I will track the food that my household of 7 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

I will learn about food labels and not throw food out just based on the date on the package, but instead check the smell and color to see if it has gone bad.

I will try a new method of food preservation, such as canning, pickling, drying or making jam. I will try 6 preservation techniques.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 7.

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

When I try a new food or recipe, I will only make a small amount first to make sure my household likes it.
