I drink iced coffee; 4 cups of brewed coffee mixed with 1/3 cup of non-dairy creamer and 2 cups cold water. I was going to put the grounds in an air-tight container and store them in the refrigerator to use for tomorrow’s pot.
It seems like a big waste to me to just throw them away. I don’t drink my coffee too strong so I don’t think there would be much difference in flavor if I reduce the water in the next pot.
I tried looking this up and no one ever suggests using the used grounds for food useage. One website even suggested that it was unsafe. What do you all think?
I really don’t believe the website about used grounds being dangerous. They’re kind of like leftover cooked veggies, which I keep in the fridge for a week before tossing and neither my husband nor I have ever gotten sick from those.
I’m not too concerned about the caffeine content either, one cup of pure coffee will have me going non-stop for the whole day.

Ok, I just read the book "Skinny Bitch." so now I’m all hyped up and ready to tackle this vegan thing. I was already a fairly healthy eater. Mostly lean chicken, salmon, and whitefish type stuff, but of course ate cheese, and milk, and eggs. Anyway, today was my first Vegan Day. I did great. No cravings really. Fruit for breakfast (I passed on my normal morning coffee!), beans and veggies for lunch, and whole wheat pasta, with sun-dried tomatoes olive oil and fresh garlic, and mixed veggies for dinner along with a Morningstar PizzaBurger and half of an organic wheat bun with some organic ketchup. How did I do? I need ideas. How are some of the non-dairy cheeses? Especially the parmesan-type stuff. I really missed that on my pasta tonight. I need some support here guys. Thanks for all your help!
