I will observe how much my family members eat and learn how many portions will match our life stages and appetites.

I will rescue limp produce like leafy greens or carrots by soaking them in cold water or using them in recipes where appearance doesn't matter.

I will resist the suggestion to buy the quantity advertised on sale and only buy what I know I will eat.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 1.

I will set a timer to keep me on track with kitchen tasks and cooking and baking times so that I don't ruin food.
