When you cook your [socially conscious meal][] on Monday, we challenge you to cook twice the amount you were planning and [take the extras][] to someone you know in need. Chances are, you’ll toss out a lot of what you’re cooking for yourself anyway, so be smart and see [who needs some help][] nearby. [Many families can't afford][] a decent holiday meal, so play Santa Claus (suit optional) and offer up some delicious eats for them. Or, if time is of the essence, get a to-go meal at a local restaurant and serve as the delivery guy (or girl).
