This Week's Food Waste
None!
Hip, Hip Hooray!
After last week's unfortunate steak incident, I am happy to report that we had no food waste this week. However I have been shopping, and the fridge is bulging with fruits and vegetables. It's gonna take a lot of work to have the same report next week.
This Week's True Food Confessions
 |
| Some of the things we had to eat at home this week. |
We had a very busy weekend, so except for one thing, it was a blur. The exception was the buffet that Wally took us to. It had over 100 items that ranged from prime rib to frog legs, cantaloupe to bean curd, and green beans to turnips. A good time and good food was had by all.
During the week we did do some cooking. We fixed pasta with spinach, tomato, and meat sauce one night. Another night in the slow cooker, we cooked pork with sauerkraut, apples, and potatoes. We also had pasta salad with fresh greens, and pizza another time. The great thing was that we didn't have to cook much more than that because leftovers serviced us well the rest of the time. I had my book club over last night and my family is looking forward to munching on the leftovers from it. I think the brownies will be the first to go.
I didn't try a new recipe this week, but I did treat myself to something new from Aldi's. I tried their chicken salad with cranberries and almonds and it was quite good. I will be buying this again in the future when I want a treat.
Until next time...
Your food all looks delicious! I also have a problem with buying too much fruits/veggies at once, and then often they will go bad. I have learned that the freezer is my friend in many cases. It would be a lot easier to just shop smarter but those impulse buys seem to always get me while at the grocery. :)
ReplyDeleteDenise,
DeleteI always have great hope that we are going to start eating better with more fresh fresh fruits and vegetables. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.
So I have to ask, did you try the frogs legs? All of the food looks great and congrats on no waste :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't eat the frog legs. My father used to go frog gigging and would bring home frog legs to eat. One time when my mother was pregnant and cooking them, they were jumping around in the skillet. That was more than she could handle and never cooked them again. I've never wanted them again either.
DeleteWell done on no food waste!!! I've never had any chocolate brownie waste here either...
ReplyDeleteEven if they're burnt, they seem to get eaten. However, these are baked just right. Yum.
DeleteCongrats on no wasted food! I can't wait to get there.
ReplyDeleteSome weeks work out well, and some weeks don't for me. But I keep trying. I think next week may be your week. Good luck.
DeleteI love your collage of food pics! Yum!
ReplyDeleteThanks. At least this week, I cooked enough to make a collage. :)
