I will try a recipe that utilizes parts of an animal that are typically wasted (skin, bones, organs, etc.).

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 a cookbook or recipe collection of go-to meals for my household to make meal planning easier.

I will check to see what will be ready to eat in my garden or CSA box this week and plan recipes that use these ingredients.

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden at my home or community garden.

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

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

I will visit a local pizza farm, teaching farm, or CSA grower to educate myself and my children on farm-to-table concepts.

Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.

I will involve my 2 children in meal planning, prepping and cooking activities.
