This week I wanted to use up some of the produce I had and do some meal prepping since I knew I'd be busy. I rarely cook without a recipe, but I freestyled some black bean and sweet potato enchiladas with veggies from the farmers market, canned beans, and sweet potatoes that have been sitting on my counter for a while. They were surprisingly great, and I froze the leftover filling I had and plan to use it for nachos or tacos in the future.

I know I need to involve my four year old in the kitchen more often. For us, timing doesn't always work out. I do think that involving her and teaching her about our food will help her picky eating and waste less food - fingers crossed!

I'm excited to kick off the challenge! I hope to finally make it to a farmers market this week (how is it already August?) and learn how to make my own cleaner from citrus rinds.
