Evening Hade

I will learn about food storage and store food based on best practices to keep it from spoiling before it is used.

I will purchase produce and meat directly from a local farmers market and make 1 meals.

When life gives me lemons (or other citrus peels), I will use the rinds to make a nontoxic cleaner.

I will buy locally grown food from my grocery store and make 1 meal(s).

I will learn about how to repurpose my leftovers into new meals and then try it.

I will volunteer 2 hours to support existing community food waste reduction and recovery efforts like gleaning or for a food bank.

In addition to using up my edible food, I will keep any extra scraps out of the trash by separating them for backyard composting, curbside pickup, or a drop-off program.

I will organize my refrigerator to maximize shelf life based on the temperature and humidity of different spots.

I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 2.
