I waste SO MUCH FOOD! Do you? After throwing out produce and sour cream, ricotta cheese and etc. I realized I am not intentional about what we eat. I mean I TRIED to be but was failing. This summer I decided to be intentional with what we eat | breakfast, lunch & dinner.
I now go to the Farmers Mkt on Monday mornings and buy local, fresh, in season produce. This is helping me so much! The food seems more meaningful when buying from someone local even though they get the money whether I eat it or how it away, it would just seem shameful to let it waste. That being said I am working hard on being intentional with our menu planning and being flexible if there is food that will soon go bad that I may have forgotten about.
Menu this week:
Sunday | Mac n’ cheese (dusty was gone)
Monday | Steak kabobs + skewers of squash, zucchini & onion
Tuesday | BLT’s + fresh fruit
Wednesday | Zucchini Boats + fresh fruit & bread from the freezer
Thursday | Breakfast for dinner
Friday & Saturday | dusty and I will be in Chicago 😀
My “theme” was zucchini, squash & tomatoes based on what was available at the farmers mkt. I try to integrate different types of protein and different styles which keeps it interesting for me. I also try to keep it healthy for everyone! Planning my meals helps me stay disciplined because honestly I LOVE to eat out!
Anyways that’s what’s on my mind today. Stay tuned for my Zucchini Boats recipe + post.
We went to the ZOO yesterday with A. Mary and Nola so here’s a photo. We had a blast!!

Now that I started cooking and buying different ingredients based on recipes I want to try, I definitely see more waste. I want to be more mindful so I think I will start meal planning too.
