One of the features I loved when Sarah was running this website were the daily challenges. But I have to confess, I never got around to doing most of them! I think daily was just a bit too much for me. So I am going to try doing these weekly and see how it works out.
This week we didn’t visit the farmer’s market because our crisper bins were still full from last week. We did pick up some green beans at Trader Joe’s, but besides those we are going to try to use up what we already have.
So often I find soft or even rotten vegetables at the bottom of the bin, and it makes me feel awful! One of my goals for this year is to figure out a composting system that will work for us, but until then I just want to minimize food waste and not spend any money on food we don’t eat.
Today I am going to look at our crisper and get a real idea for what we have. I think it is mostly greens for salads, which is great because there is no meal planning required! I know there are also some portabellas and those green beans but other than that I have no idea. So I am going to find out, and discard anything that I’ve let sit for too long (hopefully nothing). And my secondary goal for the week will be to eat everything that’s in there. Plus the potatoes in the hanging basket. They have eyes! I’ll be peeling those for mashers, I think.
What did you find in your crisper?
