Also, I am using this public forum to encourage us to eat out less which includes better meal planning.
This Week's Food Waste
Apparently, this sour cream wasn't done souring or growing mold for that matter. There was only a little left, but I had plans for it--big plans. But it had plans of its own--growing mold, so away it went.
This Week's True Food Confessions
 |
| Look, we cooked! |
Despite the fact that this week contained National Drive Thru Day, we had a pretty good week. We only ate out one time as a family and that was for a special occasion. Wally and Theodore just visited their favorite drive thru three times--a big improvement.
Since we didn't eat out much, that means that we did eat at home. Zucchini was the ingredient of the week, and we had it in four different dishes. (A post is coming about our zucchini cooking when we finally finish it all.) Also, we had a family meeting to establish a better schedule for meals at home. We're hoping that will help.
Next week, we still need our menu plan which will probably come from the freezer because it's getting a little messy in there. That's my favorite kind of planning-creating with what is on hand. I'll let you know how it goes.
I had no idea there was drive-thru day this week. Oops! forgot to do my part.
ReplyDeleteWe are still waiting for zucchini in our garden. We live way out west in the Seattle area, not exactly known for its heat. Looking forward to the weeks of mucho zucchini in our meals.
A bit of sour cream doesn't sound like all that bad, for your waste for the week.
We also have yellow squash that I think will go into the freezer. We had some of that this week also. There's only so much squash one can have at once.
DeleteIt seems like Daisy sour cream goes bad quicker than others :( That's probably because it's natural. Nice job on cooking at home :)
ReplyDeleteNever noticed that about Daisy sour cream. You may be right because we usually have the store brand and haven't had sour cream go bad in years.
DeleteNice job on eating at home more often! I think that frequently grabbing fast food is a very hard habit to break. Last night our dinner hadn't defrosted in time (and was in a metal tin, so no microwave) and I ended up running to the grocery deli for fried chicken. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteThe major problem is that no one wants to cook and we all have different schedules. Take out on the way home just seems so easy. We know all the tricks. We just have to work them into our habits.
DeleteI can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually jealous of your zucchini. All mine died this year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collage BTW!
Too bad about your zucchini because it really is the workhorse of vegetables.
