Move over with your garbage bowl Rachel Ray!

I will start off by saying I absolutely adore Rachel Ray!  Love her cooking.  Love her shows.  Love her ideas.  One of her ideas is cooking/prepping food with a "garbage bowl".  She simply places a bowl on her counter top and throws all her scraps and trash into the bowl.  When she is done prepping, all of the trash/scraps are in one bowl and it is easy to dump in the trash and be rid of it. 

I take on a different approach.  When cooking/prepping food, simply line the bottom of your sink with a plastic bag {I used a Meijer bag. .any super market bag will work} and throw your scraps on top of it.  When you are finished prepping, grab diagonal corners and gather up. . throw away.  Always trying to save an extra step. . no dish to wash!  {so if you are more "green" than me, stick with the garbage bowl.}

I started using this technique for peeling potatoes.  I hated bending over the trash can and the skins were never 100% accurate on their trash can aim.  I'd end up with more skins on the floor than in the bin.  So I came up with the idea to line the sink with a bag and gather them that way.
