K.E.'s Actions
Planning
Keep a Food Inventory
I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.
Storage
Properly Store Veggie Snacks
I will put carrots and celery in jars filled with water to keep them fresh, crisp, and easy to grab for up to a week. I will properly store 3 veggie snacks.
Planning
Track My Wasted Food
I will track the food that my household of 2 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.
Planning
Plan to Use My Garden or CSA Produce
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.
Planning
Plan a Leftovers Day
I will plan an Eat the Leftovers night by creating a tasty “smorgasbord" or using a recipe that repurposes leftovers. I will eat 3 meals using leftovers.
Community
Composting
We already have three composting sites, one for coffee grounds, one for cooking oil used with meat, and the third for vegetable scraps
Storage
Befriend My Freezer
I will freeze 10 leftover food items or meals for later. The freezer is my food-waste-reduction friend!
Storage
Properly Store Leafy Greens
I will roll unwashed lettuce in a dry towel, then store it in a sealed bag in the refrigerator. I will properly store 2 leafy greens.
Cooking
Swap This for That
If I am missing an ingredient for a recipe I will find a substitute I have on hand and use that instead.
Shopping
Skip the Cart
Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.
