Lean my cooking process using 80/20 rule. I use both garlic granules & powder extremely often, so have them both in the same container & within “1 step 3 sec” reach from the stove. How can you use the 80/20 rule! #leancooking #LeanInEveryWay

Spotted overproduction in my kitchen—too much food, too much waste! Adopted Lean to plan meals precisely, minimise leftovers. Hmm, if all food gets eaten in the end, is that waste? Food for thought! Are you refining your cooking habits for less waste? 🍲🔄 #LeanCuisine #NoWaste

@ExplorerJust The way it should be done 😉. Enjoy!
