Food Prep

This morning I have spend a lot of time prepping some of our food so that it will not go to waste.

 I have cut up a pomegranate which Kid #5 loves and I sent some to school with her in her lunch.

 I have washed and hulled a carton of strawberries.  Some of which I will use here in a minute for a smoothie.  The rest will be used this week. 

Next up is a avocado with is starting to get to soft so I will try to use most of  it in my lunch today and tomorrow.

I plan to go through our refrigerator and see what leftovers are needing to be eaten in the next day or two and I will make those into lunches for my husband.

Keeping up with our perishable food allows for no waste and in the long term saves us money.

Food Waste

I realized when I was looking through my pictures that I didn't post my food waste from last week.  So I am just going to combine it with this weeks.

So keep in mind when you are looking this is two weeks worth.  I really wish I had no pictures to post but that is not the case :(

1/4 of a very large container of sour cream

A few strawberries

Half of a loaf of bread 

Hopefully next week will be better :(

Food Waste

I still have a few pictures to show unfortunately :( 

I had one half of a bagel go bad before it was eaten.

I had to dump out half of this bottle of pineapple juice that we did not end up using up before it went bad.

Those were the only two things this week, but still more the I hoped for. Oh we'll maybe next week :)

Food Waste Friday

Well I thought I would have no picture to post for Food Waste Friday. Most of our leftovers were eaten this week and what wasn't I moved to the freezer to use at a later time. Then I went to make some toast from the English muffin bread I made last week. Yeah not gonna happen, this is what it looked like....

Big fail on our part eating that up :(. It was really good too, not sure why we didn't finish it.

Food Waste

Once in awhile I try to remember to snap a photo of our food waste for the week.  This is it.  Not to shabby I guess.  I got the idea to do this from reading over at The Frugal Girl.  She use to do this and post about it.  Not sure if she still does but it seems like a good idea to me :)

I hope to do it more often so maybe I will have more weeks with no pictures then ones with :)

 

Food Waste Friday

Every Friday The Frugal Girl, has posted pics of her food waste in order to hold herself accountable.  Today it is being hosted by Simply Being Mum.  Anyway, I am trying to participate in this more often so that I to am accountable for our food waste. 

This is what we had this week

This is one piece of Pepper Jack Cheese that was moldy and 3 pieces of Bologna that nobody ate before it got slimy and gross.  Not to bad I suppose for the week.  But would have been better to have nothing to post about!
              

                                               

Food Waste Friday

I am hopefully going to start participating in more of these Food Waste Friday's hosted by The Frugal Girl.  I think they help me to be more accountable for using up our leftovers.

I threw away a very small amount of leftover Santa Fe Soup that I made a few weeks ago and no one ate.


 

Food Waste Friday ....Er Saturday :(

Once again I am late to the game getting this post up.  But I figure better late then not at all :)  Unfortunately, this week when cleaning out a cupboard I found that bugs had gotten into a couple of things! Ugh! 

As you can see it is a half used bag of coconut and pecans.  Ugh I was not happy about this at all!  I totally cleaned that cabinet from top to bottom and relocated several things to the freezer to make sure this didn't happen again!

Food Waste Friday

I am kinda late to the game on this one :(  Oh well!  As you can see I have no picture which is because I had no food waste this week!!  Woohoo go me!  Earlier in the week I cleaned out the frig of every thing that needed to be used up.  There was some chili and tomato soup that I had made.  I put them in individual containers and froze them.  My husband will then take them out as needed as use them for his lunch at work.  I am hoping to remember to do this more often.  We will see :)

Food Waste Friday

Well here is what I cleaned out of my frig today :(  It wasn't the best day for food waste but wasn't the worst either!

I threw out some leftover french fries, a small piece of corn bread that no one finished and a tiny bit of a head of lettuce.   Sorry not the best quality of picture but you get the idea.  Maybe next week will be better :)  I am gonna link this up to
