.
• Bone Broth Basics: Master the techniques for making nutrient-dense chicken, beef, or fish stocks that are packed with collagen and minerals.
• From Stock to Soup: Learn Mark’s "universal soup formula"—a simple strategy to turn any broth and a few pantry staples into a delicious, filling meal.
• The Zero-Waste Mindset: Tips for using every part of the plant and animal, from wilting greens to the very last bit of a Thanksgiving turkey.
• Preservation & Storage: How to safely freeze your broths and soups so you always have a "fast food" healthy meal ready to go.

Whether you are a budget-conscious parent or a foodie looking to deepen your culinary skills, this class will change the way you look at your kitchen "waste" forever.

You'll have access to the presentation. Plus, you’ll receive access to Mark’s handouts: "Budget Broth Cheat Sheet" featuring a list of must-have pantry staples and his favorite soup recipes!
