Crystal Fenton 8/24/2022 1:00 PMThis morning over breakfast my 6 year old and I had a great conversation about what food waste really means. We talked about how throwing away an item from his lunch means more than just the tossed item - there is the water used to grow it, the gas in the vehicle to drive it to our store, etc. He really did well grasping this concept and wanted to know if we could give our extra food to other people so that it wouldn't get wasted! That lead to a nice conversation about food shelves and what food insecurity means. What a day! -

Sara Chars 8/09/2022 9:22 AMI had small amounts of red sauce, pesto, lentil pasta and basil that I threw together to make a delicious pasta! I add "unexpected cheddar" from Trader Joes - killer! -
Reflection QuestionCommunity Send it Down the Grape VineDescribe the conversations you had and if you learned anything about what other people think of the topic of food waste.
Crystal Fenton 8/08/2022 10:43 AMOn a family vacation, I had the chance to talk to multiple family members about ways to cut back on food waste. Cooking together in the same kitchen made it easy to help them understand how simple it is to compost and experiment with unusual ingredients. (Googling the ingredients you have on hand often leads to fun new recipes!) -
Reflection QuestionCooking Cook Just EnoughWe often worry about running out of food so we make too much. What thoughts and feelings have come up when you make just the right amount to eat up all the food?
Crystal Fenton 8/08/2022 10:39 AMFewer leftovers means fewer dishes to wash and more space in the fridge (so things won't get lost in there)! -
Reflection QuestionKids Get Involved in the KitchenShare about a successful planning or cooking activity you have done as a family!
Crystal Fenton 8/08/2022 10:38 AMWe let our 6 year old decide how we would cook the broccoli today. He loves 'crunchy' broccoli, so we roasted it! Heck yes clean plate club! -
