Food Waste Friday and True Food Confessions--Feb. 1, 2013

 It's time for Food Waste Friday, when the Frugalgirl encourages us to post pictures from the previous week of wasted food from our household. This accountability hopefully will help us to be more careful with our food and maybe save some money. Also, I am using this public forum to encourage us to eat out less which includes better meal planning. You can follow how we are doing in this endeavor by reading True Food Confessions.


This Week's Food Waste
We had no food waste this week. How'd we do it? We went to the grocery store only once to pick up milk, and we continued to eat off our list of things that were in the refrigerator.

This Week's True Food Confessions

Some of what we had to eat at home this week.

If it weren't for the pictures, I'd say that we have been very good and have been cooking at home every day for a week. That's what it feels like anyway. However, I can't seem to find the documentation for it on my camera. I do know that there are no pictures of the pumpkin bread I made, so maybe all of our other food creations are out there in Lost Picture Land. Now if I could just remember what they were.

I do know that we managed to have chicken and rice, spaghetti, this-and-that from the freezer, and an interesting pumpkin peanut butter soup. Tonight after talking about it for days, Wally brought home burritos from California Tortilla. 

So I say, if it feels like a success, then this week was a success. Now off to plan food for the Super Bowl.

Happy Eating!

    1. I had a no waste week last week also. Waste is usually not too big of a problem here. It's the eating out. Although, that has improved a lot since I started blogging about it. It's that public accountability thing.

  2. Blogging about things seems to go a long way in keeping us under check. It's good to know that there was no food waste. Lovely post!

    1. I will enjoy the Super Bowl as many do. I will watch for the commercials with a little of the game thrown in. It's also a good excuse to enjoy delicious, but not so good for you snack food.

  4. You are doing awesome! Public accountability is an amazing thing. It's been keeping me getting out walking most mornings, and that says something (coming from an exercise-hater extraordinaire).
