I will sign up for Fridge Check Friday emails, sent by Hennepin County but open to everyone, to prompt me to check my fridge for food that needs to be used up and for hacks on storing food to keep it fresh.

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

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

I will purchase produce and meat directly from a local farmers market and make 4 meals.

I will ask for half-portions options or share an entrée when eating out to minimize food waste.

I will talk to 4 family members or friends about my experience with this challenge, food waste, and what I have learned.
