  That is amazing! I find trips like that have some eating a ton more than normal and some eat nothing so amount are always way off! Way to go!!!

I persuaded my family to wash and eat up a whole bunch of almost-done strawberries instead of tossing them today. They tasted great.

Family vacation is tricky for this challenge, not because we're wasting food, but because I'm not in charge.

My husband and I love to order entrees to share at restaurants. Did that today, no leftovers to take home!
